  • Why is the government being accused of a Brexit U-turn?
    Apr 14 2026

    A decade on, you might have thought Brexit was done and dusted – but our relationship with the European Union is still in flux.

    Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is proposing a reset that could result in the UK signing up to EU rules without the need for a normal parliamentary vote, under what are known as Henry VIII powers.

    But in pushing for closer ties with the continent, is he risking a return to rule-taking without any say in what those rules are? And what might this new relationship with Brussels look like?

    Niall speaks to Professor Anand Menon, director at UK in a Changing Europe, about the significance of this moment in UK-EU relations.

  • Why the Hungarian election matters for Putin, Europe and Ukraine
    Apr 13 2026

    After 16 years in power, Hungary's Viktor Orban has been defeated by Peter Magyar, whose Tisza party has won a huge parliamentary majority.

    Magyar campaigned to break the country away from Russia's grip and re-establish closer ties to the European Union, in a setback for both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. But is this a genuine turning point and a strategic win for Ukraine's war efforts?

    Niall speaks to our Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett in Budapest to find out how significant the change of regime could be across the continent.

  • Why Trump might be about to get angry about elections
    Apr 10 2026

    Donald Trump's war in Iran has been polling badly among many of the groups that voted for him in 2024, and that matters as crucial midterm elections are just over six months away.

    These elections take place two years into the presidential cycle, with voters able to choose who runs Congress. Currently, the Republicans control both the Senate and the House of Representatives, giving the president freedom to enact his agenda.

    So how exactly do the midterms work and how much would change for Donald Trump if his Republican party has a bad night?

    Niall is joined by US correspondent and co-host of the Trump100 podcast, James Matthews.
