In this week's podcast, the Tes FE team – Julia Belgutay and Kate Parker – talk about the fortnight's biggest stories.

They listen back to an House of Commons exchange between skills and apprenticeships minister Gillian Keegan, and the shadow minister Toby Perkins on the adult education clawback, as well as discuss exclusive analysis on the colleges who have gone more than 10 years without an Ofsted inspection.

They are also joined by Ruth Silver, former college principal and former president of Further Education Trust for Leadership (FETL), who reflects on leadership as FETL closes after eight years.
