Political Yeti's Political Podcasts

James Millar is joined by SNP MP Roger Mullin and Yorkshire Post correspondent Kate Langston to review the final Prime Minister's Questions of this parliament. It may have been a short parliament but it was the longest ever PMQs. Plus there's election predictions, a fascinating insight into Roger's peace-making trip to the Middle East and, for the first time on the podcast, actual singing.

It's general election time again and SNP MP Deidre Brock joins James Millar to discuss the shockwaves in Westminster and what it means for indyref2. Plus real life political analyst Mike Indian is on hand to review the penultimate Prime Minister's Questions of this parliament. And given Deidre once did a turn on Home and Away there's some discussion about Ailsa eras on the Aussie soap opera.

With MPs on their recess this week James Millar is joined by a bona fide expert, or indeed Brexpert. Anand Menon of the UK In a Changing Europe think tank answers listeners questions about Brexit covering food prices, security, Scottish independence and immigration among other things. Plus there's cynicism, sarcasm, Big Ben and an unwanted intervention from a robot. You don't get that anywhere else.

To discuss the momentous events of the previous day when Brexit was triggered by the Prime Minister, James Millar is joined by SNP MP Kirsty Blackman and Yorkshire Post political correspondent Kate Langston. As well as chatting about whether Brexit affects our identity there's more Aberdonian delicacies on the menu and a bit of indyref2. PLUS one of my guests correctly guesses the mystery voice on the I Love Your Questions jingle forcing some extra special editing. Listen in.

This episode was recorded just an hour before the terrorist attack on Westminster, hence no reference to it and hence it's been delayed. It didn't seem appropriate on the day of the attack to release a recording of three people just joshing around about politics. But there's no reason not to release it so here's James Millar, Lindsay Razaq and the SNP's rising star Callum McCaig on indyref2, Finding Nemo and the internal jokes and fights of the SNP.

This week James Millar is joined by Stuart Donaldson, the second youngest MP in the Commons, to discuss Nicola Sturgeon's new independence referendum, sausages and Theresa May running over Jeremy Corbyn. And another newbie, Paris Gourtsoyannis of The Scotsman, is on board to discuss his excitement about indyref 2 and the grim reality of the effect of Brexit

Reviewing Philip Hammond's first budget with Eilidh Whiteford, SNP work and pensions spokesperson (and the person matters) and Westminster watcher extraordinaire Tony Grew. And since we're in a reviewing mode there's a discussion about which was the more worthy Oscar winner - La La Land or Moonlight. Plus the 'I Love Your Questions' chain continues. Will there be a winner this week? Listen in to find out.

There's another newbie on the podcast this week as SNP MP Carol Monaghan joins James for the first time to discuss a pedestrian PMQs and a lively debate around independence. Plus Ian Silvera returns to offer his take on fish and Sadiq Khan. Really.

This week SNP MP Kirsten Oswald and the Herald's Westminster correspondent Kate Devlin join James Millar to talk about the sexist bampots of the world. So up for discussion is Tory attempts to derail a bill against domestic violence and picking over this week's Donald Trump debate in parliament. Plus there's unanimity on the best dress up outfit for Alex Salmond

It's half term for children and MPs and the two come together in this week's podcast as James Millar is joined by his offspring to quiz game Labour MP Ian Murray. Who wants to dress Jeremy Corbyn as Batman? Is Ian related to Andy Murray? And why does everyone keep talking about KitKats so much? Listen in for some half term hilarity.

This week the world's tiniest MP - SNP member for Aberdeen North Kirsty Blackman - is back on the podcast with James Millar to explain why the SNP are so unhappy about the rules in Westminster and why pedantic ornithologists are so unhappy with her. Plus there's Jon Walker, political editor of the Birmingham Mail and gourmand extraordinaire on Brexit and regional menus.

This week James Millar is joined by SNP busy boy Ian Blackford. The Speaker dubbed him an "excitable zebedee" he's been up and down on the green benches so much talking about Donald Trump, pensions, Brexit and Scottish independence. He joins James to discuss all of the above plus the art of the intervention, before dashing off to another debate.

This week James Millar is joined by a bona fide Brexit expert. Posh and clever Oliver Ilott from the Institute for Government explains the single market and the customs union but wait, don't give up at that, there's also think tank mud slinging, Captain America and a surprising fact about North Korea. Plenty of entertainment to go with the information.

This week James Millar is joined by podcast regular Roger Mullin, king of Fife and SNP MP, and also by angry young man and parliamentary know it all Tony Grew. Up for discussion is the latest session of Prime Minister's Questions, the smallest MP, Brexit, Scottish independence, Roger's latest policy win at Westminster,and a sock based argument about capitalism. Plus new feature: I love your questions. Enjoy

Another extended chat this week, this time James Millar is in conversation with current politician Stephen Gethins. He's the SNP's spokesman on Europe and Brexit and one of the bright stars of the party's general election intake. Stephen fields all the questions being asked about the SNP and Europe plus some nonsense about James Bond and badgers. Plus there's a new jazzy jingle.

So, here's something different for the New Year. Just me and a guest talking about politics and that. In this case it's Tom Greatrex, well respected Labour MP until he lost his seat at the last election. Now he's bringing his experience as a shadow energy minister to bear as chief executive of the Nuclear Industry Association. So we talk about nuclear power stations and whether they are going to blow up, hippies, the Chinese, and being sick at a fishmarket. Also he uses the phrase 'do a lot of wind' and I don't snigger. Enjoy.

In the last podcast of the year James Millar is joined for a review of a tumultuous 2016 by Drew Hendry, Inverness MP for the SNP, and by Annabelle Dickson, chair of Westminster's regional lobby of journalists. Up for discussion is Brexit, the Holyrood election, the year of death and Annabelle's experiences covering the Trump campaign. Plus LIVE JINGLE BELLS

Last month Bridget Phillipson wrote a very good piece about Labour's current woes (here http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2016/11/conditions-labours-previous-successes-are-falling-apart-where-do-we-go ) so James invited her on the podcast to discuss where Labour's going wrong and where it goes from here. They are also joined by International Business Times political correspondent Ian Silvera to talk about the latest round of Prime Minister's Questions and there's some revelations about politicians' Christmas parties.

This week James Millar is joined by the SNP's Kirsty Blackman, a small MP with big ambitions to reform the House of Lords. And Kate Langston's back but with a new position. Together they discuss a very odd episode of Prime Minister's Questions, the SNP's education failings in Scotland, what to do about the House of Lords and objectionable Tory weddings

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!
