Plus, how will resident doctor strikes affect the NHS as the flu wave intensifies?

  • Eastern Medicine – China’s plan to control the future of drugs

    Eastern Medicine – China’s plan to control the future of drugs
    2025/12/18
    Not long ago, China’s pandemic response was met with deep scepticism in the West. But fast-forward just a few years, and the picture looks very different. China’s bio-pharma industry is now booming, racing from low-cost manufacturing hub to serious contender in the global battle to create the next blockbuster drugs. China is rolling out vast new pharma facilities capable of producing next-generation medicines at a scale the West is struggling to match. Today on The Bunker, Gavin Esler speaks to the FT’s China Technology Correspondent, Eleanor Olcott, to find out what this means for global drug development, competition, and who controls the future of medicine. 🎄Get 20% off a year’s support for The Bunker until Christmas – whether you’re a new backer, renewing or upgrading. www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Gavin Esler.

  • From outrage to influence – Inside Tommy Robinson’s far right playbook

    From outrage to influence – Inside Tommy Robinson’s far right playbook
    2025/12/17
    For more than a decade, Tommy Robinson has been written off again and again. Yet he keeps re-emerging, reshaped for the moment. From street agitator to convicted criminal to most recently, self-styled Christian crusader. Robinson has followed a familiar far-right playbook: collapse, reinvention, repeat. On The Bunker, Alex von Tunzelmann is joined by journalist Daniel Trilling to examine the staying power of Tommy Robinson and the strategy that keeps bringing him back. We look at the warning signs we missed and what Robinson’s latest reinvention reveals about the durability, adaptability and danger of Britain’s far-right ecosystem. 🎄Get 20% off a year’s support for The Bunker until Christmas – whether you’re a new backer, renewing or upgrading. www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Alex von Tunzelmann.

  • Crisis Management – How we got 25 years of British political chaos

    Crisis Management – How we got 25 years of British political chaos
    2025/12/16
    From 9/11 and the wars that followed to the expenses scandal, the Financial Crash, austerity, Brexit and a carousel of leadership crises, Westminster has spent the last 25 years governing through upheaval. Since 2000, crisis has shifted from disruption to default setting, with governments reacting rather than governing and institutions stretched well beyond their limits. Prof. Andrew Hindmoor, author of Haywire, talks to Zoë Grünewald about how British politics got stuck in crisis mode and what we can do about it. 🎄Get 20% off a year’s support for The Bunker until Christmas – whether you’re a new backer, renewing or upgrading. • Buy Andrew’s book Haywire: A Political History of Britain since 2000 through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

  • The original Trump? How Charles Fox invented personality politics

    The original Trump? How Charles Fox invented personality politics
    2025/12/11
    Personality politics isn’t just a modern problem – it started centuries earlier with an aristocrat called Charles James Fox. You can trace the roots of modern political celebrity back to this 18th-century provocateur, whose charm, scandals and theatrics helped redefine what leadership looked like. Fox built a movement around himself rather than his policies, offering an early blueprint for the dangerous style of politics reshaping democracies today. Alex von Tunzelmann speaks with Dr Callum Smith of Aberystwyth University about Fox’s rise and how history helps us understand the dominance of modern figures like Trump and Farage. 🎄Get 20% off a year’s support for The Bunker until Christmas – whether you’re a new backer, renewing or upgrading. www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Alex von Tunzelmann.
