'Answer The Question!' - Is the chancellor telling us everything?

About this episode

Ruth and Beth are once again joined by the former Labour MP and ex-shadow culture secretary, Thangam Debbonaire to answer listener questions.

They explain the role of special advisers in politics and discuss whether the devolved nations still need their own secretaries of state in Westminster.

They also give us a history lesson on PMQs and dissect political messaging around the economy.
