Steel nationalisation, MP's pay & 1 May elections
Where does the time go? Remarkably, it’s now six months since our now not-so-new podcast, a nation of taxpayers, made its first appearance.Ā 
In this week’s episode, Podcast host Duncan Barkes and the TPA's Elliot Keck are joined by Emma Revell, External Affairs Director at the Centre for Policy Studies.
They talk about the future of the steel works in Scunthorpe and whether nationalisation is the solution (check out this blog from John O’Connell on the TPA’s position in full). Plus there's an exchange of views regarding MP's pay and some thoughts about the challenges facing all political parties with the by-election and local elections on 1 May. You can find the latest episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
Since we started back in October, we’ve covered everything from the disastrous autumn budget and the farmers’ Whitehall protests to defunding the BBC and a conversation with Mike Graham.Ā 

If you’re looking for some enlightening listening and first class political analysis that’s not just the usual ā€˜centrist-dad’ drivel this Easter weekend, why not check out our back catalogue, including big-hitting guests such as Rupert Lowe, Ben Habib, Esther McVey, Patrick O'Flynn and Andrew Griffith. All episodes of a nation of taxpayers can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
Happy Easter!
The TPA team would like to wish all of you a joyful and relaxing Easter!
