    The Burnham Identity 

    Trade unionist Brendan Ogle joins Matt to assess the task facing new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham of the Labour Party. How left-wing will he be? Will he overturn the legacy of Margaret Thatcher and 40 years of neoliberalism? They look at how his actions may influence similar political changes in Ireland, with particular emphasis on council housing. They discuss the need for skills in a young, unemployed workforce and the hollowing out of towns and villages across Britain. Brendan also updates us on the crisis in Cuba and his fears for its future.

    Overselling Simon

    Simon Harris' income tax promises: John Deasy and Brenda Power join Matt to debate the political benefits to the Fine Gael leader of making promises he may find hard to deliver. They also address the controversial issue of inheritance tax. The politics of Jim O'Callaghan's row with the legal profession are judged.

    PTP America: Testosterone, Tates, and Trump

    Marion McKeone joins Matt to explore the Trump regime’s obsession with testosterone. They debate whether the Tate brothers will be extradited to the UK and ask why the Trump family got so wrapped up with them. With the World Cup over, they ask what benefits America got out of it and what it gave to the rest of the world. The latest on the disastrous war with Iran, how the Americans cannot extricate themselves, the damage it is doing to Trump politically, and whether the Democrats are doing enough to exploit it. Also, Stephen Miller and his communist obsession, John Bolton and the bizarre Wall Street Journal article, and will Trump find Andy Burnham attractive enough?
