Labours shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered the Mis Lecture this week. Did she lay out a progressive programme of economic reform, or has her pragmatism taken her to a place where she is simply promising to be Continuity Jeremy Hunt?
Can Sunak really survive in downing street until the autumn – or is a summer election now inevitable.
Last week Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, tried to restart, reset, reshape the government with his budget. Did it work?
George Galloway stormed to victory in the Rochdale by-election last week. We’ll be asking if Gorgeous George’s return to Parliament is a threat to democracy, to Keir Starmer, or simply a fluke result in the strangest of polls.
Has British politics sunk to an all-time low? Shameful scenes in the commons this week, followed by Islamophobic comments from a senior Conservative MP, and a shambolic by election campaign now in its final ten days in Rochdale- how has it come to this?
Whose ‘double whammy’ was worse? It hasn’t been a great 7 days for either the prime minister or the Keir Starmer. Frank, Jim and guest Kevin Johnson discuss the latest from the world of politics.
The past seven days have not been great for the prime minister nor the leader of the opposition. Rishi Sunak followed up his ill advised bet with Piers Morgan with a truly cringeworthy performance at PMQs
Here’s the latest politics podcast from Frank and Jim. Topics covered include Liz Truss’ political comeback, Labour’s business charm offensive a DIB parliamentary reception review and more.

In the first Downtown Den Politics podcast of 2024, Frank and Jim discuss the post office scandal, another turbulent week for Rishi Sunak and whether Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister.
In the final Downtown Den Politics Podcast of 2023, Frank is joined by Downtown’s U.S. commentator Martin Liptrot.
