Talking Pollcocks S3 EP3 - Lets Talk About Kemi

Kemi Badenoch.... The new leader of the Conservative party was up at the dispatch box for her second PMQ's. It wasn't the glowing performance that I am sure she was hoping for. However, it also wasn't a stellar performance from Sir Keir, so that may provide her some comfort! What else is happening in Parliament this week? Well there is the big Assisted Dying bill being brought to the house. While this is quite a somber topic, it is incredibly important in the national conversation and it is right that as a country, we are finally talking about it! And finally, there is always President-Elect Trump to provide some good (and funny) decisions as he is preparing to take office in January! Don't forget, you can get in touch with us by emailing talkingpollocks@criffnsean.com!!

Talking Pollcocks S3 EP2 - Is Joe Biden Still Alive

We are back!! And boy has it been an incredibly busy couple of weeks in the world of policitcs. We have had the first budget delivered by a female chancellor, we have had the first convicted felon to be elected to the white house and the first black woman to be leader of a Westminster party. It really has been a week of firsts!! The budget has many tax rises, many spending increases and much more borrowing, join Criff & Sean as they take a look at what Labour have done and if it was in their manifesto!! In more recent events (I did say it is fast moving), Donald Trump has returned.... make of that, what you will!

Talking Pollocks! Episode 9: Generally a bit sh*t, allegedly

Join us as we take a look back over the past 50 days and unpick the policies and announcements that have come from this new government.

Talking Pollocks! Episode 8: Our very first guest!!

The internet is something that the majority of us will use on a daily basis and even more so for the younger generation. With the developments in technology, staying safe in the digital world can be incredibly difficult! We are joined this week by, Urban Venture, a Twitch streamer, and we are talking to him about his experiences in the online spaces and his opinion on how the internet is used as a political tool to share information. Also delving into the danger of misinformation and the clear example we have seen in the last few weeks in the UK, and do we feel that the government does enough to tackle online crime and incitement.
