On today's episode of the New Statesman Podcast, Stephen Bush, Anoosh Chakelian and Ailbhe Rea, somewhat reluctantly, give their takes on the explosive revelations from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey. Then, in You Ask Us, they answer your question on why the government keeps setting themselves up for U-turns.
