Not Another One
Steve Richards, Miranda Green, Tim Montgomerie and Iain Martin
SummaryPolitics in Britain moves fast, but Not Another One is here to help you make sense of the noise. Join a rotating panel of seasoned political commentators—including Tim Montgomerie, Iain Martin, and Miranda Green—as they dissect the high-stakes drama unfolding in Westminster and beyond. Rather than sticking to the headlines, this group of experts digs into the underlying shifts that are actually reshaping the landscape. Whether they are debating the viability of a potential Andy Burnham premiership, analyzing the institutional struggles of the SNP, or reflecting on the decade-long fallout of the Brexit referendum, the hosts bring sharp, unfiltered insight to the table. You will hear them openly disagree, interrogate each other’s assumptions, and tackle the tensions between populist movements and traditional governance. The show features a mix of deep-dive policy analysis and lively, tapas-style episodes that cover multiple pressing issues in a single sitting. From national security and fiscal constraints to the nuances of political communication, the panel offers a pragmatic, often skeptical perspective on the decisions made by those in power. If you are looking for a show that avoids the surface-level shouting match and instead offers a thoughtful, robust examination of how the UK is governed, you have found your next regular listen. Tune in for the candid conversations that happen when experienced voices stop reading from the script and start debating the substance behind the news.
