  • Is Wes Streeting now a shoo-in for Labour leader?
    Nov 14 2025

    UPDATE: We talked again on this episode about speculation that Rachel Reeves was going to raise income tax rates in the budget. Since we recorded, Beth's been told that those plans have been ditched.

    Read her analysis here and we'll discuss what's going on next time.

    ON THIS EPISODE: Wes Streeting had to say he's more Joe Marler than Jonathan Ross after Number 10 started briefing he was plotting to oust Keir Starmer.

    Westminster has been full of Traitors analogies after a chaotic week which ended with the PM apologising to his health secretary.

    Harriet tells Beth and Ruth how it all went down within Labour - and she warns the Faithfuls (as they describe themselves) are getting fed up.

    We also talk again about speculation that Rachel Reeves will raise income tax rates in the budget. Since we recorded, Beth's been told that those plans have been ditched.

    Read more about Beth's story here and we'll discuss what's going on next time.

    Also on this episode: it was a tricky week at the BBC too, after two senior resignations. We discuss how politicians will keep talking about the BBC over the next year.

    Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.

  • Why are prisoners being released by mistake?
    Nov 7 2025

    Who is to blame for two more inmates being wrongly freed from prison? The Conservatives attempted a mic drop moment with David Lammy this week by trying to get the Justice Secretary to admit to it live in the House of Commons.

    So why did Lammy avoid the question five times? And when 262 prisoners were released by mistake in the year to March – how is this happening every week?

    At the very least, Harriet sees the saga as an opportunity for the government to sort out the prison service.

    Plus Beth, Ruth and Harriet are joined by pollster Luke Tryl, and a group of voters who tell us why they’re not convinced by the Prime Minister so far.

    So how tricky is this budget going to be for Rachel Reeves when most people’s top worry is the cost of living? Can she actually put up taxes? And will more people just end up supporting Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski?

    Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.
