We chatted about:

• Gordon Brown has been accused of bullying civil servants by Andrew Rawnsley. Do we believe Rawnsley’s accusations, and has the ensuing political battle been necessary, or has it diminished everybody involved?
• Bloggers may be able to apply for lobby passes previously only available to professional journalists – but do bloggers need or even want them?
• Sir Nicholas Winterton’s ill-advised remarks about first class train fares have caused the Tory party some discomfort over the past week – has he let slip that the Tories haven’t changed as much as they say they have?
• Finally, Mark is standing in a council by-election this week – we wish him luck

We’re going to try and have a new episode every week whenever possible (sadly, next week will not be possible), so you can subscribe using iTunes by clicking here, or using the RSS reader of your choice here.

This week we’re joined by blogging luminary Iain Dale to talk about:

• What can the first post-conference polls tell us about how the next election may work out?
• Are we happy with the way blogs have reacted to the news that Gordon Brown has retinal tears on his one remaining good eye?
• Should we care that a director of low-tax pressure group Tax Payers’ Alliance doesn’t actually pay UK tax?
• David Cameron is has suggested that former Chief of the General Staff General Sir Richard Dannatt may join his cabinet. Is that wise?
