About this episode
The prime minister’s official residence is crumbling. Has been for years. There’s talk of potentially fixing or replacing it after a lot of political debate about it.
But is there actually the will in this country to replace it? And how much would it cost?
Independent journalist Tom Spears joins the show to discuss the problems plaguing the nearly 160-year-old home, the potential bill for the taxpayer, and why there seems to be little political desire to do anything about the property.
