Episode description
During the first week of January 2023, as a fairly new prime minister, Rishi Sunak made a speech to outline his top five priorities. As 2023 draws to a close, one of those priorities has started to dominate the Commons – and could become a significant threat to his leadership in 2024.
The "stop the boats" policy is one of the big politics stories of the year, which host Niall Paterson picks over with political editor Beth Rigby. They also discuss how Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has been setting himself up for a general election next year.
Also in this series, Niall will look at international affairs, the economy, science and tech, and the Royal Family.
