19 GEN 2026 · Why has Keir Starmer ruled out economic retaliation against Donald Trump’s new tariff threat over the US purchase of Greenland?
And what options does it leave him and other world leaders to persuade the US president not to bring in 10% tariffs on 1 February for Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland?
Tom Bradby and Robert Peston discuss the fallout from Trump’s latest jaw-dropping power play in this special edition of Talking Politics. Got a question for the team? Email talkingpolitics@itv.com
14 GEN 2026 · Rachel Reeves today unveiled a huge rail infrastructure project, the long-awaited Northern Powerhouse Rail, which she insists "isn't just political, this is personal.
"But her big announcement comes on the day of yet another U-turn by the government, this time on digital IDs.
So, has the latest volte-face overshadowed the Chancellor's big day?
And with all these U-turns stacking up, we ask the seemingly eternal question: what does this government really stand for? Got a question for the team? Email talkingpolitics@itv.com
13 GEN 2026 · Do you want to buy your own home? Are you a renter paying record high housing costs? Are you a council tenant living in squalid conditions?
Or are you one of the 350,000 homeless without a place to live, trapped in temporary accommodation?
Having unearthed British housing at its very worst, Investigations Editor Daniel Hewitt grills Housing Secretary Steve Reed on what Labour are doing to solve the national crisis.
It was the government’s number one priority on the first day of taking office, but 18 months on, house building remains slow, homelessness is still rising, and if the polls are to be believed, voters are not impressed.
So what’s the plan to turn it around? Got a question for the team? Email talkingpolitics@itv.com
7 GEN 2026 · Tom Bradby and Robert Peston discuss President Trump's frenetic start to 2026, which has escalated fears of a military seizure of Nato territory Greenland.
As Robert explains, Trump's obsession with the giant Danish island is not going to go away. Trump says it's in the interest of ‘national security’ - but is there something else driving him? Something which Greenland has - and which China has - that the United States doesn't?
All of this comes just days after Donald Trump attacked Venezuela and captured its president Nicolás Maduro - and just before the US seized a Venezuela-linked Russian oil tanker for violating US sanctions.
Tom and Rober discuss the potential consequences of two NATO allies being caught in a military standoff, and what Sir Keir Starmer can do to resolve tensions between the US and Europe - tensions that threaten to put the whole world in a much more dangerous place.

17 DIC 2025 · It's Trump vs the BBC as the President of the United States attempts to sue the broadcaster for $10bn over its Panorama documentary.
The BBC has admitted it made a "mistake" with its edit of a Trump speech on the day his supporters stormed the Capitol. The President's lawyers said it falsely portrayed him as a "violent insurrectionist" and was a “brazen attempt” to interfere in the US election.
The question now is, what could the consequences be for the BBC? Should they fight the case or settle with the President? And what will the broadcaster look like as the government begins a consultation on its future? Tom Bradby joins Political Editor Robert Peston to discuss.
Also, what will politics have in store for us in 2026? Tom and Robert both predict that Sir Keir Starmer will still be Prime Minister this time next year, despite all the recent talk of plots and challenges to his authority. Got a question for the team? Email talkingpolitics@itv.com
10 DIC 2025 · Tom and Robert discuss Trump's National Security Strategy - a 33-page document which sets down in black and white his vision of the world, and which has ramped up anxiety across Europe. In it, the threat of aggression from Russia and President Putin are all but disregarded - no wonder Moscow says it's 'largely consistent' with their own vision for global affairs. There's also little attention paid to the threat from China; instead, it's Britain and the EU who come under fire, as it warns of "civilisational erasure" as a result of immigration. What can Britain, and its European allies, do as the United States appears to take another step away from them? And how grave are the implications of this new Strategy for Ukraine?

3 DIC 2025 · Warning: This episode contains some discussion of racist language which listeners may find distressing.
A week on from Rachel Reeves' Budget, Paul Brand and Robert Peston take stock of the extraordinary row between the Treasury, the Chancellor, and the OBR over who knew and said what about the public finances in the preceding weeks.
Robert says it's the result of one of the 'biggest shambles in terms of Budget preparation' that he can recall. But has the Chancellor ridden out the storm - or could she still have to resign?
Also: A former classmate of Nigel Farage has alleged the Reform UK leader racially "tormented" him when they were at school together. Farage says the claims are 'categorically' untrue - but how politically damaging could they be for him? Got a question for the team? Email talkingpolitics@itv.com
26 NOV 2025 · Chancellor Rachel Reeves has finally revealed her Budget plans, albeit after the Office for Budget Responsibility published them first, by mistake.
But will tax rise upon tax rise win over doubting voters - or will her tactic to delay many of the key measures coming in return to haunt Labour?
In Talking Politics, Paul Brand and Robert Peston are joined by Professor Jane Green, director of the Nuffield Politics Research Centre, to pick apart the Budget strategy. Got a question for the team? Email talkingpolitics@itv.com
21 NOV 2025 · Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has told ITV News his government has restored respect to politics since coming into power.
When he came into Downing Street in July 2024, Starmer promised to "restore honesty and integrity to government”.
However, since then, it's fair to say it's been a stormy ride for him and the Labour Party.
Shortly after becoming prime minister, he attracted attention for the scale of the gifts he had been receiving, and more recently in September his deputy Angela Rayner resigned after breaking the ministerial code.
When asked if he could "hand on heart" say that his government had restored respect to politics, Starmer answered, "yes". Got a question for the team? Email talkingpolitics@itv.com
19 NOV 2025 · After months of furious speculation, briefing, leaking, and U-turning, the Chancellor Rachel Reeves is finalising her all-important second Budget.
It now looks like the rates of income tax won't rise after all - but, as Robert explains, there is a more hidden 'tax' on income that will affect millions of British workers and raise billions of pounds.
How will it all affect you, and how will it affect the Prime Minister's job security?
And what was the thinking behind the unusually family-focused video he posted on social media on International Men's Day?
Is it a sign that he's changing his style of leadership? Got a question for the team? Email talkingpolitics@itv.com
