Political news, discussions & analysis. Guests include Dr Anthony Ridge-Newman - who is the Convenor of the Political Studies Association Conservatism Studies Group and the Founding Chair of the Tory Research Impact Network - alongside veteran political journalist Nick Jones on what's next in terms of Brexit discussions and the leadership of the Conservative Party. There's the latest on the men and women on hunger strike since December over the prison conditions of Kurdish leader Abdullah 脰calan. We hear from Plaid Cymru AM Delyth Jewell, who is in contact with a protester in Wales, and Professor Ryszard Piotrowicz of Aberystwyth University who is a consultant to the Council of Europe. What are the prospects for peace and a return to the devolved government in Northern Ireland? We hear Labour's Lord Paul Murphy, who was a former Northern Ireland and Welsh Secretary. And there's also a chance to consider what's happening on the other side of the globe in the Australian elections, plus a look at the papers closer to home with guest reviewers Prof Tom Crick MBE & Cathy Madge who works for the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
