The Bigger Picture: Justice Secretary & Leave campaigner Michael Gove speaking to Share Radio ahead of the EU Referendum (REPLAY)
With Simon Rose taking a well-earned break and with continuing debate swirling around the merits of Brexit, we bring you one of our interviews recorded at a critical point, with just a week to go until the public voted in what was the most important 'once in a generation' referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union. Juliette Foster, then host of Investment Perspectives, was joined on the line by the then Secretary of State for Justice and prominent Leave campaigner, Michael Gove, who is now Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Minister for Intergovernmental Relations.

The Bigger Picture: Labour's Scottish opportunity, are railways doomed & is cash on the way out
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University discusses whether Nicola Sturgeon's resignation presents Labour with the opportunity to restore its power north of the border while support diminishes for independence. Sixty years after Beeching's axe fell on the railways, are the railways dying all over again? And with cash being used less with every year and some bank branches not even accepting it, is the cashless society almost with us and what might it mean?

The Bigger Picture: Macron & pensions, what role for UK unions & Sunak's reshuffle
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University explains to Simon Rose why, if Emmanuel Macron can't raise France's retirement age, Europe's fiscal union could be doomed. He ponders what the role is now for the UK's trade unions in a new age of industrial action. And he marvels at the enormous yawn factor of Rishi Sunak's cabinet reshuffle. With Volodymyr Zelensky's UK visit showing up our own politicians, he wonders why we no longer seem to have great Parliamentarians.

The Bigger Picture: Sturgeon's resignation, Starmer's Corbyn ban & a possible NI Protocol deal
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at the ramifications of Nicola Sturgeon's surprise resignation as Scottish First Minister, speculating what might happen now and whether this will be seen as a great opportunity for the Labour Party. He explains why he thinks that Keir Starmer's decision to ban Jeremy Corbyn from running as a Labour candidate is not a smart decision. And he crosses his fingers that there is a possible NI Protocol deal in the offing.

The Bigger Picture: Sunak & Starmer's New Year's Messages & Will Boris Make a Comeback?
Politicial commentator Mike Indian analyses the New Year's addresses of Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer. Will the PM be able to deliver on his 5 pledges? Is Starmer being ambitious enough, channelling the likes not just of Blair, but also Wilson and Callaghan? With the May elections expected to give the Conservatives a massive drubbing, could Boris Johnson yet make a comeback as leader?

The Bigger Picture: UK Is Becoming Poor, War On The Rich Is Disastrous & NHS In Permacrisis
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University says that we must face the fact that Britain is going the way of Argentina and becoming a poor country. The war on the ultra-rich, he points out, will spell disaster for the UK's public finances. And it is surely time we recognised that the NHS is in a state of permanent crisis and that a Royal Commission should be set up to find a solution.

The Bigger Picture: Where is Brexit's golden age, 200 years of housing trends & 100 years of the BBC
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University wonders where and what are the benefits of Brexit, three years after the UK left the European Union. He looks at a fascinating set of numbers analysing housing trends over the past two hundred years. And, 100 years since the founding of the BBC, he explains why he admires the BBC, despite – or because of – its ability to irritate all sides equally at once.

The Bigger Picture: Why Rishi Sunak needs to be more ruthless
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at the political lie of the land after Rishi Sunak's first 100 days as Prime Minister. While believing he did the right thing when it came to Nadhim Zahawi, Mike feels that the Prime Minister needs to show more ruthlessness when it comes to his own party. As for the country as a whole, the current batch of strikes simply feed into the picture that nothing in Britain is working as it should.
