Join us as we share some of our ideas and demonstrate our techniques, with Mr Hine as teacher and the Drs as pupils, complete with some (deliberate?) mistakes!

SNP's divison, Labour's red wall, London's knife crime, Trump's impeachment, and social media

In this episode of Oundle Politics in Conversation: News of the Week, join Mr Hine and Dr MacKenzie as they are joined by three Politics students and Dr Standley. They discuss what is going in with Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond; whether Labour's election strategy is enough to win back the red wall; and whether the recent spate of knife attacks will dent Sadiq Khan's chances of winning a second term as London Mayor, before moving onto the US to look at Trump's (second) impeachment trial; his return to social media; and asking the all-important question of who they would put into space.

News of the Week

What do Gavin Williamson, haggis, tweed, and Myanmar all have in common? Join Mr Hine, Dr MacKenzie and four of our Politics students as we chat through the recent news of the week and you'll find out! Our usual blend of academic rigour and irreverent humour. (PS - we know the sound is a bit ropey on this one! Maybe next time, we'll use Zoom - if it's good enough for the Handforth Parish Council, it's good enough for us!)
