Today we're launching a new podcast, Politics Weekly, where we'll be picking apart the week's events at Westminster.
For the first show, I was joined by some of Westminster's finest. Jackie Ashley, the Guardian's political columnist, locked horns over this week's Queen's Speech with Michael White, the Guardian's senior political commentator, and Greg Clark, the Conservative MP and shadow cabinet office minister.
As generous hosts at the Guardian, we promised our guests a free drink (non alcoholic I'm afraid) in return for their agreement to sound off and butt in at every opportunity. Jackie, Michael and Greg more than lived up to their side of the bargain.
Greg thought that Gordon Brown had failed spectacularly to outline a compelling vision for the country. Jackie thought this a little unfair, though she did say that the prime minister is struggling to assert himself in the House of Commons. Mike thought he needed a narrative.
Tell us what you think of our first programme. Were you disappointed that we were only drinking tea, coffee and water? Would the programme have been sharpened by something a little stronger? Were we too harsh, or even too soft, on Gordon Brown?
