Parliament under pressure: Select committees in the age of lawfare

Are House of Commons select committees equipped to meet the new challenges facing parliamentary scrutiny? Liam Byrne, the Labour former minister leading a review of the committee system, joins us to explore whether committees have the powers, resources and support they need in the modern scrutiny environment. Among his concerns is the increasing use of “lawfare” to force the disclosure of information provided by whistleblowers who give evidence to committees. How can Parliament protect witnesses from retaliation? And does the Commons have adequate powers to compel people to appear and obtain the documents its committees need? With Andy Burnham promising closer ties with the EU, is it time to reinvent the European Scrutiny Committee? Could Westminster learn from New Zealand by setting aside a week for committees to examine departmental public spending? And does Parliament need a parliamentary budget office to help MPs interrogate the public finances and the cost of policy choices? It would not come cheap, Liam acknowledges, but he argues that it looks increasingly necessary. Plus, how has the Burnham factor reshaped British politics? As MPs return to Westminster after the conference season, we explore how the shifting balance of power could play out in Parliament. The new Prime Minister has set out ambitious long-term goals. But he already has a commanding Commons majority. How might he use it? We finish with some unsolicited advice for Ed Davey. Facing criticism that the Liberal Democrats have made too little impact since the election, how could he use his 72 MPs – the party’s largest-ever contingent – to make a bigger splash at Westminster? ____ 🎓 Learn more using our resources for the issues mentioned in this episode. ❓ Send us your questions about Parliament: ✅ Subscribe to our newsletter. 📱 Follow us across social media @HansardSociety / @hansardsociety.bsky.social £ - Support the Hansard Society and this podcast by making a donation today.

Words Matter: Down to the Wire in a Battle for America’s Soul

We are eighteen days away from truly monumental midterm elections. There is reason for optimism - polling looks good, Republican efforts to cheat have been thwarted in the courts, and Donald Trump is starting to lose control over his own party. But we also know that Donald Trump and his cronies in Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, and the rest of his Cabinet will do anything they can to stay in power. Norm Ornstein and David Rothkopf discuss the importance of these midterms and how the next two years will be a battle for America’s soul. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

The Daily Blast: Fox News Just Nuked Trump with His Most Disastrous Poll Yet

The new national poll from Fox is absolutely awful for Donald Trump and the Republican Party. It finds Trump at a record low approval, shows him absolutely cratering with independents and Latinos, and even finds him underwater with noncollege whites and non-MAGA Republicans. It also finds Democrats expanding their lead in the generic ballot matchup to nine points and shows them with commanding leads among many key voter groups. But what if the polls are wrong? Republicans are betting on this, and it’s the topic of a big and serious debate among many observers. So we talked to Natalie Jackson, a polling expert who founded the Centerline firm and wrote well about this debate as a columnist for National Journal. She puts the Fox numbers in historical context, explains why the big question is just how good a night Democrats will have, walks us through the debate over polling accuracy, and details how polling firms are trying to avoid a big miss.

Ep 271 — Birtherism 2.0

DOCKET ALERTS: Maryland Congressman Andy Harris is confused about who gets to record him losing his mind in public. Judge Tim Kelly issued a preliminary injunction, continuing the TRO which blocked the White House from banning reporters from CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from accessing the White House grounds. Naturally the White House has appealed to the DC Circuit. And now the DOJ is investigating media outlets who boycotted pool coverage for potential antitrust violations. (No, it's not an antitrust violation, STFU.) Judge Ana Reyes is pissed that the Park Service razed hundreds of healthy trees at East Potomac Golf Course after repeatedly assuring her that they'd do no such thing. She issued a TRO and vowed to put officials on the stand Monday until she finds out who is to blame. DOOFUS OF THE DAY: The new White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is very bad at her job. She's also not a lawyer, despite years of holding herself out as one. MAIN SHOW: Can the Trump administration really denaturalize and deport Rep. Ilhan Omar? The J.M. Smucker Company has sued Trader Joe's for trademark infringement and dilution over its knockoff "Uncrustables." Is this another "Buc-ee's" overreach, or does Smucker's have a point? SUBSCRIBER BONUS: An appeals court in Ohio just struck down the state's voucher program that funnels taxpayer money to religious schools. We talk about that case and the separation of church and state and so much more. CNN v.

How China's Economic Miracle Shattered

In this episode of Pekingology, Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Logan Wright, author of the new book Broken China: How the Economic Miracle Shattered and What it Means for the World. Logan argues the Chinese economy is already shrinking, in large part due to its overextended financial system. Logan and Henrietta discuss what happens when the tools on which Beijing relies to control the economy stop working, why China's stalling economy is causing problems for its trading partners, and how Chinese financial policy may be fueling organized crime around the world.

American Power Extra: What Happens If Trump Loses Congress?

In this American Power Extra, Chad Scott breaks down what a Democratic House and potentially a Democratic Senatencould actually do to constrain Trump after the 2026 midterms. From war powers and military funding to oversight, confirmations, impeachment, and the limits of congressional authority, this episode looks at where Congress has real leverage and where the president still holds the advantage. The episode also examines the critical lame-duck window between Election Day and January 3rd, when Trump and a Republican Congress could lock in funding, appointments, or even military realities that a new Democratic majority would struggle to reverse. We’re always looking for new opportunities to partner with creators, companies, politicians, and organizations that share our mission.
