Planes, Pensions & Political Panic

0:00 / 23:51

Tonight's Episode

Steve Hyland and Gordon Baxter return for another light-hearted but thought-provoking wander through the week's headlines.

This week the pair ask whether Britain is fundamentally broken as another Cabinet resignation throws Westminster into turmoil. With defence budgets under pressure, questions over pensions, NHS funding and public finances continue to dominate the political agenda.

They also look at Donald Trump's latest ceasefire claims and ask whether a ceasefire is really a ceasefire when missiles are still flying.

Elsewhere, they tackle the growing travel chaos facing British holidaymakers, from airport delays and border control problems to concerns over Europe's new entry-exit systems.

Along the way they discuss:

  • The mystery of where government money actually comes from.
  • Whether Britain can still defend itself.
  • Why Ryanair always seems to find new ways to charge passengers.
  • The strange story of a woman who fell in love with a toy aeroplane.
  • Why young people and social media continue to concern older generations.
  • Whether Britain should be moving closer to Europe once again.

As always, it's news, views, observations and a few laughs from two broadcasters who remember when phones were attached to walls.
