Isabel Hardman reviews an eventful week in Westminster.

Isabel Hardman from The Spectator reviews an eventful week in Westminster. She's joined by the former Conservative Party Chairman, Lord Baker, and the Conservative MP Danny Kruger to discuss how long Boris Johnson can survive after the vote of confidence earlier this week. Polly Neate, Chief Executive of the housing charity Shelter and Robert Colville from the Centre Policy Studies debate the Prime Minister's announcement to extend the right to buy to housing association tenants. Labour's Rachael Maskell and the former Conservative Transport Secretary Lord McLoughlin discuss the impact of the planned rail strikes. The former Conservative minister Lord Vaizey and the shadow science minister Chi Onwurah consider the uncertainty over the UK's membership of the EU's Horizon programme.

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