    Remembering John Prescott

    Former Labour Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott has passed away at the age of 86. Prescott fought for his constituents in Kingston Upon Hull East in Parliament for forty years and shook the political landscape, most famously getting into scraps with a voter after he got lobbed with an egg. Former Conservative leader Lord Hague, who was the opposing figure against Prescott at the Dispatch box, is our special guest today joining Conservative commentator Albie Amankona and journalist Rebecca Reid in exploring his legacy. Albie and Rebecca also talk about whether there is a waning trust in charities, and education reform.

    Does the Archbishop still matter?

    There will be a new Archbishop of Canterbury - subject to a long, secretive process which is now underway. Giles Coren and Helen Rumbelow join Stig and Aasmah to mull whether the Archbishop still matters. And they discuss Elon Musk's arrival in the US federal government, whether we should eat less meat to save the planet and the cuteness or ickiness (or both) of Melania Trump's memoir extracted in The Times.

    The Archbishop of Canterbury is facing mounting calls to resign after failing to report prolific abuser John Smyth to the police five years before he died. William Hague and Kezia Dugdale join Stig and Aasmah to discuss where that leaves Welby's tenure and the Church of England, along with what we can expect from a Trump-dominated America, the end of Gary Lineker's stint as Match of the Day host and whether sequels are always rubbish.
