POPULARITY
It was 2019 and I'd had a win on the Lottery, Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson was trying to be frightening, Donald Trump got a health check and Nigel Farage organised a march.
Arj Singh hosts this week's Commons People joined by Paul Waugh, former Downing Street National Security Adviser, Lord Peter Ricketts and director of the Open Europe think-tank, Henry Newman.

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson sacked over Huawei leak
The UK's Military Flying Training System trains pilots on aircraft from fighter planes to navy helicopters. It takes years for trainees to get their wings. But delays in the system, mean many pilots and crew are 'on hold', waiting months, often years to take to the skies. File on 4 investigates the reasons for the hold ups. What's the impact of these delays on the public purse and on our military capability? The government's promising a beefed up armed forces, including two new Typhoon squadrons and F35 jets. Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson says the UK needs to be ready to use 'hard power' or risk being seen as little more than a paper tiger. But with the MoD's flying training still not at full throttle, will a lack of pilots undermine our military capability?

Iain and Jacqui discuss whether Jihadi bride Shamima Begum should be readmitted to Britain, ask if Theresa May knows what her Brexit strategy is and question whether middle class kids should have taken the day off school to take part in climate change protests. They discuss the recent passing of Lady Falkender and whether Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson was right to take China to task. They answer lots of questions including whether either of them have been offered a peerage, who could follow Andrew Neil and how they will be marking Brexit on 29 March. Oh, and Iain relates a disgusting take about an Australian… Smut Quota: High

In this episode, I feature stories which are expressions of the Hunger Games society. At a time of increasing homelessness and food bank use, both of which feature in stories I cover, the taxpayer is paying for Princess Eugenie’s wedding (who?) just as they had to pay for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This is symbolic of the difference between the masses and the elite living in the Capitol in the Hunger Games movies. Capitol gains indeed... The Hunger Games society involves a brutal, psychopathic law enforcement. Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has proposed crazy ideas (well, he is Defence Secretary) for guns on tractors and ferries as landing craft and disguised missile systems. I explain how this connects into the Hunger Games society agenda. Bank branches are closing at an alarming rate and at the same time, ATM’s are being removed. I explain why these are massive stepping stones towards the Hunger Games society. Transgender and fluid gender are in the news once again. Victoria Atkins, Minister for Women has faced criticism for her claims that certain children are making the choice to be transgender as a response to "questions they’re maybe not asking themselves". Once again, criticism for questioning transgender.
Iain and Jacqui discuss Donald Trump’s latest antics on steel tariffs and speculate about whether the on-off-on summit with Kim Jong Un will take place. They talk about the art of political interviewing and question Richard Madeley’s tactics in cutting off Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson. They ask why Brexit continues to drive some people mad, and Iain has some strong words about Professor A C Grayling. They discuss why the trend seems to be for some countries to appoint very good looking prime ministers – yes, they really are that shallow.
