  • 78 - It's Your Party... and You're Not Invited
    Dec 4 2025
    It's the moment we've all been waiting for - the longest party conference season in recent memory finally comes to an end with the "Your Party" conference in Liverpool last weekend. And it was a dramatic one - Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's rocky relationship took another turn as Sultana boycotted the opening day of the conference over what she called a "witchhunt" against her supporters. Nigel and Sarah discuss whether the new party can recover from this chaotic launch, and in other news, also catch up on talk of a future electoral pact between the Conservatives and Reform UK.

  • 77 - Budget reaction: Cheerios and Chancellors
    Nov 26 2025
    It's Budget Day - but is there anything left that hasn't already been leaked? With Nigel soaking up the atmosphere around Westminster and Sarah cheering on the latest farmers' protest, we discuss how the Budget speech went, and whether it is enough to quell opposition on the Labour benches. We also review Kemi Badenoch's response in the chamber, in which she introduced another breakfast cereal reference to compete with Sarah's frequently-mentioned Coco-Pops. Will it soon be Cheerio, Chancellor? Presented by Nigel Fletcher and Sarah Southern Produced by the Centre for Opposition Studies Theme Music by Tom Hector
