Well that'll teach me. Rather than record it on Skype this week, I thought I would use the BBC studio in Kent in between appearances Radio 5 and 4.

Anyway, In spite of the technical difficulties, in the show this week we talk about Alan Milburn and his role in Government; whether a GOATS approach actually works; does Cameron like his party; why more love needs to be shown to MPs and activists alike; and how Eric Pickles has been delivering again this time in relation to the Audit Commission.
