January 18, 2019 #29 SP Podcast - Plan B is Plan A with nicer font
Well... what a week. Theresa May was heavily defeated in the Commons on her Withdrawal Agreement. But then she won a vote of no confidence. Then she has until Monday to bring back her Plan B (which is probably Plan A in a nicer font. Maybe something easy to read like Comic Sans. Actually, maybe it's Wingdings). Then who knows!

We chat through what happened over the past week and the parliamentary calendar of next.
