0:20.8 | Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the spectators' daily politics podcast. |
0:25.0 | I'm Katie Balls and I'm joined by Isbara Hardman and James Forsyfe and we are on a roof in Parliament. |
0:30.8 | Isabel, we just had Prime Minister's questions where I think as one would expect, the focus was on the situation in Ukraine. |

1:35.3 | And so it was a lot about who hadn't got sanctions, who had been given sanctions, whether Boris Johnson's claim that the vice is tightening around Putin is actually |
1:45.9 | true. I think it was strange because even though we can see a barbaric and horrific catastrophe |
