This week, co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss Rishi Sunak pushing back on a number of green policies, including extending a ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars until 2035. However, some of the other policies he supposedly dropped were... never going to be enacted...

Elsewhere on the show, they discuss the allegations against Russell Brand. All are denied by the actor and comedian, but what does it feel like when someone you like is less than you want them to be? And what was the effect of '90s and '00s culture?

The show finishes with a discussion of Rupert Murdoch's decision to step down and chairman of Newscorp and Fox, with son Lachlan taking the reigns.

This week co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell dissect Labour's new policy on immigration and small boats. Leader Sir Keir Stamer was in the Hague discussing the issue with Europol before making the policy announcement.

They also look at how the government seems to have run out of steam. Key legislation on conversion therapy and renters' rights looks like it will simply evaporate as time has run out. A vacuum is a dangerous place for any government or political party to be.

After a summer break, co-hosts Charlotte Henry and are back together. They discuss Nadine Dorries finally exiting the House of Commons and ULEZ expansion being implemented without the world coming to an end. 

Grant Schapps has got another job too. Following the departure of Ben Wallace, Shapps is now the defence secretary, his fifth cabinet position in a year. By giving him that role, is Rishi Sunak muzzling his best attack dog?

Charlotte Henry sits down with Professor Anand Menon of UK in a Changing Europe to discuss all things Brexit and the UK's relationship with the EU. Where are we now in the process, what do European politicians think about Britain (if anything at all) and how do things move forward seven years after the referendum? Interestingly, not many in UK politics, certainly not in the main national parties, want to talk about Brexit very much at all. They also discuss whether Brits spend too much time following US politics and not enough time worrying about what happens in Europe.

This week, Emma Burnell chats with Rafael Behr. They discuss how having a heart attack at a young age gave the Guardian columnist and author a fresh perspective on life... and politics. Is there a way we can do politics in a less anger-inducing way, something that would be better for us all?

Polly Toynbee is one of the country's best-known left-wing columnists and authors. She has long struggled at balancing this with her privileged middle-class upbringing and ancestry. She explores it all in her latest book "An Uneasy Inheritance". In this conversation with Emma Burnell, she also looks at the role class plays in politics and the country more broadly.

This week we have a chat about a great summer read - "Why is This Lying Bastard Lying to Me?" by Rob Burley. Emma Burnell sits down with the author to discuss his impressive career in political television and why long-form political interviews matter so much. This topic is likely to become even more relevant as we head into a General Election campaign.

As well as the book and Burley's career, they also discuss the responsibilities the public has for improving the public discourse and whether politicians should tell jokes... *shudder*

This summer, House of Comments is interviewing interesting people from across the political spectrum. This week, Charlotte Henry speaks to Dr Mark Pack, president of the Liberal Democrats. They discuss the recent by-election victory in Somerton and Frome, leader Sir Ed Davey and whether the Lib Dems can reclaim third place in the House of Commons.

By-election wins and cringey stuns are all well and good, but, ultimately, the question is - what is the point of the Lib Dems?

Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell dissect the results of three by-elections, all held on the same night. The Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems all won one each. There were different issues at play in each of the seats, but the pincer movement from the opposition parties should be scaring the Tories. Is there any hope for them at the next general election?

The Standards Committee has proposed an eight-week suspension for Conservative MP Chris Pincher for "completely inappropriate" behaviour. It means Rishi Sunak will almost certainly face yet another by-election. Oh, and it all links back to Boris Johnson too...

Sir Keir Starmer made a speech outlining the fifth of his five missions - education. He spoke about the need to promote oracy skills in school, amongst other things. He had some strong words for the Just Stop Oil protestors who continue to disrupt major sporting events too. Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell also debate the respective backgrounds of the leaders of the two main parties.
