Ben Wright hosts Radio 4's Sunday night political discussion programme.

Ben Wright discusses the latest on the migrant barge, with Conservative MP Chris Loder, Labour peer Frances O'Grady and David Linden from the SNP, plus journalist Kevin Schofield.

Ben Wright discusses the latest developments over the migrant barge moored off the Dorset coast, with a local Conservative MP, Chris Loder; former TUC leader and Labour peer, Frances O'Grady; and the SNP's David Linden. They also talk about the forthcoming Rutherglen by-election, and proposals to cut hundreds of railway ticket offices in England. Kevin Schofield - political editor of the Huffpost UK website - brings additional insight and analysis. And on a lighter note, Ben interviews political strategist John McTernan about how Prime Ministers choose to spend their summer holidays.

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