This week, Political Correspondent Carl Dinnen joins Tom and Robert to discuss how the spectre of anti-Semitism has returned to haunt Sir Keir Starmer's leadership. Although Parliament is in recess, it hasn't been a quiet week for Labour, as its leader was forced to suspend not one, but two Parliamentary candidates, over comments made about Israel. Tom, Robert and Carl also dissect today's inflation figures, with the UK teetering on the brink of a technical recession.

Following the King's cancer diagnosis, the team discuss constitutional considerations and the wider political impact of an unwell monarch. Tom, Robert and Anushka also contemplate when the next general election might be, after reports it could come sooner than most had expected. And should Rishi Sunak have apologised for his controversial trans jibe at PMQs?

This week, Political Correspondent Carl Dinnen joins Robert and Tom for a discussion on the return of power-sharing in Northern Ireland. The trio examine whether a united Ireland is on the horizon with republican party Sinn Fein now in government. And four years after officially leaving the European Union, has Brexit been a success?

As Tory MPs line up to slam Simon Clarke for his stinging attack on the PM, Robert and Anushka explain why it might not be the political own goal it seems. Presented this week by Julie Etchingham, the trio discuss how far will the PM go to weaponise the culture wars in this election year? Plus, will Rishi Sunak's approach to Israel’s offensive change after John Irvine’s shocking footage raises claims of a war crime in Gaza?

Robert identifies the current weakness in the Labour approach before explaining why he believes Starmer is the most ruthless politician we've seen in decades.
