Miscellaneous
On this week’s programme, presented by Sophy Ridge - Theresa May is set to announce a crack-down on executive pay this week, as part of her pledge to restore public trust in big businesses. To discuss this, and also to reflect on the Chancellor Philip Hammond's first Autumn statement last week, we hear from the Work and Pensions Secretary, Damian Green MP and from the Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell MP. With the launch of a new book ‘Born a Crime’ about growing up in Apartheid South Africa, Trevor Noah spoke to Sophy about his new role hosting American TV programme ‘The Daily Show’ and what he makes of President-elect Trump, the man he once described as the ‘perfect African President’. Next week we will see the result of the by-election in Richmond, sparked by MP Zac Goldsmith. Sophy caught up with Mr. Goldsmith now running as an independent candidate. And, as always, we hear from a team of top political pundits - Sebastian Payne, lead politics writer at the Financial Times; Ayesha Hazarika, former adviser to Ed Miliband and Harriet Harman; and Kevin Schofield, political editor of Politics Home. All on this week's Murnaghan podcast!
