  • Good concept but could be better

    This podcast would be much better if the “founder Tatton” took a backseat role and left Diane and Charlotte to do the talking. He is what is loosing listeners. Quite irritating.

  • Tatton’s bias is very obvious.

    I appreciated the SP posts on FB during Covid that broke down changes and news. Since the move back to normal politics it is nowhere near as impartial. Tatton makes it very obvious that he is a Tory.

Simple Nandos
Q: Why did Jeremy Corbyn react to Keir Starmer's conference speech as if he had resigned?
He's suggesting Starmer is checked out and not taking his leadership role seriously, using a historical analogy about a past Labour manifesto.
Simple Nandos
Q: How will Labour enforce the digital ID?
We don't know yet, right? They haven't given any details. It's been announced as a thing they're looking at.
Simple Davey
Q: Can I do work experience in the Houses of Parliament?
Yes, you can contact your MP for work experience opportunities, as many MPs offer this for students.
Simple Davey
Q: Why is the government so anti-immigration when we clearly need immigrants?
The government is tightening immigration rules, particularly among dependents of students, but generally needs immigration for various sectors like the NHS.
Simple Davey
Q: Is there a chance of a no confidence motion in Prime Minister Keir Starmer?
No, the Labour Party does not have a process for getting rid of their leader in the same way as the Conservatives do.
