As Sir James Cleverly returns to the front bench, Marc Sidwell is joined by City AM’s Alys Denby and writer and academic Andrew Tettenborn to assess what the move signals for the opposition—and whether it can sharpen its message ahead of the next election. Also on the agenda: why the government is reviving the pensions commission, and what it means for the millions quietly undersaving for retirement. And why did green groups turn on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill?  Plus: as the mercury rises, we ask whether Britain’s aversion to air conditioning is a principled stand—or simply a failure of political imagination. From the machinery of Westminster to the cool comforts of modern living, tune in for a clear-eyed look at how policy impacts the real world.
