In this week’s Q&A, Michael and Maddie discuss whether Keir Starmer faces a deeper political dilemma: should the Labour party tack left to shore up its base, or move to the centre to win over voters uneasy about the party’s economic direction?
Also this week: are Britain’s closest allies being taken for granted? From Canada and Australia to New Zealand, they consider whether the UK has neglected some of its most dependable international partners while chasing influence elsewhere.
And finally, they turn to culture and ask why institutions like opera and ballet so often struggle to justify their place in modern public life. Are they relics of an elite past, or essential expressions of a deeper cultural tradition?
Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
