Rigorous analysis of news and current affairs, presented by Martha Kearney.

Analysis of news and current affairs. Martha Kearney interviews former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and speaks to the co-author of the unofficial biography of David Cameron.

The former Liberal Democrat leader gives a speech to the Party Conference warning that a No vote in the EU referendum would lead to the break up of the UK. 
He speaks to Martha about the challenges facing the party saying that it will bounce back from the 8 MPs elected in 2015, but that he had not been contacted by any Labour MPs seeking to defect after the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Leader.
He also says he has no recollection on blocking a ministerial job for former Conservative donor Lord Ashcroft, but that he had intervened to stop Lord Howard from being given a job in the European Commission.

The Co-author of the unauthorised biography of David Cameron containing lurid allegations about the Prime Minister's time at University tells us she had no qualms about working with the former Conservative Treasurer on the book, despite the breakdown in his relationship with the Prime Minister.

We discuss what the involvement of Chinese money to fund the Hinckley Point nuclear power plant tells us about the state of the UK's nuclear industry.

And Henry Dimbleby, who co-wrote the Government's free school meals plan tells us that the reported scrapping of the scheme would be the single worst policy in relation to school meals since they were originally introduced last century.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
