Realpolitik Podcast

Unfortunately, due to recording /editing difficulties (i.e. audio files that are almost completely unusable!), this week’s Realpolitik won’t be coming out and as we’re both busy for the weekend there isn’t time to record a new one. All being well, there’ll be a new Realpolitik (16b) next week.

In this week’s Realpolitik podcast with Gavin Whenman and Richard Holloway:

• The nationalisation of Northern Rock comes a cropper, with the LibDems possibly withdrawing their support.
• Is the Speaker doomed?
• Blair for EU President!
• Dutch DNA data goes missing in the UK.
• UK helps the US extraordinary rendition programme.
• New poll and public apathy.

The podcast was recorded on Thursday 21st February 2008 and if you want to contact us our email address is realpolitikpodcast@gmail.com. Next week we’ll also be recording on Thursday. Until then!
