Description

How does our system of government work? Why does it sometimes fail? And what can be done to fix it?
Join the IfG podcast team – and political commentator and author Ian Dunt – for a journey through the corridors of power to discover where Westminster goes wrong.
Are MPs doing the job their constituents need – and good government requires? Is No10 really the right building to house the centre of UK government? How much power does a prime minister actually wield? And has the relationship between civil servants and ministers ever been this bad?
All this and more on this week’s wide-ranging, thought-provoking and problem-solving Inside Briefing.
Hannah White presents.
