Anne McElvoy surveys the week ahead with guest MPs Tim Loughton and Jack Dromey, Jasmine Whitbread, CEO of the business campaign group London Fist, and journalist Katy Balls of The Spectator. They discuss the probability and consequences of a "no-deal" Brexit as the government prepares to unveil its preparations for such an eventuality, and the discussion moves on to the question of a second referendum. There's an interview with author and Yale professor Amy Chua about the growing tribal influence on politics, and a package on the value of charm, and whether it's declining political trait. The programme concludes with Katy Balls' review of the following day's front pages.

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