Episode notes
This week, Calum Macdonald, Jo Tanner and James Nation dive into another week of political drama.
We dissect Sir Tony Blair’s explosive 5,700-word essay critiquing the current administration's lack of a coherent plan for a fast-changing world.
Why has Downing Street stayed completely silent and Is Starmer's stubborn leadership style costing the party its grip on power?
We also break down former Health Secretary Alan Milburn’s damning new report on the youth unemployment crisis.
With over 1 million young people now classified as NEETs (Not in Employment, Education, or Training), the team exposes the structural red tape, apprenticeship failures, and mental health challenges pushing young Brits out of entry-level jobs.
