Welcome to a special edition of the Politics Weekly podcast, recorded in front of a live audience at the Guardian's headquarters in London.
Allegra Stratton and Tom Clark are joined by Polly Toynbee, Simon Jenkins and Nick Cohen to reflect on the MPs' expenses scandal and the other key political events of the last twelve months, and look forward to what's in store for Westminster in 2010.
The panel analyse the chancellor's banker-bashing in his pre-budget report, and also get stuck into issues such as class, electoral reform, and what life would be like under a Cameron government.
