This week on The Political Fourcast, another scandal hits the Tories - Mark Menzies MP loses the whip as the Conservative Party investigates claims that he misused campaign funds. He allegedly made a late night call to ask for money to pay off "bad people". He disputes the allegations and senior Tory MPs are telling voters not to rush to judgement. With upcoming local elections and a looming general election, the allegations risk damaging the party in government.   But is today's story just another example in a long line of MPs from all parties flouting the rules? Since 2019, there have been at least 10 cases of Conservative MPs that have either been suspended or quit over allegations of misconduct. Similarly, across the same time period, there have been at least four Labour MPs accused of misconduct, along with one from the SNP and one from Plaid Cymru. This week, we speak to the SNP's deputy leader in the Commons Mhairi Black, who's announced she will stand down at the next election. And former Education Secretary Justine Greening, who had the Tory whip withdrawn after opposing Boris Johnson over Brexit in 2019. They talk to us about mistrust in politics, and why this “jaw dropping” scandal could be a “plague” on politics at large, and confirm what voters think of Westminster's politicians. Produced by Silvia Maresca, Shaheen Sattar, Rob Thomson, Calum Fraser, Nick Jackson.

Stefan Dercon is the author of Gambling on Development, in which he details his theory of the elite bargain framework for development in low-income countries. Stefan is a Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford, and also serves as the Director of the Center for the Study of African Economies. Prior to his current academic posts, he has extensive experience in the world of policy, as the Chief Economist at the Department for International Development and as an advisor to the UK's Foreign Secretary. In our conversation with Stefan in today's show, we get to delve deep into his elite bargain idea, the impact of effective altruism, the need for self-awareness within governments, and how far lessons from certain examples can be applied to other states. We also get to talk about political settlements and how his framework fits into the context of current popular theories and explanations for economic growth. So to catch all this and a whole lot more, be sure to listen in to this great chat with Stefan Dercon! Key Points From This Episode: •   Stefan's perspective on the different skills needed for policy implementation and idea generation. •   The challenges of communicating the need for policy experimentation to politicians. •   Some key ingredients to effective government meetings and common mistakes that Stefan has seen. •   Examples from Stefan of the kind of practical implementations he has seen used well in governance.  •   Stefan shares some examples that underline his book's main thesis about successful development. •   An approach to determining a country's emerging development bargain. •   Our guest unpacks the three conditions for development bargains noted in his book. •   Why a certain model for development cannot be expected to have the same success in a different context. •   The impact that studying Asia later in his career has had on Stefan's frameworks and philosophy. •   Stefan talks about his findings on possible lessons from urbanization in China. •   Issues that Stefan has with the idea and terminology of political settlements. •   Contrasting Stefan's argument with the thesis of Why Nations Fail. •   Suggestions on how to motivate elites to engage and gamble on development.   •   Stefan's personal perspective on economic growth and its role in poverty alleviation.  •   Why meaningful progress is dependent on a certain amount of risk.  •   How Stefan would suggest spending money on growth interventions and lessons from Africa in the 1990s.  •   What the situation in Sri Lanka right now teaches us about investment in people. •   The danger of consolidating authoritarianism in countries such as China and Rwanda. •   How the mobility of a burgeoning middle class can impact the development of a state.  •   Stefan weighs in on the potential scalability problem in a technocracy. •   Some of Stefan's reflections on his time at DFID and its challenges. •   Looking to the horizon with Stefan and his forthcoming projects.     Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/people/stefan-dercon (Stefan Dercon) https://www.gamblingondevelopment.com/ (Gambling on Development) https://twitter.com/gamblingondev (Stefan Dercon on Twitter) https://www.ox.ac.uk/ (University of Oxford) https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development (Department for International Development) https://www.gov.uk/government/people/justine-greening (Justine Greening) https://www.rorystewart.co.uk/ (Rory Stewart) https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/people/paul-collier (Paul Collier)...

Teaching unions have called on the government to urgently expand the free school meals programme in England to include all families who receive Universal Credit. In a letter to ministers, they warn that more than two-and-a-half million children live in households that miss meals or struggle to access healthy food and insist now is the "right moment" to act to mitigate the rising cost of living. The Department for Education says it's expanded access to free school meals more than any other government in recent decades. Today's Mishal Husain speaks to Emma who is mother of three living in Kent. She and her husband both work and are on Universal Credit but are outside the free school meals provision.

Number 23 on this year’s Woman’s Hour Power List is Kate Humble – whose TV career spans 30 years and includes all sorts of programmes covering nature, wildlife and farming. But how important is TV in helping people actually care about the planet? Jane talks to Kate about the best way to connect people with nature, the importance of inspiring the next generation, and the problem she has with the word ‘environment’. Justine Greening was for Secretary of State for International Development for nearly four years under David Cameron, and Minister for Women and Equalities for Theresa May. She joins Jane to give her response to the suggested cuts to International Aid that are expected to be announced next Wednesday. What impact could that decision have on projects supporting some of the most vulnerable groups around the world – women and children? How many houses have you lived in? Does the idea of moving get you all excited, or does it bring you out in hives? Jane Christmas has written a book about the 32 house moves she’s made in 66 years. She joins Jane to discuss this, along with Linda Hill who’s moved just once in 37 years of marriage and has been in her present home for almost 34 years, and Carol who moved 16 times in 25 years, as her husband was in the military. My Life In Shoes. Listener Christina can trace her love of red shoes back to her childhood when she wasn’t allowed the unsuitable crimson shoes she desired. She’s been searching ever since.

"The origin of civil government," wrote the Scottish philosopher David Hume in 1739, is that "men are not able radically to cure, either in themselves or others, that narrowness of soul, which makes them prefer the present to the remote." Today, Hume's view that governments can help societies abandon rampant short-termism and adopt a more long term approach, feels little more than wishful thinking. The "now" commands more and more of our attention - quick fixes are the order of the day. But could that be about to change? Margaret Heffernan asks whether the current pandemic might be the moment we are forced to rediscover our ability to think long term. Could our ability to emerge well from the current health crisis be dependent, in fact, on our ability to improve our long-term thinking? Among those taking part: Paul Polman (Co-founder of Imagine and former CEO of Unilever), General Sir Nick Carter (Chief of the Defence Staff), Justine Greening (former Conservative minister and founder of the Social Mobility Pledge), Lord Gus O'Donnell (former head of the Civil Service), Chris Llewellyn Smith (former Director General of CERN), and Sophie Howe (Future Generations Commissioner for Wales).
