Paul Waugh, Ned Simons, Graeme Demianyk and Owen Bennett also chew over this week’s PMQ’s and the upcoming Oldham West and Royton by-election.

Tory MP Johnny Mercer gives his views on military action in Syria in an exclusive chat with Graeme, and we discuss SNP MP’s Kirsty Blackman’s 15 from ’15 interview.

Joining the team for show are Huffington Post UK Tech Editor Thomas Tamblyn and Young Voices Editor Lucy Sherriff.
