For the last programme of the year, Ben Wright is joined by the Skills Minister, Baroness Jacqui Smith; Conservative backbencher George Freeman; and the historian and political biographer, Sir Anthony Seldon. They assess Sir Keir Starmer's first five months in office, and some of the domestic and international challenges lying ahead for the government in 2025. The deputy political editor of The Guardian, Jessica Elgot, brings additional insight and analysis. The programme also includes an interview with Dame Meg Hillier - Chair of the Commons Liaison Committee - as it prepares to grill the Prime Minister on his plans and policies.
