Marjorie Taylor Greene tells Emily Maitlis to "F*** off"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer made a fat joke about the Leader of the Opposition on the floor of the House of Commons as he delivered his Spring Budget today.

It was one of the only things he said that wasn't pre-trailed, making for an unremarkable speech about further temporary fuel duty freezes, National Insurance cuts and the creation of the Great British ISA.

Lewis has all the details with LBC's Poilitical Editor Natasha Clark and The Times' Economics Correspondent Jack Barnett.

Meanwhile, Emily has been locked in a battle with Trump's most die hard conspiracy theorist, Marjorie Taylor Green. They spent Super Tuesday in Trump's Mar-a-Lago ballroom, where the former President sped to victory.

Who really controls Britain's right wing?

The Conservatives have been in power for more than 13 years under five different prime ministers. We have experienced Cameroon austerity, Mayite statism, Johnsonite populism, and Trussite libertarianism. But who now wields the greatest influence among the Tories and on the British right?

George Eaton, senior editor, joins the podcast to discuss the publication of the New Statesman's inaugural Right Power List – a guide to the 50 most influential people in conservative politics.

This podcast is hosted by Anoosh Chakelilan, Britain editor at the New Statesman.

Johnson quits! Trump indicted! Berlusconi dies! Telegraph for sale! Sturgeon nicked! Dorries does… whatever it was she did! This one’s got it all. After a weekend that felt like the ‘Layla’ bit of Goodfellas, the OGWN team convene to look at the aftershocks of Boris Johnson’s flounce, what Trump’s worsening legal woes mean for America’s stability, and who we’d like to take over at the Torygraph. With special guest Eleni Courea, deputy editor of Politico’s London Playbook. Listen to our new paper review podcast PAPER CUTS here. • “There are so many layers to Johnson’s dishonesty that the idea he was forced out is just fanciful.” – Arthur Snell • “This idea that Johnson could come back is now completely fading.” – Eleni Courea • “I feel we’re definitely in Phase IV of the Tory Cinematic Universe…” – Alex Andreou • “Johnson WAS brought down by a conspiracy… A conspiracy of his own laziness and dishonesty.” – Matt Green https://www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Alex Andreou with Matt Green and Arthur Snell.

Joanna Cherry: free speech, independence, the SNP

SNP MP Joanna Cherry joins Calum, Geoff and Andy. She's in the middle of a tumultuous week, saying she's been cancelled by The Stand Comedy Club, whose staff don't want to work at an event Joanna was booked to take part in. In light of that, we discuss free speech and how far politicians, and the SNP, are responsible for eroding open debate. She also tells us: "I don't know what the SNP strategy for independence is at the moment." She talks about what the SNP need to do to head for independence and discusses recent policy decisions. Email us: hello@holyroodsources.com with your reaction comments and we'll read them on the next episode.

Sunak vs Starmer: The battle of the New Year’s speeches

Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer welcomed in 2023 with speeches setting out their priorities for the year and beyond.

Anoosh Chakelian, Freddie Hayward and Rachel Cunliffe discuss Sunak’s five pledges and why he appears more Blue Peter presenter than prime minister. They also analyse Starmer’s embrace of a Brexit slogan with his promise to help voters “take back control” of their communities, why he is pitching to a new squeezed middle, and his reluctance to talk about big spending.

Then in You Ask Us a listener asks whether the Conservatives are running the NHS down on purpose so they can sell it off.
