    How can the UK protect its Critical National Infrastructure from cyberattacks?

    14/07/2026 | 22 min
    Cyberattacks on the UK’s critical national infrastructure are becoming faster and more sophisticated.

    What will it take to protect the systems and services that keep the country running?

    Host Zoë Grünewald is joined by Matt Western MP, Chair of the Joint Committee on National Security Strategy, and Chris Parker, Director of Government Strategy at Fortinet UK.

    Our panel discusses how ransomware, hostile state actors and AI-enabled attacks are changing the threat landscape facing the UK’s critical national infrastructure, as well as where regulation and governance may need to go further.

    They talk about the risks posed by legacy systems and cyber skills shortages, what effective resilience looks like in practice, and why closer cooperation between government and industry matters.

    This New Statesman podcast episode is sponsored by Fortinet.

    "Startlingly transactional" – Burnham prepares for power

    02/07/2026 | 53 min
    Andy Burnham is preparing for power – which means horsetrading, negotiations and planning.

    Ailbhe Rea has been speaking to MPs and advisors inside the Labour party to find out what's really happening in Team Burnham, who's in line for the top jobs, and why some Labour MPs are giving Burnham "the ick".

    Plus: Reform say Nigel Farage is having a great time. Other sources say he’s struggling. What’s going on inside the “unofficial opposition”?

    Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Tom McTague and Ailbhe Rea.
