The Bylines Network Podcast

Back from recess, much like our MPs, and we are thankful nothing controverisal that warrented discussion happened since then.

All the major parties have had their conferences and all gave off different vibes as they all look to the future and what the next steps are.

The first bills will be passing through parliment as well, by the reports, the Renter's Bill and Better Bus Bill will be amongst the first.

Here's all our thoughts on all of that and more in this month's episode.

Back to our regularly scheduled episodes now, we take a look at the new King's Speech, the first made by a new party in power since 2010.

In it, 40 bills were announced, 35 new laws and 5 new draft laws, showing Labour's proirities in getting the ball rolling when it comes to the task his party now has.

Julian and Chris go over the highlights of these new laws, what they liked, what they didn't like and what was missing.

Recorded 1 week after the General Election.

The much anticipated General Election came and went with a result that many saw coming.

Now what?

We reunite Ronnie Barbour and Ethan Jones from our previous episodes to discuss the results in England, Scotland, Wales, with a special guest Megan to talk about the results in Northern Ireland.

We talk about results that interested us, what they mean for their respective parties and what the future has in store for the UK.

In our last episode of our miniseries, Election Fever, we look at the bookies' favourites to ask the King's permission to form a Government on 5th July, The Labour Party.

In this episode we voice our frustrations, our hopes, Labour's policies and our feelings on Sir Keir Starmer.

Thank you all so much for giving so much support to our little miniseries, there will be no Big episode this month as our editor is tired but join us again in July for our bukper disscussions about the results.

We're in the Endgame now.

This week, we take a look at the incumbant Party, their chances and their polls numbers and we ask the question if this will all lead to another 5 years of Tory Rule.

No prizes for guessing the answer I'm afriad but we take a look to after the election too, to see if a loss could actually lead to a fight for the heart of British Conversivatism itself.

It's time for the Diva of Props' turn for analysis.

The Liberal Democrats arelooking to regain the number of MPs they won in 2010, if the polls are to be believed, it looks like they're on their way, with some even saying they could become leaders of the opposition!

Can the Lib Dems bank on the Tories 14 years of mis governance? Can they win back voters? Or will previously broken pledges stall them?

At every election, there's always a few parties that seems to reurn the same amount of MPs, Plaid Cymru is one of them.

As Englishmen, our hosts know very little about the Welsh Party so we call upon our friends in Bylines Cymru to tell us about them.

What are their policies? Are they the Welsh version of the SNP? And can they have an impact in this general election? listen to our latest episode to find out.

This week on election Fever, we look at the SNP with the host of our Podcast across the border, Ronnie Barbour.

A few weeks before an election was called, the previous First Minister Humza Yousaf stepped down following an impolsion of the deal made with the Scottish Greens.

Now they have a new leader facing the same problems, will they come back to bite him or will he navigate his way through this election relatively well?

In this episode, we look back on and preview two elections.

Julian and Chris look back on some major results from the Local elections that took place at the beginning of May and react to the news that broke at the end of May.

What could this mean for the Tories? Is there any battlegrounds that Labour could lose? Will we get Election Fever done before July 4th?

At the Local Elections, interesting things have been happening for the Green Party.

They continued to rise in terms of councillors, gaining 74, and came very close to gaining the Bristol City Council.

However, the most interesting result could be incoming. With all the Councillors in teh newly created Bristol Central constituency now Green ones, with two more contituencies targeted.

Continuing our Election Fever miniseries, we ask the question can the Green Party replicate gains in Westminster?
