You can now watch Beth, Ruth and Harriet on YouTube! Just search for "Electoral Dysfunction".
The chancellor was trying to channel Love Island when she announced her plans for growth this week.
But are her new ideas actually the "bombshell" her advisers hope they'll be? Can they get everyone's attention?
And will the strategy be enough for Rachel Reeves to keep all of the cabinet and the Labour Party on side when so many of them have been opposed to the third runway at Heathrow?
Meanwhile, on the five-year anniversary of Brexit – is Sir Keir Starmer getting closer to Europe?
