Julia sits down for her first podcast of the year. It's been a crazy, hectic and emotional beginning to the new year and decade but if you're at all confused by anything that's been going on this is the perfect episode for you. Julia goes through the Australian bushfires and how you can help, the current situation between the US and Iran and the race for the next leader of the Labour party.

A listener asked ‘what’s in place to stop politicians lying?’ So Julia brought in Marcus Ball for a chat... he’s the guy who is literally prosecuting Boris Johnson for lying.

 Marcus’s views are not reflected by Julia or the Breakdown team, but we like informal conversations here so don’t be surprised if you hear laughing! 

Make sure you're following Julia on Instagram @juliabelle_x and keep updated on Marcus' case @marcusjball on Twitter.

The results are in so Jules goes through what's happened in the last 24 hours or so here in the UK. Just to note, St Ives have now declared their result (Conservative) as they took a wee while longer than the rest of the country. Please do get in touch on Instagram with any questions you have @juliabelle_x on Instagram. 

In this episode, Jules is going to run you through her very own blind test using the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrats manifestos BUT without telling you who is who until the end and not necessarily in that order! This way, you can listen without your judgement being clouded by the party name. 

It's slightly longer this week but bear with us! Hopefully you can focus more on what their proposed policies are to help you make a decision on who you want to vote for on the 12th December.

Remember to follow Jules @juliabelle_x on Instagram and drop over any questions you have!

This week is a slightly longer episode than usual but only because Julia takes time to chat about each of the four party leaders who have been featuring heavily in the press. It is also worth noting that this was recorded before the Conservatives released their manifesto so this is now available to be read.

If you'd like to skip over some bits, the time stamps for each leader are as follows: 

8:56mins - Boris Johnson, Conservative leader (and Prime Minister)
19:49mins - Jeremy Corbyn, Labour leader 
36:18mins - Jo Swinson, Liberal Democrat leader
42:28mins - Nicola Sturgeon SNP leader (and first minister of Scotland)

Please do send any questions in to @juliabelle_x on Instagram!
