This week on the podcast that takes you inside the way that government works and sometimes doesn’t..
The IfG team are joined by David Allen Green to discuss whether the general election will resolve all the constitutional chaos of the last few years? And just how difficult would it be told a second referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU?
A new prime minister might be tempted to redesign Whitehall and announce plans for some brand new government departments. But is that a sensible thing to do? A new IfG report has the answers.
And we speak to former cabinet secretary Gus O’Donnell about the challenges of forming coalition governments and the for politicians to respect the rules and tell the truth.
Plus: Why is 120 the number of the week? Who knows more about the shortest-serving prime minister in British history?
Hosted by Bronwen Maddox with Cath Haddon and Maddy Thimont Jack plus David Allen Green, Tim Durrant and Gavin Freeguard. Audio production by Alex Rees.
