In this episode of The Select Committee, we unpack Budget 2026 and ask whether an earlier surplus, tighter spending, and new defence funding help the Government look like a safe pair of hands heading into the election.
We then turn to Mike Smith’s climate case against major emitters and the Government’s plan to respond with legislation, asking whether Parliament is protecting legal certainty or interfering with a case already before the courts.
We wrap the show with our favourite segment, Fantasy Beehive, where we rank MP performance using our highly advanced, completely proprietary technology.
