Leila Nathoo and guests discuss the tone of politics and the impact of the Gaza conflict.

Leila Nathoo discusses the tone of politics and the impact of the Gaza conflict with former Cabinet minister Sir Robert Buckland, Labour's Anna McMorrin and Lib Dem MP Sarah Olney.

Leila Nathoo is joined by the former Cabinet minister Sir Robert Buckland; Shadow Foreign Office Minister, Anna McMorrin and the Lib Dem Treasury spokesperson, Sarah Olney. They discuss the current tone of politics and the impact of the conflict in the Middle East on political debate in the UK. The SNP MP Richard Thomson explains how his party will take forward its call for a ceasefire in Gaza, with a further debate in Parliament. The political editor of the Daily Telegraph, Ben Riley-Smith, assesses whether the Commons Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, is safe in his job. And Anna recounts how she recently made a trip to Antarctica to look at the impact of climate change - following in the footsteps of her father, a polar researcher.

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