  • When new tribes go to war – Who are Britain’s new political groupings?
    Are you a progressive activist or a dissenting disruptor? These are two ends of a new group of political tribes identified by More in Common, in a report called Shattered Britain: Making sense of what Britons want in a country that feels broken. Luke Tryl, one of its authors and the UK director of More in Common, joins Alex von Tunzelmann to discuss how these groups have formed, how they move around, and what they mean for the shape and future of Britain’s politics.  • We are sponsored by Indeed.

  • Labour and A.I. – Does Starmer know what he’s on about?
    AI is everywhere — writing emails, diagnosing illness, even offering therapy. And politicians are now obsessed with it, too. But is Starmer right to be so invested in it? Can it really fix everything, or are we asking too much? Today, Chris Jones sits down with Professor Kate Devlin, Chair-Director of the Digital Futures Institute, to break down what AI is actually good at, where it’s overhyped, and why your AI therapist may not be the best person to talk to about your feelings.  • We are sponsored by Indeed.

  • China crisis – Is Xi Jinping going to step down?
    Xi Jinping can, technically, be China’s leader for the rest of his life. But, speculation has mounted that he might be stepping down from power. Is this justified? And if not, how does Xi keep such a tough grip on power? Jacob Jarvis discusses with Kerry Brown, professor of Chinese Studies and director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College and the author of several books about China and Xi Jinping, including Xi: A Study in Power.  Buy Xi: A study in power through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund The Bunker by earning us a small commission for every sale.

  • From Trump to Europe – Who can Ukraine really rely on?
    As Ukraine fights to hold the line against Russian advances, Western support is starting to look shaky. With Putin’s war machine grinding on and Europe watching nervously, we ask: is the US still committed to Ukraine’s survival? Today, Chris Jones is joined by Keir Giles, Senior Consulting Fellow at Chatham House and author of Russia’s War on Everybody, to unpack what’s happening on the battlefield, what Trump’s statements mean for Ukraine and who Ukraine can rely on.  • We are sponsored by Indeed.

  • There may be trouble ahead — Start Your Week with Alex von Tunzelmann and Jacob Jarvis
    Starmer’s friendly hang out with Macron feels a long time ago now and the reality of trying to make his deal “work” now looms. Alex von Tunzelmann joins Jacob Jarvis to discuss how implementing it might play out, plus they discuss union clashes, a Trump state visit and more crazy conspiracy news from the United States.  We are sponsored by Indeed.
