    Jun 13 2025
    The Not Another One team answer questions from listeners in this special edition of the political podcast. Have we got what we voted for? How does Farage get away with presenting himself as a “man of the people”? What would an AI version of Not Another One sound like? Is there too much focus on the theatre of politics?

    Jun 11 2025
    After a bumpy first year can the comprehensive spending review give the government a clearer sense of direction? There’s the winter fuel payment u-turn, more cash for free school meals, defence, NHS and a pledge to increase capital spending. But some departments face real terms cuts and the economy remains fragile. How is Rachel Reeves going to pay for her plans and will she have to find more money by the autumn? Plus, what’s been happening behind the scenes in Reform and do Sarah Vine’s reflections on the Cameron era have wider lessons?

  • Will Labour prioritise defence at the expense of public services and welfare?

    Will Labour prioritise defence at the expense of public services and welfare?
    Jun 4 2025
    The Strategic Defence Review implies significant increases in spending and Sir Keir Starmer has insisted the money will be found but without explaining how. Will any new money for defence be well spent and how will Starmer and Rachel Reeves fund the increases? Is defence a more urgent priority than other needs such as social care and the NHS? What will be the political consequences? And is the UK heading for war or investing to avoid one? We attempt to answer these epic questions and disagree in a constructive spirit.
