Worth a listen

Even without Helen Lewis. Andrew Marr alone is worth the price of admission.
A bit uneven on the Rochdale outcome

Regular longtime listener. Always appreciate your analysis, though this episode betrayed the over reliance on “Westminster Bubble” armchair chat.
Generally good

But whenever the subject of the Cass report comes up, the New Statesman fails to include any trans voices or perspectives. The recent interview with Cass and its writeup by Hannah Barnes fawn over her and the report uncritically rather than making any attempt to challenge the report’s many and numerous shortcomings — well documented by other journalists like Owen Jones and Freddy McConnell. Serious, evidence-based criticisms are swatted away without engagement. The New Statesman advances harmful transphobia guised as medical science, and in spite of its otherwise-interesting political coverage, I can’t support it anymore.
way too much sponsored content

the introduction of podcasts paid for by large corporations where the vested interests are obvious (on smoking, by philip morris, on pharmaceuticals, by daiichi sankyo, on trade unions, by uber) is a very strange decision. a shadow of what it was under stephen bush, used to be one of the most incisive and insightful political podcasts in britain
