Where Politics Meets History

Iain and Tessa dive into Andy Burnham's speech, (Tessa makes a comparison with Winston Churchill!), the death penalty and Christa Pike - and they get a little introspective. Do they argue too much?

Iain and Tessa have a special guest in the first section of the podcast: Tessa's long suffering Mum! They discuss the marching crisis in Portadown, the Republic of Ireland's football match with Israel, the Labour Party conference and a likely election. Plus a spectacular row breaks out over GDP figures!

Iain and Tessa discuss Piers Morgan suing Earl Spencer, Trump vs the media, anti-migration protests... and what Tessa found in her boxes of champagne!

Iain and Tessa talk Ed Sheeran being dragged into politics, King Charles vs Earl Spencer, who's followed Tessa on Twitter and more!

It's Spencer vs Windsor in this week's episode of the pod! With the palace alleging Earl Spencer has been BLINDED by grief, Tess has a different assessment...
Also on the menu: Could Canada join the EU? Is Ed Sheeran in a fuss over nothing? Meghan Markle's whatsapp chats?
Plus Iain and Tessa even manage to make it a whole segment without bickering, isn't that nice. Not to mention the 104 year old woman who spent the night with Tessa, and of course Iain banging on about another speaking engagement or something.
