David Normington, long‑serving senior civil servant and former Permanent Secretary, gives institutional context. Danny Shaw, former BBC home affairs correspondent and adviser, brings journalistic and policy perspective. Hannah Guerin, former special advisor to Priti Patel, shares insider operational experience. They probe repeated failures, IT and staffing gaps, small boats and Rwanda, policing relations and whether reform or talent fixes can make the department work.
