On today's episode of the New Statesman Podcast, Stephen Bush, Anoosh Chakelian and Ailbhe Rea bring out the tinsel and baubles to discuss Christmas (and how the government has got itself into a policy muddle that is risking thousands of lives)! Then, in You Ask Us, they look at the latest phase of the Grenfell inquiry.
