Britain's troubled families, what music can do for politics, and the exam system.

Politics magazine. Helping Britain's troubled families; what music can do for politics; and Baroness Sally Morgan, Ofsted chair, discusses the exam system.

Presented by Andrew Neil and Jo Coburn.

In the aftermath of the summer's riots, the government promises to turn around the lives of Britain's 120,000 troubled families. Will their £450m scheme do the trick?

There's a look at what can music do for politics, and why some MPs have already fled Westminster for their Christmas holiday. Two who are still there - Labour's Thomas Docherty and Conservative Peter Bone - join us from the Commons. 

Plus, Baroness Sally Morgan, the former advisor to Tony Blair, and now chair of the schools' inspectorate Ofsted, joins Andrew and Jo throughout the show. Can parents, pupils and employers can trust our exam system?
