    May 8 2025

    In this special edition of Talking Politics, Robert Peston offers his hot take on the deal to Paul Brand and explains why it matters for exports of steel, cars, food, and more.

    How far can Nigel Farage and Reform rise?
    May 7 2025
    How far could Nigel Farage’s Reform reshape British politics and what would he do if the party ever won power?

    In this episode of Talking Politics, Tom Bradby is joined by Political Editor Robert Peston and Deputy Political Editor Anushka Asthana to discuss the impact of Reform's newfound place ahead in the polls and what the party's recent success at the ballot box says about the current mood of voters.

    Our experts also evaluate whether Farage’s Reform are now the official opposition to Keir Starmer and Labour and if the party could break the traditional third party ceiling to find a route to Downing Street.

    And they also give their verdict on the likelihood of Boris Johnson making a return to frontline politics with questions growing over Kemi Badenoch’s future as Conservative leader.
