  • What a load of Meloni!

    What a load of Meloni!
    Sep 20 2024
    Starmer’s meeting with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni caused quite a stir. Is it meeting with her in the first place that’s the problem? Or is it because Italy’s deal with Albania over migration is, at the very least, problematic? The panel discusses how the Government should navigate world leaders it might not agree with. Plus, Sir Ed Davey wants his Lib Dems to replace the Tories as the official opposition. Is that a real prospect or an idea as silly as his many campaign stunts? Then, in the Extra Bit for subscribers, John Elledge says space is "boring" in his latest column for the New Statesman. Is he right, and why is it all Elon Musk’s fault?

    Sep 17 2024
    • OGWN Live in Hove, Weds 9 Oct. Tickets here. Party conference season is here and there’s much to talk about. What really goes on at these events, do they matter and what kind of vibe will Starmer give now he’s at the helm? Plus, the UK’s creative arts industry has some of the lowest government funding levels in Europe. Will Labour put a cash rocket up the arts? Or will it continue to let the industry decline?

    Nobody's fuel – What does the winter cuts saga mean for Starmer?
    Sep 13 2024
    Keir Starmer’s cut to the winter fuel allowance has passed through Parliament – but at what cost? Plus, the Harris-Trump presidential debate was dominated by Trump lying through his teeth, but do we expect any difference from him? And does this make any difference to the race for the White House? Associate professor in politics and international relations at UCL, Dr Julie Norman, joins the panel to discuss. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, Labour is coming across as the no-fun, eat-your-greens party. Is it forgetting that joy matters too?

    Sep 10 2024
    • OGWN Live in Hove, Weds 9 Oct. Tickets here. The final Grenfell Tower fire report told a story of tragedy, greed, and dishonesty. What can Starmer’s Labour Party learn from the mistakes made that led to 72 lost lives? Plus, we speak to Andrew Connelly about the new podcast Fortress Europe, a seven-part podcast series that explores how years of brutal, dehumanising, anti-migrant policies have had their impact across the continent. And in the final part of the show new research suggests more people are starting to agree that the Tories are “weird” – why?

  • (50) Days of Starmer – What have we found out about the PM?

    (50) Days of Starmer – What have we found out about the PM?
    Aug 30 2024
    • OGWN Live in Hove, Weds 9 Oct. Tickets here. • New second live date in Liverpool, Tue 24 Sept. Tickets here. Starmer has been in office more than 50 days – at least he’s beaten Liz Truss there, but his approval ratings have fallen. Is that because people now know more about him and don’t like what they see? Or is it just a natural decline in popularity? Plus, the UK’s criminal justice system has been described as being in “crisis”. Prisons are overcrowded and there aren’t enough prison officers. What can Labour do to solve things and how much work is needed? Penelope Gibbs, director of Transform Justice, joins the panel. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, Oasis are back – what else would the panel definitely maybe like to see return from the ’90s? • Get exclusive Nord VPN deal here - nordvpn.com/ohgodwhatnow.

    Aug 28 2024
    • OGWN Live in Hove, Weds 9 Oct. Tickets here. • New second live date in Liverpool, Tue 24 Sept. Tickets here. Keir Starmer has painted a bleak picture of Britain’s future over the next few years. Is he being a needlessly miserable sod, or just realistic? And there have been multiple arrests over social media posts supporting the rioting a couple of weeks ago. Has social media made people think that actions don’t have consequences – and what are we going to do about it? • Get exclusive Nord VPN deal here - nordvpn.com/ohgodwhatnow.
