POPULARITY
Welcome to Asa's last episode of Politics on FUBAR! In honour of his new position at The Telegraph as Brexit Editor, Asa has decided to focus on all things Brexit this week! The weekly debate centres around the question; If you were given another referendum tomorrow, would you vote to leave or remain in the European Union? Asa looks at all facaets of Brexit, including 'hipster Tories', Russian foul play in the 2016 referendum and what on earth the Labuor party really stand for. This week's episode also features an extended interview with author Stanley Johnson, aka Boris Johnson's dad…

James Millar is back in the pub surrounded by experts to chew over another week in the general election campaign. Birmingham Mail political editor Jon Walker, New Statesman digital news editor Julia Rampen and co-founder of The Spoon Martha Gill share their views on how the parties are getting and discuss which Harry Potter book's the best, are the media unfair on Jeremy Corbyn, is this the SNP's hardest campaign yet, and the second stupid guy of 2017.
This week, Helen and Stephen list the scary things we have already learnt about Donald Trump's administration. Julia Rampen's back-bencher-of-the-week is David Lammy MP, prompting a discussion of Labour's position on the article 50 vote. And you ask us: will there be a deal on Brexit?

This week, Stephen and Anoosh explore what Theresa May has said about Brexit, what that means for a second Scottish referendum and what might be Labour's best line of response. Julia Rampen's Back-Bencher-Of-The-Week is Michael Gove, for his interview with Donald Trump. And You Ask Us: can you get away with anything if you're on the right?

This week, Helen and Stephen discuss Jeremy Corbyn's relaunch. Will it work and what is the wider outlook for left wing populism? Our Staggers editor, Julia Rampen, joins to explain why Caroline Lucas is her back bencher (and party co-leader) of the week. And you ask us: what is going on in Northern Ireland.

Labour's last man standing Ian Murray and editor of The Staggers blog Julia Rampen join James Millar for a St Andrew's Day chat. There's a review of the latest Prime Minister's Questions that saw Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May go head to head again and Tory backbencher Fiona Bruce speak out in defence of Christmas when it doesen't need defending. Plus there's some chat about whether St Andrew's day matters, Scottish Labour's latest dire poll ratings and how to dress like a bus driver. Tune in!
This week, Helen and Stephen are joined by Staggers Editor, Julia Rampen, to discuss the winners and losers in this year's Autumn Statement. How much jam really was there for the just-about-managings? And why is that concept both so inclusive and so un-helpful? Helen and Stephen also discuss Tony Blair - the former Labour leader's credibility problem and why the left must reconcile with its past.

This is, like that Saved By the Bell where Jessie got addicted to drugs, another very special episode. Partly it's because it's, disappointingly, Stephanie-free. (For various boring travel-related reasons, I'm afraid it's been pretty much impossible to get us into the same room at the same time.) But mostly it's because of a sneaking suspicion that, in light of recent events, nobody much cares about things like metro maps and infrastructure right now. So instead, I'm joined by a pair of colleagues from the New Statesman politics desk, Stephan Bush and Julia Rampen, to discuss the big news of the week: President-elect Donald Trump. How is the rust belt like the north of England? Is it economics, culture, or simply racism that cause rural areas to vote differently from urban ones? And most importantly - are we all going to die? We'll be back soon, with our normal co-host, our normal producer and our normal sponsor. Skylines is the podcast from CityMetric, the New Statesman's cities site. It's...

This week James Millar is joined by SNP big beast Drew Hendry and editor of The Staggers Julia Rampen. Drew tries to explain why the SNP want to leave the UK union but stay in the European union. And Julia gives her verdict on what could be Jeremy Corbyn's last Prime Minister's Questions. Also find out who is the king of canals.
Last week, Britain's Labour party announced the results of the internal party elections to determine its candidates for three of the new "metro mayor" posts being created next May. Former health secretary Andy Burnham will contest Greater Manchester; Liverpool Walton MP is the candidate for the greater Liverpool region; and Siôn Simon is to run in the West Midlands (Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry and the Black Country). The Labour party nationally is – and let's be nice about this – completely knackered. But it remains strong in Britain's cities, and won back the mayoralties in both London and Bristol earlier this year. It's highly probable that Burnham, Rotherham and Simon will all be elected as metro mayors next May. So this seems like a great moment to discuss who these new titans of the British political scene are. Stephanie and I are joined by our colleague Julia Rampen, who edits the New Statesman's politics blog, the Staggers, to talk about what new mayors can do for the Midlands and the North;...

This week, Helen is joined by Anoosh and Julia to play “Whose policy is it anyway?” and predict how new members will vote in the Labour leadership contest. Citymetric editor John Elledge joins to discuss how home ownership rates have fallen around the country. And you ask us: will article 50 ever be triggered and, if so, can it be reversed?

Emergency Politics Podcast! Stephen Bush is joined by NS deputy web-editor, Anoosh Chakelian, and Staggers editor, Julia Rampen, to discuss Theresa May's new cabinet appointments, pick their least favourite members, and speculate on what the changes might mean for Britain.

This week, Helen and Stephen explore whether Labour should split and what kind of party might be left if they did. They also discuss the prospects of the Tory leadership candidates and Ukip's MEPs. George Eaton and Julia Rampen, our new Staggers Editor, then join to talk about the legacy of the Chilcot report. And you ask us: who are candidates for Green Party leader?
