    After it took 15 votes for Mcarthy to become the Republican Speaker of the House - we are seeing the right in the US more divided then it has been in years - here's why. Today I am joined by journalist and progressive Oliver Willis (American Independent, formerly Media Matters for America) to discuss the divisions within the Republican Party, from Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert in the House, to Rob DeSantis and Donald Trump eyeing for the Presidency. We then explore the current state of the Democrats. How has Joe Biden been in his first 2 years in charge? Will Joe Biden run again and if he doesn't who will be the Democrat candidate? And finally we discuss January 6th's impact on the world, after the recent insurrection in Brazil by Bolsonaro supporters. Follow @owillis on twitter Follow @DutifulFuture on twitter Chapters:

    What is the relationship between journalism and politics? Especially during a crisis such as Covid-19. I alongside BBC Newsnight's Policy Editor Lewis Goodall, discuss the important role that journalism plays in the political sphere, and explore the issues of challenging the government, when there are cries for unit during a crisis, where any criticism can be seen as unpatriotic. Lewis Goddall goes over potential difficulties with the relationship between the British Media and Politicians potentially alienating the public, and explains why people often feel that journalists just aren't asking the right questions. Does the media really hold off on the government? What really is the role of journalists during Covid-19? And what are the difficulties of navigating said journalism during a crisis? All these questions and more answered... After this we discuss the future of the labour party under Keir Starmer and Lewis theorises the potential impact of coronavirus on his future as labour leader.

    This week I'm joined by the fantastic Anna Donaghue as we discuss the issues of the increasing role of politics in dating. In a world where people have started to sacrifice chemistry for alignment of policy positions how can dating gaps be overcome? And do they actually need to be overcome in the first place? Should political opinions matter in dating and friendships? Or should we try and look past these issues? What are the major issues people consider when dating a partner? And why is it that 6% of people in the USA said they wouldn't date someone who disagreed with them on government spending?
