Ben Wright discusses housing policy and the upcoming by-elections with Conservative MP Paul Scully, Labour's Ellie Reeves and Westminster journalists Madeline Grant and Rosa Prince

Ben Wright is joined by the Conservative MP and former minister, Paul Scully; Labour's Deputy National Campaign Co-ordinator, Ellie Reeves; and Telegraph columnist and parliamentary sketch-writer, Madeline Grant. Politico's Rosa Prince brings expert insight and analysis, as the panel discusses the government's latest announcements on housing and the three upcoming by-election contests. Tory peer and polling expert Robert Hayward gives his view of the state of the main parties, and the programme also includes an interview with the Labour MP Charlotte Nichols, who's working with the family of the murdered teenager Brianna Ghey on their Peace in Mind campaign, to help young people with their mental health.

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