We started the show with a fierce discussion about David Cameron's proposal to take job seekers benefits away form young people between the age 18 and 25 unless they do 30 hours of unpaid work.

In the second part, our panel talked about a church of England bishops joint open letter in which they call for a fresh moral vision of the kind of country we want to be.

Lastly, we talked about a protest which happen in Portland building last week which called for ending the university's investments in fossil fuels companies.

The panel talked with Sebastian Soar, who is an independent candidate for Nottingham East parliamentary seat. We discussed his manifesto, experiences and campaign.

In the second part of the show, we talked about Sebastian's candidacy as an independent candidate and what it would mean for him if he was elected. We also discussed whether we need political parties.

Lastly, the panel discussed the outcome of general election in Greece and the rise of a radical leftist party Syriza. We also talked about the possibilities of writing off a part of Greece's debt.

Our penultimate show of first term became one of our most lively yet with the all-too-familiar clash of our panellists, both regular and new, on schools, immigration and the age of Members of Parliament.

First up, we discussed controversial proposals from the opposition to remove the charitable status of private schools unless they do more to help the state education system.

After a short break our panellists exchanged some heated rhetoric on immigration, in particular on the news that the current Government did not meet the targets they originally set themselves.

The show finished with a discussion on the age of MPs following research that shows some of the youngest candidates for the 2015 General Election are just 18 years old.

Don't forget to join us on Wednesdays from 6pm for discussion of student issues, current affairs and all things politics!

The last show of November saw our student panellists discuss the riots in Ferguson, USA (with a special from a UoN alumni in the States!) as well as debate on the use of Band Aid to raise money. Perhaps the most heated of all was our discussion surrounding UKIP's victory in Rochester and Strood, in which there was strong disagreement (to put it lightly) over Emily Thornberry MP's #Rochester tweet.

Sound like your cup of tea? Have a listen!

Quick overview of the best of this week show

Secondly, following a debate organise by Voice Your Rights Projects, we discussed secularism. President of Agnostic, Secularist and Humanist society came along as a guest speaker.
