Hello and welcome to political thinking, a conversation with rather than an interrogation of someone who shaped our political thinking about what has shaped theirs. My guest today was told that he has a reading age ofjust eight. His dyslexia was so bad he had to return to school to study in his 20s for the exams that he simply couldnt pass when he was there the first time. He is now dr peter kyle, a close ally of keir starmer s and the shadow Northern Ireland secretary, who, if labour comes to power, may find himself having to take a very important decision whether there should be another referendum about the future of the uk. This time it would be about whether Northern Ireland should leave and become reunited with the republic. Peter kyle, welcome to political thinking. Thanks, nick.

christopher nolan s oppenheimer in london last night as the strike was declared. the studios say they have made meaningful offers but that s been rejected by those on strike. the guild s president, fran drescher, said the decision by actors to walk out was a moment of truth . we are being victimised by a very greedy entity. i am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us. i cannot believe it, quite frankly. how far apart we are on so many things. how they plead poverty, that they are losing money left and right while giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their ceos. it is disgusting. shame on them. they stand on the wrong side of history at this very moment. the issues in the strike go much deeper thanjust the film industry itself. the screen actors guild wants streaming giants to agree a fairer split of profits and better working conditions. but other demands like protecting actors from being replaced by digital replicas reflect
