Hello, I'm Susan Hume and this is the Today in Parliament podcast for Friday the 28th of November.

Coming up, we asked, do we need a budget day at all?

Also, there will be extra days in the Lords to get through the

thousand plus amendments to the assisted dying bill, so will that unclog the bill's progress.

Absolutely. There is now a way forward so that it could become law.

In UK Parliament Week, one teenager questions the social media post political parties aim

Politics is something serious and you can't really just reduce it to a joke.

And how Regency ladies were forced to observe the Commons debates only through a hole in the Chamber's ceiling.

But first, for broadcast journalist reporting Budget Day is traditionally quite a stressful experience,

making sense on the hoof of what the Chancellor's announcing,

trying to spot the bad news slipped out in a throwaway line, and then there was always the

I've just delivered the main headlines of the budget. And therefore, you need to say, and I commend this statement to the house. That's the only thing that's the only thing that's missing.
