In this episode, we dive into the debate around lowering the voting age. From the impact of young voices on democracy to the arguments about maturity and civic responsibility, we unpack why some believe it’s time to give teenagers a say—and why others aren’t convinced. Join us as we explore research, real-world examples, and perspectives from both sides of the aisle to answer one question: are we underestimating the political power of the next generation?
In this week’s Front Page Face-Off, we explore the Royal Estate’s financial success with the King set to receive £132 million in profit.
In the rant room, we talk about one of Nigel Farage’s recent TV appearances where he discusses water quality issues and his work in local councils (or lack there of).
