Political storm clouds are gathering over Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement. What does it mean for Parliament, party discipline and the Government's economic credibility. We speak to Dr Marie Tidball MP about her first months in Westminster - and the accessibility challenges facing disabled MPs. Plus, why did Peers get a vote on postponing local elections, but MPs didn't?With MPs facing a bleak economic outlook, proposed welfare cuts, and local elections on the horizon, how long can Ministers hold the line? Ruth and Mark dissect signs of unrest on Labour's backbenches, with a growing number of voices warning against what they see as a return to “austerity 2.0.” We explore the growing calls for a shift in economic strategy — from a wealth tax to rethinking the triple lock — and the dangers for Reeves if her current path begins to look like a “doom loop”. Also this week, Dr Marie Tidball MP joins us to share her first-hand experiences as a newly elected Labour MP (for Penistone and Stocksbridge) — and the accessibility hurdles facing disabled parliamentarians in Westminster's historic (and often inaccessible) corridors of power. She tells us about the challenges of navigating the place of Westminster's physical and procedural barriers. We also explore why the unelected House of Lords got a vote on the Goverment's plans to postpone some local elections — but MPs didn't? It's all to do with delegated legislation! And we answer listener's questions. Is anonymous evidence to Select Committees common?What's behind the Government's new ‘business motion' to control time in the House of Lords Chamber on Thursdays, until the end of the Session?And which podcasts do Mark and Ruth listen to?

Nick "Maso" Mason of The Weekly Planet and Mr Sunday Movies drops in from Melbourne for a chilling tale of ghosts, ghouls and... town planning. From "God's own country" (Australia) to "God's own county" (Yorkshire), we visit the haunted building site that was to become the infamous Stocksbridge bypass. Since the 1980s, this stretch of road has been associated with a ghostly hooded monk. Has he got a head? Has he got a face? Has he got a sk8er boi wallet on a chain? It's really not clear. And, as if that weren't spooky enough, we've got ghost children dancing around a maypole. If you've got 'em, put 'em on. We're talking about gilets, because your spine is going to be tingled!

Stocksbridge, a town famous for steel, mills, and local charm, could also be home to something more sinister. Could the bypass built to keep the town quiet have disturbed some long dormant evil or are the people who drive down the stretch of road all feeding into each other's delusion?

Joining me on the second part of our Halloween special is English author, journalist, lecturer and investigator, Dr David Clarke. Dr Clarke was the man who got the UK Government to release all its UFO files in the late 90s and early 00s but has covered a wide range of Fortean subjects over the years. We dive into one of the most well known modern ghost stories in the United Kingdom, that of the haunting of Stocksbridge Bypass, near my home town of Sheffield. Yet the stories didn't begin when the bypass opened, ironically on Friday the 13th in May 1988, they began prior to it opening with construction workers be too scared to work alone or at night and culminated in two police officers having a night they would never forget. We have exclusive clips from Dr Clarke's interviews with the officers at the time as well as other interviews with additional witnesses over the years. Whilst the modern version of this story seems to be a collection of fabricated experiences, exaggeration, and factually incorrect death tolls, something quite clearly has occurred for some witnesses. Are you brave enough to separate truth from fiction with us on Halloween?

After more than three years doing nothing much at all, your favourite paranormal podcasters are back. Bored with twiddling their thumbs, they have made it their mission to revisit old haunts in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, in a futile attempt to track down that which cannot be found.

Thanks to Spike Nesmith for his spooky voice at the beginning and end. And respect to band Ever Desireless for their haunting theme tune: 'Assembly Line Romance'.

This time they have a natter about true-life Yorkshire ghost stories, take to the road for the mad monk of Stocksbridge bypass, wear out the batteries on Mike's novelty sound machine, and try (but fail desperately) not to go off on too many tangents...
