    Can you fix the prison service?
    Sep 19 2024
    In a rare insight into the prisons crisis, a serving governor at one of the UK's crowded jails has spoken anonymously to Sky News about conditions inside, the reality of early release and why we should rethink who is put behind bars.

    "There is a smell that you would always associate with prison. It's the smell of unwashed bodies," they told Sky News.

    On this episode, Niall Paterson speaks to former prison governor Professor Ian Acheson, author of the book 'Screwed - Britain's Prison Crisis and How to Escape It', about the prison environment, and how systemic a problem it has become.

    The riots have gone but the anger remains…
    Sep 18 2024
    In Hull, in the aftermath of summer riots that saw an asylum hotel attacked, shops looted, and cars burned, two strong feelings remain.

    Resentment over a perceived strain placed on local services by asylum seekers and anger from the feeling that politicians are ignoring their concerns.

    On this episode, Niall Paterson is joined by producer Sarah O’Connell, who recently visited Hull to meet residents who witnessed the violence in the city on 3 August.

    They discuss how locals feel that they aren’t listened to, and the deprivation that some in the city experience every day.

    'Let’s finish the job’ - Ed Davey at the Lib Dem conference
    Sep 17 2024
    Ed Davey told the Liberal Democrat party conference that he would "cut through the government's doom and gloom" and plans to "vanquish what's left of the Conservative Party".

    With attention-grabbing stunts, which this week extended to arriving at the conference on a jet ski, and a record-breaking 72 seats in parliament making them the third biggest party, can the Lib Dems keep the momentum going?

    Niall Paterson sits down on Brighton's pebble beach with our political correspondent Rob Powell, to debrief on the gimmicks, the conference, and Ed Davey's speech.

    Plus, Niall catches Lib Dem MPs Tim Farron, Layla Moran, and Calum Miller to get their reaction to Davey's speech and their party's ambitions.

  • 'Never surrender!' - Trump defiant after another assassination attempt

    'Never surrender!' - Trump defiant after another assassination attempt
    Sep 16 2024
    Donald Trump has faced a second assassination attempt while playing golf in Florida.

    The accused, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, is said to have fled the scene but was eventually arrested and charged with federal gun crimes. With just seven weeks out from election day, how will voters react to the apparent second bid on Trump's life?

    Niall Paterson is joined by Scarlett Maguire, director of JL Partners pollsters, to explore what the polls suggest about the race for the White House, and what the latest attempt on Trump could mean for them?

    Plus, Sir Keir Starmer is in Rome to meet with his Italian counterpart, right-winger Giorgia Meloni. On the agenda is tackling illegal migration, and the prime minister has said he is "interested" in an offshore migration deal Italy has struck with Albania. But the home secretary has said it is not on the cards "at the moment".

    Our political correspondent Darren McCaffrey is in Italy and discusses with Niall what Sir Keir seeks to learn from Meloni's approach to immigration, and the unease some in his party have to strengthening their relationship.

  • Prisoners celebrate - but is early release good news?

    Prisoners celebrate - but is early release good news?
    Sep 10 2024
    On Tuesday, 1,700 prisoners were released early from their sentences in the first phase of Labour's plan to tackle overcrowding.

    Policing minister Dame Diana Johnson says the prisoners will serve the rest of their sentence under the strictest licensing conditions, but there are questions over whether this is a long-term solution as currently 2,000 prisoners are recalled every month for breaching their release licence.

    Daily host Matt Barbet is joined by sky correspondent Mollie Malone who's been speaking to some of those set for early release, and home editor Jason Farrell explains the size of the issue the new government is facing when it comes to the state of our prisons.
