Description

Boris Johnson reckons he is now more popular in parts of Kyiv than parts of Kensington, so how worried should the prime minister be as Partygate returns to the frontpages?
 
With the UK at the heart of the West’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the podcast team weigh up Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin’s comments at the IfG on UK defence priorities.
 
And if it wasn’t for crises – of very different natures – we might be talking more about policy, so was the government’s new education white paper worth the wait?
 
Former Department for Education adviser Sam Freedman joins the podcast to discuss another eventful week in British politics.
 
Bronwen Maddox presents, with Alex Thomas and Tim Durrant.
 
Produced by Candice McKenzie.
