 We chatted about the weeks events in politics, including:
  • 2 Liberal Democrat MPs voted against the VAT rise in the budget, could we be seeing trouble within the government, or is this just far for the course in a coalition?
  • Labour Leadership candidate Diane Abbot had an ‘absolute meltdown’ on the This Week sofa at the hands of Andrew Neil. What was she thinking?
  • This week sees a cabinet meeting taking place in Bradford. We ask whether cabinet meetings should be sent around the country, or if that’s just a waste of money
  • Freelance photographer Jules Mattsson claims he was harassed and mistreated by policemen who seized his camera and pushed him down some stairs.
