83: Big Gavel Energy

Harriet and Producer Martin are joined by Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch, to talk about all the rows she's won this week and also whether fish and chips is a snack. They also speak to Eshaan Akbar for our regular ApologyWatch segment, which this week looks at Speaker of the House Sir Lindsay Hoyle's apology for his running of this week's ceasefire debate; and they are one of only two media outlets to speak exclusively to Vladimir Putin this week, hearing about the history of Ukraine and the amazing technological advances that have been made in Russia/ Thanks to Andrew, Brian Whittaker and Dan Griffiths for signing up to our Patreon this week.
