  • I love it & I don’t know why

    This is the only podcast I always listen to every week. No idea why I find it so enjoyable and interesting. Perhaps because I still cling to a Fabian socialist approach? Or in some ways maybe then tensions of 21st Century democracies are so clearly seen in Britain. Anyway it is very good

  • Too many ‘moderate’ Tories

I am also tired of listening to John ... more

  • Presenter problem

    John Harris is more of a columnist than a journalist and it shows. I am growing tired of having to hear his views dominate every discussion. This is supposed to be the Guardian, and not the John Harris show
