| 10/17/26 |  The Two Matts Q&A: Palestine Action lunacy and made up words | The Matts answer listener questions in this, their regular Sunday morning Q&A episode, including: is Marie Le Pen bad news for the UK? Why is Sally Rooney not selling books here any more? Will standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine actually help? Should Elon Musk be allowed such power?

| 10/15/26 |  Putin's the big winner in Trump's betrayal | The Matts discuss the developments in Ukraine in the past week and Donald Trump's oil deal with Vladimir Putin. Connected much? They think so. It adds up to a ghastly - but all too predictable - betrayal of Ukraine at its hour of deepest need. Also - the potential spectacle of a live streamed execution in America. What does that tell us about the Trump mindset.. and what's become of our species in general?Produced by Matt WithersGet a FREE SIGNED COPY of Alastair Campbell's new book when you subscribe to The New World.

| 10/8/26 |  A disaster for the Green Party | The Matts discuss the impact of the Green Party resolution that “Zionism Is Racism”. Will Zack Polanski survive as leader? What does it mean for Jews living in the UK? What does it mean for the party's supposed core eco agenda? Also this week: what's the story behind Kemi Badenoch's conference speech?

| 10/1/26 |  48 hours after THAT speech… how many marks out of 10? | The Matts give a considered analysis of Andy Burnham’s conference speech. So much to talk about and so many obvious strong points - but where will the testing moments come from? They go deep into the policies he announced and try to put together the evidence for a big plan - and rate his chances of pulling it off.

| 9/24/26 |  A lot of Andy Burnham and a bit of Hitler | The Matts discuss Andy Burnham's speech to the United Nations - and what it tells us about both the opportunities and challenges facing the new PM and Britain as we seek to rediscover our place in the world 10 years after Brexit.

| 9/17/26 |  Is AI really coming to eat us all... and how do we stop it? | The Matts open with a heartfelt tribute to the late, great Bonnie Greer, who died this week. In the first half they discuss the extraordinary pace of developments and concern around AI, explain exactly what has happened and why everyone really should be very worried indeed. In part two, they reject the outright demonisation of the citizens of Piddington, the small Oxfordshire village which held a referendum declaring independence from the UK in the face of an influx of asylum seekers to a barracks nearby.

| 7/30/26 |  Burnham’s flying start... but is he also fibbing? | The Matts appreciate the velocity of action in Andy Burnham’s first days as PM. And the big intention to fix social care is of enormous consequence. But it also makes them wonder if Burnham is being completely open about the possibility of an early election.

| 7/25/26 |  The Two Matts Q&A: Why tell ourselves lies about prison time? And what do we miss about the 70s? | The Matts answer listener questions including: Has Andy Burnham made a mistake appointing so many loyalists? Why aren’t the courts more honest about what time prisoners will actually serve? What do the Matts miss about the 70s? Should Gianni Infantino run the United Nations? Are generation gaps a real thing? And what can you recommend to someone who has zero interest in The Odyssey? Enjoy!Produced by Matt WithersOFFER: Get The New World for just £1 for the first month.

| 7/23/26 |  What is it about the prospect of a Reform government they don’t get? | The Matts dig into the reaction to Andy Burnham’s first few days in government. Obviously the usual suspects - such as the Daily Mail and GB News - have already declared it a failure. But one column by Janan Ganesh in the Financial Times stands out as an utterly miserable misreading of the reality of where British politics is. Is the biggest problem Burnham faces a hostile right wing media, or is it liberals who don’t fully grasp the consequences of him failing? And what is required to avoid that?
