- Best political podcast
Love this podcast. Harriet Harman is the best PM we never had. Insightful analysis, no posturing, and humorous. Delighted to hear about the new club (you’re underselling yourselves compared to other podcasts). Will sign up for a year as soon as I see the link.
Go ladies!

United Kingdom17 days ago - Dysfunctional Pod
What once was a great pod, now looks a shadow of itself.
Three wise and fabulous women, looking around the Westminster Village and scraping the barrel.
Little understanding of the wider world and minimal focus on big issues that matter to real people. This is now a pod of gossip and he said / she said in the village.
The endless talk of Starmer’s back office is tedious and this is the third pod on the trot I’ve switched off from. Davison has become a party line Tory, rather than the astute f... more
Apple Podcasts2Shep AhoyUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Excellent Listen
Insightful, intelligent and an interesting balance of views. I really enjoy political podcasts where members of different parties can agreeably disagree. Beth brings balance, wit and a great look behind the scenes of politics and Harriet and Ruth are both equally intelligent and articulate women. I may not agree with everything they each say, but surely that’s the whole point. Keep up the great work.
