    Review of the political year
    Dec 23 2021
    In the final episode of the All Out Politics podcast, Adam Boulton and guests review the political year of 2021.

    It was a 12 months dominated once again by the coronavirus pandemic but punctuated by Brexit, allegations of sleaze and questions about leadership.

    Joining Adam are The Times columnist and former Conservative MP Matthew Parris,
    The New Statesman's deputy online editor Rachel Cunliffe and Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig.

    They will each pick their 'person' and 'moment' of the year and make a prediction for what lies ahead in 2022.

  • North Shropshire shock and Covid tensions

    North Shropshire shock and Covid tensions
    Dec 17 2021
    Adam Boulton and guests assess a stunning by-election defeat for the Conservatives in North Shropshire as the Liberal Democrats overturn a 23 thousand majority - with a 24% swing - and pile more pressure on Boris Johnson.

    They examine the impact of that result and what it means for the Prime Minister's leadership after a series of stories about sleaze and Downing Street parties.

    The panel also discuss the latest tensions between politicians and medical professionals over what to do about the Omicron variant of coronavirus and give their views on which leader should be most optimistic going into 2022.

    Joining Adam this week are the deputy political editor of the Daily Telegraph Lucy Fisher, the former press secretary to Paddy Ashdown Jo Phillips and Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig.

  • One rule for them...?

    One rule for them...?
    Dec 9 2021
    Is it one rule for them and another for us?
    Adam Boulton and guests assess an uncomfortable week for the Prime Minister after claims of a Christmas Party in 10 Downing Street last year - at the same time as the country was living with Covid restrictions.
    There followed a series of denials that a party took place before video footage emerged showing Downing Street officials joking about said alleged party.
    The panel also discuss the government's decision to introduce Covid 'Plan B' measures in England and a final thought on whether Boris Johnson will lead the Conservatives at the next election.
    Joining Adam this week are the assistant comment Editor at the Daily Telegraph Olivia Utley, the associate editor of the Daily Mirror Kevin Maguire, the former Conservative minister David Gauke
    and Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig.
