  • #20 The Sweet Talk of George Osborne

    17/03/2016 Duração: 27min

    The HuffPost UK Politics team take a look at the week in Westminster, which this week was dominated by George Osborne's budget. He may have announced the sugar tax to sweeten the deal, but did it work? And how much was left unsaid by it dominating the news cycle?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #19 Follow the Leader

    09/03/2016 Duração: 29min

    The HuffPost UK politics team take a look at the week within Westminster. This week could be the start of the "Oust Jeremy" campaign within his own party. Do they have the momentum though? On the other side of the House, David Cameron accepted defeat over Sunday trading laws. No one it seems, wants to toe the line.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #18 Problems Beginning with 'P'

    03/03/2016 Duração: 30min

    The HuffPost UK politics team take a look at the week in Westminster. Jeremy Corbyn snubbed his Labour's PLP this week to take a seat in a TV studio, causing a lot of problems for his loyal fans in the shadow cabinet. Prostitution gained a voice in a select committee hearing, as current laws were reviewed to see if they can solve problems with the world's oldest profession and all the while the government tried to pass on the news that we'll have to work "until we're dead". If that doesn't cheer you up, the quiz of the week will.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #17 The Boundaries of Plausability

    25/02/2016 Duração: 26min

    The HuffPost UK politics team look at the week in Westminster that wasn't dominated by EU talk. This week, boundary changes threaten the existence of parliamentary seats, which would suit one party, while an e-petition is used for good for once. Meanwhile, our US cousins push the limits of legitimate candidates.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #14 On the Hunt for the Right Prescription

    11/02/2016 Duração: 30min

    The HuffPost UK politics are back to full strength and looking to determine the right prescription for Westminster this week.

  • #13 EU In or Out?

    04/02/2016 Duração: 31min

    The week of Westminster dissected by the HuffPost UK politics team. This week, EU negotiations dominated the political news, with David Cameron trumpeting his wins. But were they substantial enough? Meanwhile, back in the House, male politicians were carrying on as usual against the rise of the WASPs.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #12 Burying Bad News with Bad News

    28/01/2016 Duração: 26min

    The Huff Post UK politics team take a look at the week's news in Westminster, which saw a lot of bad news coming on top of bad news. George Osborne tweeted of his conquest late Friday night, which didn't look so good in the morning light. We've all been there, right? Iain Duncan-Smith continues to take the hits with a smile and whisper and David Cameron made a remark that deflected attention. Or was it honest?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #11 Vive le Croissant Munchers

    21/01/2016 Duração: 30min

    The HuffPost UK politics team take a look at the week in Westminster, which had one foot in the future and one foot in the past. Trident has given Jeremy Corbyn trouble and the Conservatives a chance to attack while a range of reports looking into the 2015 election explained the obvious. That's was before the MPs started talking drugs.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #10 You Wait for One Rebellion and Three Come Along at Once

    14/01/2016 Duração: 33min

    The HuffPost UK politics team take on another week in Westminster, this time without Owen Bennett but instead joined by Lucy Sherriff. This week, rebellion is in the air as some Conservative MPs head for Brexit, Labour risk a Corbyn missile crisis and Junior Doctors put down the stethoscopes for the first strike in over 40 years.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #9 Shuffling Through the Shadows

    07/01/2016 Duração: 22min

    The Huff Post UK Politics team charge into the New Year, yawning their way through a shadow cabinet reshuffle and non-excuses from government over flood defenses. It's good to see 2016 hasn't brought change to Westminster.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #8 An Agreeable Climate

    17/12/2015 Duração: 25min

    The Huff Post UK politics team take a swipe at the week's news, which this week included an historic agreement on climate change. Will David Cameron's attempts at EU change be as successful? And who was the winner and loser of 2015?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #7 If You're Old Enough for a Sunbed, You're Old Enough to Vote

    10/12/2015 Duração: 23min

  • #6 A War On Many Fronts

    03/12/2015 Duração: 24min

    The Huff Post UK Politics team take a look at the week in Westminster, which was dominated by the 10hr debate on Wednesday about whether UK air strikes should extend from Iraq into Syria to wipe ISIS out. The debate stirred strong emotions and has led the Labour party to once again look rudderless and divided, which is just what you need before a by-election.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #5 The Conservatives Are for Turning

    26/11/2015 Duração: 24min

    The Huff Post UK politics team take a look at the week in Westminster, which was dominated by George Osborne and his autumn statement. In a much-welcomed U-turn he ditched tax credits, but continued to play his game of brinksmanship with the opposition benches on what they should and shouldn't say. John McDonnell did something he definitely, probably, shouldn't have done. Meanwhile, support for bombing Syria and ISIL is growing on both sides of the Commons.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #4 I Meant What I Said, Unless I Didn't

    19/11/2015 Duração: 26min

    The Huff Post UK Politics team take a look at the week that was in Westminster, which was obviously dominated by the attacks on Paris. As France bombs ISIS-held parts of Syria, Jeremy Corbyn said yes and no to "shoot to kill" policy on British streets. He wasn't the only one backtracking, with Ken Livingstone sort of apologising for controversial remarks. Meanwhile, can George Osborne jump through his own hoops next week?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #3 Dave vs Dave vs Gordon vs Everyone

    12/11/2015 Duração: 24min

    The Huffington Post UK politics team take a weekly look at Westminster. This week, Simon Burns worries about the ridicule that would follow if they allowed breast feeding in the Commons, oblivious to the ridicule by saying that. David Cameron's letter writing makes him look, well...and Philip Hammond wants more trade deals involving arms. March of the Makers takes a dark new twist.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #2 They Are Coming for Your History

    05/11/2015 Duração: 26min

    The Huffington Post UK Politics team take a look at the week in Westminster. This week, the Snoopers Charter unveiled by Theresa May had Ned Simons worried, students protested for the hell of it and an Oldham byelection could be the making or, if not breaking, bending of Jeremy Corbyn.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  • #1 The 'T' Word

    29/10/2015 Duração: 26min

    The Huff Post UK Politics team discuss the week in Westminster. This week, the government saw their first defeat over tax credits, when the House of Lords rejected the proposals. This of course was met with decorum and rational discussion. Does it also down George Osborne's chances to lead? Also, MPs struggle to say the word tampon.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
