Ben Wright and guests look forward to the coming week at Westminster.

Can Rishi Sunak turn around his party's fortunes? And how should the UK respond to the prospect of war in the Middle East? Ben Wright and guests on the week ahead at Westminster.

Ben Wright is joined by Conservative MP Angela Richardson, Labour frontbencher Helen Hayes and the political commentator and former government adviser, Salma Shah. They discuss whether Rishi Sunak can turn around his party's fortunes after the two recent by-election losses, and reflect on the prospect of war in the Middle East and how the UK should respond. They also discuss inter-generational fairness, in terms of pensions and housing policy. Jason Groves - political editor of the Daily Mail - 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.
