    Nothing so ex as an ex-MP

    What happens when MPs stop being MPs? With hundreds of Parliamentarians having left the Commons this summer following Labour’s landslide victory, what happens to all those turfed out of their seats? Three former Conservative MPs; Vicky Ford, ex-MP for Chelmsford, James Sunderland, who represented Bracknell, and Matt Warman, the former member for Boston and Skegness, join host Alain Tolhurst to discuss if there is enough support, both financial and pastoral, in helping them move on with their lives, how easy is it to find a new career outside Westminster, and do we have the wrong impression about what life is like for ex-MPs?

    Will Assisted Dying Become Legal?

    After a new bill attempting to legalise assisted dying in the UK was introduced to the House of Commons, the Green Party MP Sian Berry, former Lord Chancellor and Labour Peer Lord Falconer, and Nathan Stillwell, assisted dying campaigner at Humanists UK, join host Alain Tolhurst to look at how likely Kim Leadbeater’s private member's bill is to eventually become law, the scope it might cover, how other countries like Canada have introduced and managed the process, and how to assuage the concerns of those worried about coercion, and that passing the law might start a slippery slope towards legalised euthanasia.

    As Labour prepares to mark 100 days in office Lucy Rigby, the party's new MP for Northampton North, Tim Durrant, programme director at the Institute for Government, as well as Emma Dean, managing director at Portland communications, and a former government special adviser, join Alain Tolhurst to look at how these first few months have gone, what Labour have managed to achieve back in power, some of the missteps, the briefings and rows that led to this week’s ‘reset’ in Downing Street and the ousting of Sue Gray, and what the government will do to move things forward, with a Budget and a spending review at the end of this month.

    Live From Conservative Party Conference

    In the final of our party conference specials, recorded in front of a live audience in Birmingham, two Conservative politicians - one at the start of their Commons career, and another who had reached the end - discuss with Alain Tolhurst why the atmosphere was so upbeat for a party having suffered such a massive defeat, what direction the new leader should follow to try and win back power, and whether the Tories can be united again. Lord Graham Brady, the former chair of the 1922 committee, and author of the new book Kingmaker on what really happened behind the scenes of the Conservative party over the last 14 years, was joined by the new MP for South West Devon, Rebecca Smith, as well as the pollster Scarlett Maguire, and editor at PolHome, Adam Payne.

    Chris Bryant Live At Labour Conference

    In the second of our party conference specials, recorded live in front of an audience at Labour’s annual get together in Liverpool, the arts minister Chris Bryant discusses with Alain Tolhurst why there was a less festive atmosphere then might be expected after a monumental landslide victory, what he wants to do to fix the arts in this country, and whether the rows over donations and freebies which overshadowed their first conference in power since 2009 have holed the new Labour administration below the water line, or whether the new government can push through and get on with rebuilding the country.
