    Is this the end of MPs presenting TV shows?
    Sep 13 2024
    With the winter fuel allowance vote passing in the House of Commons, Beth, Harriet and Ruth discuss the row and government’s approach to dealing with the unpopular policy.

    They also look at MPs who have second jobs presenting TV shows (or podcasts) and what sort of extra work or broadcast appearances they should, or shouldn’t, be paid for.

    Plus, with both Harriet and Ruth now in the House of Lords, they discuss how the unelected chamber could be modernised, and if it should even exist.

upbeat commentary

I listen to lots of political pods and this is one of my favourites. Female voices on a range of serious topics, down to earth, interesting and humorous. Doesn't take itself too seriously.

no mansplaining

This podcast has settled in to be excellent: incisive and down to earth. A refreshing change from the mansplaining of other political podcasts.

Boring

Someone has got to create wealth and jobs - you would not having fun podcasting if it was all about anti-business Labour …. So your pro-labour it’s best sucks. End!
