Join us every week for a refreshing pint of satire as we navigate the world of politics. At Cheshire Matters, we're not afraid to tackle the tough issues, like why the neighbour's cat is running for mayor, or is the local coffee shop secretly controlling Parliament.So pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and join our band of pub-goers as we laugh, cry, and rage at the absurdity of it all, where the news is serious and satire is always on tap.
