- Dull and mediocre
Don’t waste your time listening to this. There is so much better out there

You’ve put the same episode up today as last week. Too many egg nogs?
Apple Podcasts5SussexerUnited Kingdom3 months ago - Disappointing
Such a shame, I keep wanting to like the podcast but HH can’t ever see anything wrong with Labour when they are clearly making huge errors. Much as I like Beth, this means I can’t listen any longer
Apple Podcasts1BergerrenntUnited Kingdom3 months ago - Going off it
It’s a good pod, but I’m going off sky and their priorities in terms of reporting. I’m sick of the constant picking at things they wouldn’t do for other parties (in power or not) and fewer deep dives on any actual policy - and hey, I hate a lot of the policies but still.
I don’t think Beths response to Lorna’s question this week on media bias was nearly good enough and was self serving.
Apple Podcasts3Niky_NoodlesUnited Kingdom3 months ago - Lost its sparkle
I’ve listened since this pod started and it was a real go-to for a fresh take on politics. Since Jess Phillips (understandably) had to leave the show it’s definitely gone downhill. Harriet Harman has been a bad choice of replacement, she’s so consistently on message for Labour and DULL, DULL, DULL. Beth does a great job, but not having input from someone actually working in the House of Commons means it’s lost its sparkle.
