    Show 389. Hilary Cass

    Baroness Cass didn't expect to end up in the House of Lords. She began her career as a paediatrician, a career path that culminated in her publishing the Cass Review into Gender Identity Services.  This is a thoughtful and empathetic analysis of the experiences of vulnerable young people.  Hilary takes us inside the report and her findings. She also makes a compelling case for banning social media for under 16s... and tells us what it's like being a newbie in the Upper Chamber.  THE POLITICAL PARTY LIVE 16 February: David Miliband 9 March: Zack Polanski 30 March: Lisa Nandy https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/ SIGN UP to Matt's mailing list to get free audience tickets to his Radio 4 series: https://www.mattforde.com/mailing-list    SEE Matt's brand new stand-up tour 'Defying Calamity' across the UK: https://www.mattforde.com/live-shows Hosted on Acast.

    Show 388. Lola McEvoy

    Lola is absolutely full of beans. Or is it Pease Pudding? Elected in the 2024 landslide, she has already made a name for herself and is climbing the ladder as PPS to Lisa Nandy. But it's her campaigning around online safety where she's really made an impact.  Should the government ban social media for children? Should smart phones be banned in schools? Let's head up to Darlington, lick a Lemon Top and find out.  THE POLITICAL PARTY LIVE 16 February: David Miliband 9 March: Zack Polanski 30 March: Lisa Nandy https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/ SIGN UP to Matt's mailing list to get free audience tickets to his Radio 4 series: https://www.mattforde.com/mailing-list    SEE Matt's brand new stand-up tour 'Defying Calamity' across the UK: https://www.mattforde.com/live-shows Hosted on Acast.

    Show 387. Keir Starmer - Live

    The Special VIP Guest is... The Prime Minister.  This is a classic episode with plenty of light and shade. There's the personal, the political, the domestic, the international and, of course, some football.  It's a mix of massive laughs and proper politics.  What's Trump like behind the scenese? What could the government do better? Would he wear aviators indoors?

    Show 386. George Finch

    George became a national political sensation in 2025 when he became the leader of Warwickshire County Council at the age of 18. The Reform councillor is now 19 and shares his experience of leadership. This is a fascinating insight into Reform as a party, to the realignment on the right and about the impact of defections like Robert Jenrick's.  But it's also about the values that underpin George's thinking and about how you get things done in politics. Who is really in charge? And who should be?
