- Following the prime minister's trip to Europe this week, Beth Rigby, Jess Phillips and Ruth Davidson examine whether Rishi Sunak is convincing on the world stage and ask if his announcement on defence spending will help the Conservatives' chances in next week's local elections.
And after the Rwanda bill was passed this week - is this another win for the prime minister or a policy that he should have dumped months ago?
Plus, what's the future for Scottish First Minister Hamza Yusuf following the breakdown of the coalition between the SNP and the Greens. Ruth Davidson who was the leader of the Scottish Conservatives gives her verdict.
And how do MPs get deselected if they behave badly and can you become an MP if you have a past? The team answer more of your questions.

I love these three. They discuss very weighty issues, of local, national and international import, in an easy on the ear and accessible way.
Great listen
These 3 are great together. It feels like having a chat with your mates and I’d happily be mates with these 3. Keep up the great work.
Is it possible to watch this podcast anywhere? I really enjoy The News Agents, The Rest is Politics and this podcast, but this is the only one (as far as i know) that is audio only.
I’ve asked this a few times - there are visual clips posted on twitter/X so don’t understand why full thing can’t be available to watch. I find it much easier to concentrate on what is being said when watching
Like it or not it's all about the Brexit Effect on voters. No good trying to hide behind others issues.
three degrees class as usual.
They sound like it’s one big joke and entertainment is that what they make of politics because half of its not even factual
I agree 💯. Thanks for saving me a job. 🎉
Which half? Please tell
The three stooges!
I realise that the headline is a bit of humour but would the writers use the same humour with reference to female problems? I think not. Double standards?
I mean I think it's just much harder to make a pun out of vaginismus.
I’m not voting
Is this a preview of the new Macbeth film. The 3 witches scene at the beginning.
This podcast hasn’t worked. Who would listen to this?
Three stooges.
Some bright person says this every week. Have a break, eh? Yawn.

Where's your story about Tommy Robinson being acquitted?
Nowhere because it's a non-story no one cares.
Aquitted because the police put the wrong date on the paper! That proved him innocent, didn't it?!!!
'Robinson has been convicted for multiple crimes involving violence, stalking, financial and immigration fraud, drug possession, public order offences, and contempt of court. He has served at least four separate prison terms: for assault in 2005, for using false travel documents to enter the United States in 2012, for mortgage fraud in 2014, and 13 months in 2018 for contempt of court after publishing a Facebook Live video of defendants entering a law court (contravening a court order that disallows reporting on such trials while proceedings are ongoing).
'In August 2018, due to procedural errors, he was released on bail pending a new hearing. In July 2019, he was again found guilty of contempt of court at the retrial and was committed at the Old Bailey to nine months in prison․ Before his sentencing, he appeared on the American far-right website InfoWars to appeal for political asylum in the U.S. He was released from prison on 13 September 2019 after nine weeks.'
Now that's the kind of guy I'd like my daughter to marry!
