Nick Watt hosts Radio 4's Sunday night political discussion programme.

Nick Watt discusses environmental policies with Conservative MP Damian Green, Labour's Thangam Debbonaire and Professor of Politics, Matt Goodwin - plus journalist Rosa Prince.

Nick Watt is joined by the Conservative MP and chair of the One Nation group, Damian Green; Shadow Leader of the Commons, Thangam Debbonaire; and Professor of Politics, Matt Goodwin. They discuss forthcoming government announcements on energy, and whether either of the main parties has the right policies in place to achieve the net zero target. They also talk about controversial measures to limit car use in towns and cities. Nick interviews the former Tory Cabinet minister and head of the Climate Change Committee, Lord Deben - who tells him Margaret Thatcher would have been in the forefront of tackling climate change. Rosa Prince - editor of Politico's London Playbook - brings additional insight and analysis.

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