About this episode

As Israel’s siege of Gaza continues, the UN has warned that Gaza is in a ‘dire situation’. Joining us in the studio is the writer and comedian, David Baddiel, who talks about what the past week has been like for British Jews.

Following the end of their party conference, Pat McFadden, who’s in charge of Labour’s electoral strategy, also stops by to talk to us about the party’s game plan ahead of the next general election.

And, Amol Rajan and Nick Robinson join Adam to talk about their latest episode of The Today Podcast, in which they discuss the complexities of covering the Israel-Gaza War, as well as some of their own disagreements.
