7: What's News?

This current affairs podcast tries to unpick all things British politics over the last couple of weeks. With an analysis of parliamentary affairs, major political events, media headlines and viral moments - we aim to make sense of this tumultuous time in politics. In this episode, we follow up on the headlines from the last two weeks. The Budget was a key story last week, and we discuss the key points raised and some questions that arise from the announcement. We quickly mention some updates on the Windsor Framework, which isn’t looking good for the government. We also discuss the illegal migration bill and the busy few days at the BBC following Gary Lineker’s tweet on the matter. In this discussion we consider the difficulties surrounding the impartiality rules at the BBC. We finish by considering Boris Johnson’s defence dossier regarding the lockdown parties, and discuss the effects that this could have for the Conservative party going forward.If you have any questions, feedback or an idea to propose, please get in touch!Produced and Hosted by Nikhita Nachiappan (Twitter @nikhita.nachi) and Saskia Soden (Twitter @saskia_soden)Edited by Saskia Soden Cover Art by Nikhita Nachiappan via LogoMusic by penguinmusic via Pixabay
