Available for 29 days

The new Plaid Cymru government's cabinet minister for enterprise, connectivity and energy, Adam Price joins us in the studio. As world leaders flock to Beijing for trade deals and better relations, we ask Development Reimagined's CEO, economist Hannah Ryder about the rise of China. As the selection process for candidates to the Makerfield by-election faces a few bumps, we discuss where things are with the campaign with the Liverpool Echo's political editor Liam Thorp. The Scottish first minister John Swinney is holding a vote on a motion on independence this week. Abbie Garton-Crosby from the National newspaper compares and contrasts the two different independence journeys of Wales and Scotland. And drinking in the House of Commons: Green MP Hannah Spencer wants it banned. Former Conservative chief whip Lord Hart of Tenby is with us with his view. As we continue to meet new members of the Senedd, this week it's Sarah Cooper-Lessad's turn. She's Reform's shadow cabinet minister for children, young people and skills.
