Bill speaks with former British government minister The Rt Hon Alistair Burt about one of the most turbulent periods in modern UK politics. With Nigel Farage and Reform UK reshaping the political landscape, a change of Prime Minister, and fresh questions about Britain's future at home and abroad, Alistair offers a unique insider's perspective after more than three decades in Westminster. Together they discuss the rise of populist politics, the challenges facing Britain's next leader, the state of democracy, ongoing international conflicts, and what these changes could mean for Australia's long-standing relationship with the United Kingdom.
