About this episode
Harriet responds to your messages about the Green Party after she went viral for her take on leader Zack Polanski.
How does its surge in popularity link up with the result of the Caerphilly by-election? And is the party getting more support because it's not entirely focused on climate change?
Plus, rumour has it that the Labour government is planning to raise income tax in next month's budget. It would mean breaking a manifesto promise. So how believable is it? Beth, Ruth and Harriet aren't convinced.
They discuss how the government could get itself out of the black hole, and what would happen if it did break its promise on tax.
Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.
