Jen Bray is Political Editor at The Sunday Times. Her 18-year journalism career includes work with the Irish Times, The Times, the Sunday Tribune and the Irish Daily Mail.

Questions have been raised over whether adding politicians in Australia would improve law-making or just add bureaucracy. Australia's Labor Government is pushing to add 40 members to Parliament before the 2028 election. Nine News chief political editor Charles Croucher says electorates are so large that it's becoming harder for single MPs to represent them. But he says Australia also has layers of Government to consider. "We're already pretty over-governed over here, it's not just the federal Parliament you've got to think about, it's state Parliament."

Sir Keir Starmer's 18 month Premiership has been thrown into crisis as a result of Peter Mandelson's past associations with Jeffrey Epstein. Starmer appointed Mandelson UK Ambassador to Washington and then sacked him in September 2025. Can Starmer survive calls for his resignation ?

Dan Bloom, Political Editor, POLITICO, discusses Peter Mandelson stepping down from the House of Lords due to his links to Jeffrey Epstein.

After a major release of Epstein files by the US Department of Justice, pressure is mounting on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to give evidence to US lawmakers. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged him to cooperate in the interests of Epstein's victims, a move that pushes the controversy far beyond the Palace and into the heart of Westminster. Andrew has now also moved out of Royal Lodge, the grace-and-favour home he occupied for more than two decades, underscoring the scale of the fallout. As Labour peer Peter Mandelson faces the prospect of a police investigation over his past links to Epstein, long-held political conventions are being tested and pressure is building at the very top of government. What do these latest files really reveal, and how damaging could this moment be for Britain's institutions? Caroline Wheeler joins Roya and Kate to unpack the consequences and what could come next.Guest: Caroline Wheeler, Political Editor, The Sunday Times.Image: Getty Hosted on Acast.

Inflation has finally reached the corridors of power. TDs and Senators are now paying more for meals in the Dáil bar and Members' Restaurant, with price hikes on everything from soup and burgers to calamari and lamb. While costs have risen across the menu, prices still undercut most Dublin city eateries — and notably, wine prices have been left untouched. So, is Leinster House feeling the squeeze like everyone else, or is this a reminder of how insulated political life can be?Joining Sean was Craig Hughes, Political Editor of the Irish Daily Mail
