| 0:21.0 | Hello and welcome to a Saturday edition of Coffee House Shots. |
| 0:25.0 | I'm Kate Andrews and I'm joined by James Forsyth and Katie Balls. |
| 0:29.0 | It's been a very busy political week in Westminster with what was supposed to be a fiscal event with targeted measures for energy bills, |
