Money in politics is a topic as old as politics itself. With various scandals and politicians in the news about how much money can be donated, as well as the topic of a donations cap currently making rumblings, our hosts take on the subject.
And our new Prime Minister's first conference speech made the rounds, what did he tlak about? Did it offer an insight to the new budget?
Only Chris and Julian have the answers for us!

A Brief History of Joke Candidates in the UK
There was a By-Election this month, but rather give the major candidate air time he was so obviously desperate for, we at the Podcast decided to do something a little different.
Join us this month as we look at the history of joke candidates in this country, from the madness of the Monster Raving Looney Party to the new global sensation in Count Binface.

Our Bindependance Day...And the Greater Manchester By-Election
It's been a month of change here in the UK. A brand new Prime Minister leaving his previous post, thus triggering a By-Election for the Greater Manchester Mayoralty.
