Carolyn Quinn hosts Radio 4's Sunday night political discussion programme.

Carolyn Quinn discusses MPs' security with Conservative backbencher William Wragg, Labour's Darren Jones, Annabel Denham from the IEA think tank and journalist Anoosh Chakelian.

Following the death of Sir David Amess, Carolyn Quinn discusses further security measures for MPs with the Commons Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle. Her panel guests are the Conservative Chair of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, William Wragg; Labour's Darren Jones - who chairs the BEIS select committee; and Annabel Denham, from the Institute for Economic Affairs think tank. They're also joined by the New Statesman's Britain Editor, Anoosh Chakelian. The programme includes an interview with the Conservative peer Baroness Bertin, explaining why she's trying to amend legislation, in order to place a legal duty on all police and public bodies to prevent domestic and sexual violence.

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