Due to this week's events we will not be releasing an episode.

We would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to David Amess’s family, friends, colleagues, constituents and everyone that knew him. We were shocked and appalled by the news last Friday and saddened by the loss of an MP who truly cared about his constituents.

Brandon and Cathleen reflect on the Labour Conference, its highs and its lows, its significance and our experiences. We also discuss the "Blair & Brown: The New Labour Revolution" documentary and what the next Labour government might look like.
