I listen to LBC - James O’Brian as he is well worth a listen. I watch live politics on tv. I read the Times on Saturday. We watch BBC, ITV. Channel 4 and sky news. We read the online news items. Watch Question Time.

Sorry, I thought it was there but it wasn't! The second is a "The Rest is Politics" podcast.

I've just watched The housing market crash is just beginning | Economics | The New Statesman. I find the journalism on the New Statesman and other news magazines, e.g., The Economist, etc., second to none. Reading the articles and backing them with the Podcasts or doing one or the other to suit gives so much more breadth to knowledge. Three of the journalists have each taken a separate area of buying, renting and community consequences. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Next on my list is Conservative's 'Economic Traps' | Should Britain Return Ancient Artefacts? | Populism Deep-Dive As usual the agreeable disagreement is rounded out by the knowledge and experience they bring together.

Finally - and I know he's not everyone's cup of tea - one from Phil Moorhouse on his Labour Vision Channel, on which he talks about Labour Policies - something the MSM rarely do. Labour Policies on NHS Funding and Philosophy | Labour Vision with Phil Moorhouse. Love them or leave them it's at least worth knowing about them.
