Description

How much money are MPs making on top of their day jobs? Who is topping up their earnings? And how much should they be paid? The IfG podcast team are joined by Sky’s deputy political editor Sam Coates, who this week has unveiled some eye-catching findings in his Westminster Accounts project.
 
From one pay dispute to another as strikes continue to hit public services across the country. Is the government any closer to reaching a settlement, and is anti-strike legislation really the right way to go about it?
 
Plus: Are we on the verge of a Brexit breakthrough – and what would that mean for the Northern Ireland protocol and the political stalemate at Stormont?
 
Hannah White presents. With Alice Lilly, Nick Davies and Jess Sargeant
