Ringing The Alarm

Charles Dickens ward councillor, Cal Corkery is up for re-election this year, only this time, the former Labour group leader of Portsmouth city council is standing as an independant, having been deselected and then expelled by the party that was his political home for many years. It really is a tale of two cities as Cal takes us through the best and worst of times, and what this means for the voters in Charles Dickens.

Will We Ever

Our third episode sees Ian and Simon welcome three guests, Dave Ashmore (Libdems), Cal Corkery (Labour), and Scott Payter-Harris (Conservative), all elected to Portsmouth City Council on May 2nd. Our guests chose four questions at random from the fourteen questions devilishly folded into our Pompey Politics Podcast Pot of Pondering.

PPP 03 Winners and Grinners Special

Ian & Simon discuss the results of the European Parliament elections, how they shaped up in our region (South East) and nationally, what they mean for Brexit and what they mean for the Conservative Party Leadership contest. 

We apologise for the background sound of some kid playing outside. You’re not imagining it.

Mr Kevin Thomas has not had a single visitor for more than ten years. He stays in his room at an old peoples home, cutting a lonely and bad tempered figure.  When a Nurse comes to see him, the residents and staff at the Home are amazed. This is a surprise, but of course Mr Thomas does not want to receive any visitors. Just what is his secret? And what news does the Nurse bring with her?

Written and Produced by Simon Sansbury. Starring Tom Rawlings as Green, with Iain Hamer, Lorinda Laing, Jenny Hamer and Emily Phillips. Beacon Productions (c) 2018.
