Are we at war with Russia? What do the public think about the risks to Britain? Fascinating episode of our podcast, tackling the issues too many are shying away from. Thank you to defence expert @jeegarkakkad who joined me, @Ed_Owen @AnnaCMcShane and @BenLucas_ in the cowshed
Britain knows the world is becoming more dangerous. The question is whether our politics is prepared to admit it. This week, @jeegarkakkad joins the herd as we ask what a serious programme of national resilience might look like. Listen now everywhere!

A reunion episode this week (for those who remember The Power Test) as @Samfr joins the herd to set out why the left must continue to slay the belief that putting well-intentioned, progressive people in charge will automatically make the state function effectively. Listen now!

The problem with labelling it ‘progressive education’ was that, if you’re progressive, you automatically assume this must be a good thing! It took education debate away from science and into the arms of identity politics 🤦‍♂️ 😔
We’re back at school after half term with a new episode on the fallacies of so-called ‘progressive education’ and why the left need to learn tough lessons about the future of the classroom. Featuring @daisychristo @Kris_Boulton with regulars @AnnaCMcShane & @Ed_Owen! Out now!

Our episode on whether it’s time for the UK to dump Trump is very prescient too!
US think-tank @ThirdWayTweet's @jsfreed joins the herd to lay out why Keir Starmer needs to slay the sacred cow that the only way to save UK-US relations is to keep up the bromance with President Trump.

Loved taking part in our latest @NoCowsPod podcast to debate, in part, whether the left should stop beating up on @michaelgove on education with guests @daisychristo and @Kris_Boulton as well as @AnnaCMcShane and @Ed_Owen

Good to see people outside the world of education taking an interest in the weird ideologies which permeate the establishment. I wish more policy makers would take such an active interest and get to understand the challenges. Be more Gibb.

While Westminster wailed about coups and plots, last week @AnnaCMcShane laid out another teething problem - what to do about babies. A popular discussion on the right, what does the left think about declining birth rates and how should we support families? Out now everywhere!

This week Keir Starmer biographer @TomBaldwin66 joins the herd and lays out why it's time for the centre-left to get over its timidity on Brexit and offer something to a huge portion of Labour's vote currently looking elsewhere. It’s a big conversation.
