Manage episode 484060630 series 3406899
Calum Macdonald, Kirsty Buchanan, and Jo Tanner discuss the U-turn on winter fuel payments for pensioners, the implications of this decision, and the broader context of UK politics. They reflect on the Labour Party's performance, the economic situation, and the upcoming EU-UK reset deal, highlighting the challenges and pressures faced by the current government. We're joined by Alexander Stafford, a former Conservative MP and former Parliamentary Private Secretary to Boris Johnson and Kemi Badenoch…to discuss the recent reset of the UK-EU relationship following Brexit, focusing on a new three-part deal aimed at enhancing cooperation on security, defence, and trade. The conversation explores the implications of this deal, including the perceived winners and losers, the impact on businesses, food security, and the fishing industry, as well as the political ramifications and public perception surrounding the agreement.
