- 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

United Kingdoma month 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.

Apple Podcasts1George AgdgdgdwangoUnited Kingdom3 months ago - Missing the actual news
Used to love this podcast. Unfortunately they have now got so focussed on bashing Starmer they are missing the actual news. Last week it was all about Mandelson (albeit nothing new on this since September) in the middle of the second week of the Iran war. With a promise to discuss the war this week. This week however was all about Labour leader speculation and the Iran war was only mentioned as a hammer to hit Starmer even suggesting we should agree with Trump’s comments! Even on the domestic f... more
