Political Yeti's Political Podcasts

This week's podcast lands a day early as James Millar is joined by SNP MP Neil Gray, the man who convinced Tories to join him in the voting lobbies last week in an effort to strike down benefits cuts, to preview tomorrow's Autumn Statement. The SNP fair work and employment spokesman looks ahead to Philip Hammond's first outing as Chancellor and the pair are joined by friend of the podcast Tony Grew for some fundamental discussions about the meaning of capitalism and the purpose of education. Plus there's a bit of Napoleon Dynamite and SNP leadership speculation.

This week it's back to having three adults around the podcast table and there's some very grown up chat about whether the same forces behind Trump and Brexit are driving the SNP. There's also some silly talk about Status Quo, Bob Marley and Alberto Bonzo. Light and shade. James Millar is joined by SNP rising star Callum McCaig MP and the Press and Journal's Lindsay Razaq, fresh back from the US.

MPs have knocked off for another break. But the podcast doesn't stop. A couple of weeks ago I took the opportunity to interview shadow equalities minister Sarah Champion along with a very special guest - my 8-year-old daughter. Let's face it, we need a bit of sweetness in our politics after the US election and this delivers as Sarah is quizzed about whether Jeremy Corbyn is rubbish, the Labour family and her Dare2Care initiative.

The SNP MP who vanquished Gordon Brown (sort of) joins James Millar to chew over an odd Prime Minister's Questions, explain the details of an SNP crusade against baddies and dispense his usual invaluable fashion advice. Also on today's panel is Tony Grew, expert in all things parliament. He's calmed down a bit since his last explosive turn on the podcast but he's still got strong opinions to share.

So, I wrote a column for The New Statesman in which I suggested Hannah Bardell was on the right of the SNP. She says she's not. So I invited her on the podcast to discuss it. Listen in and make up your own mind as we take each other to task. It's a lengthy listen but there should be something for all sides to think about in it.

James Millar is joined by former Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael and Annabelle Dickson of the Eastern Daily Press to review the latest round of Prime Minister's Questions, talk up the Lib Dem Fightback and discuss what it's like to be on the receiving end of cybernat fury. Find out which Canadian heartthrob Tim Farron most resembles and why Annabelle is the lobby's answer to Nigel Farage.

This week James Millar is joined by one of the most charismatic of the SNP intake, Glasgow South MP Stewart McDonald. Up for discussion is last weekend's SNP conference, a first for the party, a review of the latest Prime Minister's Questions, and a rock band based challenge.

He's been let down by the SNP but James Millar makes the most of it this week as he's joined by old chum Jon Walker of the Birmingham Post and Birmingham Mail to review Prime Minister's Questions, the latest Brexit happenings and "crackin' Keir Starmer"

Immediately after Theresa May comes off stage following her big conference speech James Millar is joined by seasoned political journalist Tony Grew for a spicy conversation about the new Prime Minister and conference season in general. We review the best of the speeches and Tony goes a bit mad about Theresa May.

This week James Millar is joined by James McGrory, spin doctor in chief for the Remain campaign and one time 'Lib Dem Malcolm Tucker'. He talks about the pain of losing the EU referendum and the roles of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn in the result. But he's now leading Open Britain, an organisation aiming to make the case for the EU and retaining the closest possible relationship with Europe once Britain exits the EU.

Between launching a report into pension inequality and marching on Downing Street (where Theresa May isn't) Mhairi Black and Iain Blackford - the SNP's pensions team - find time to join James Millar for a chat about pensions, independence, meeting Brangelina and that stooshie over what words are offensive to the LGBT community.

This week James Millar is joined by SNP big beast Drew Hendry and editor of The Staggers Julia Rampen. Drew tries to explain why the SNP want to leave the UK union but stay in the European union. And Julia gives her verdict on what could be Jeremy Corbyn's last Prime Minister's Questions. Also find out who is the king of canals.

I'm back! Ian Murray MP and the Western Morning News Westminster corr Kate Langston join me, James Millar, to talk about Theresa May's latest turn at Prime Minister's Questions, the state of the Labour party, Brexit, ice cream and crisps
