  • 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.
