Episode notes

On this week's episode of Talking Politics Q&A, Paul Brand is in the chair and joined by Deputy Political Editor Anushka Asthana to discuss the burning questions you want the answers to, including:

  • Why is the Number 10 Downing Street door painted black?
  • How much will the UK's economy influence voters' decision in the upcoming local elections?
  • Is the UK government really still Labour or are they proving Tories 2.0 are in power?
  • What could the future look like for those who operate small businesses under the new workers' rights?
  • And why do some politicians say one thing to win votes and then switch once they're in government?
