  • Trump's sneezed – can Starmer stay calm?

    Trump's sneezed – can Starmer stay calm?
    Apr 4 2025
    Another episode, another cheap hotel room to record the podcast for Beth as she follows Keir Starmer for the Labour local election launch.

    Ruth and Harriet are a bit closer to home to discuss the real implications of Donald Trump's scoreboard of tariffs.

    It might have felt a bit Eurovision but how does the PM stay calm about what it means for the UK? Harriet explains how there are three camps in Labour with different views on whether the Chancellor's promise not to raise any more taxes can hold.

    She also thinks one consequence of a UK-US trade deal could be 'heartbreaking'.

    And with the makers of Netflix hit Adolescence going to Downing Street this week – we talk about how TV drama can make a difference in real life.

  • Can Starmer silence the rebels?

    Can Starmer silence the rebels?
    Mar 28 2025
    Beth Rigby, Ruth Davidson and Harriet Harman analyse Rachel Reeves’s spring statement and how Donald Trump may have made things worse for her.

    The chancellor has redone her maths to make sure she sticks to her own rules on running the economy - but in doing that she has got tougher on welfare cuts. Can Labour keep the dissenting voices within their own party quiet? Harriet has some insight on how they'll be trying to do that.

    And do Trump's tariffs on US car imports (and the prospect of more tariffs looming) just put the chancellor on the backfoot anyway?

    Also, after an American journalist was added to a US government Signal group, how much government business is done on apps? And how much loose-lipped gossip is on there?

    Meanwhile, as Beth goes into the last few weeks of London marathon training, did we just start the Electoral Dysfunction run club?

  • Is Rachel Reeves about to have a very tough week?

    Is Rachel Reeves about to have a very tough week?
    Mar 21 2025
    As Rachel Reeves prepares to unveil the spring statement next week, Beth, Ruth and Harriet discuss what cuts the chancellor will make to close her budget deficit and how difficult it will be for her to justify her actions.

    They also examine the effects of this week's welfare reforms and look at what a change in the personal independence payment, or PIP, means for those who rely on it.

    Also, how will Sir Keir Starmer's "coalition of the willing" protect Ukraine from Russia without US support? The three look at how the prime minister is performing on the world stage and what difference he can make.
