  • Did Liz Truss really consider scrapping cancer treatment on the NHS?

    Did Liz Truss really consider scrapping cancer treatment on the NHS?
    Aug 29 2024

    The disastrous "mini budget" of Liz Truss' short time in Downing Street will go down in history. But did she really consider stopping the NHS treating cancer patients in a bid to find the savings to clean up the fallout?

    Jon and Lewis speak to political biographer, Sir Anthony Seldon, about the dramatic 49 days of the shortest serving British Prime Minister.

  • Can Starmer reset Britain’s relationship with the EU?

    Can Starmer reset Britain’s relationship with the EU?
    Aug 28 2024

    Keir Starmer is in Berlin, this time for some real politics, not a football match. He’s meeting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, unveiling a new UK/Germany defence agreement. Later he’s heading to Paris to meet President Macron. The new government is on a charm offensive, with much lofty talk of a reset of UK/EU relations post-Brexit. But is that really possible? How much is just vibes? Lewis and Jon analyse what has happened and crucially what has not happened, and are joined in News Agents HQ by German Ambassador Miguel Berger.

    We also talk about whether there’s any truth that Mr Mandelson might be going to Washington and Jon is shilling for his book again. What fun.

Great podcast

Very topical, daily news from the UK. As an American who lived abroad in the UK in the 90s I love it! And with our countries still tightly connected in this global world the news agents commentary is very much appreciated!
