New House of Comments episode: Remembering John Prescott, ICC Issues Netanyahu Arrest Warrant

An anecdote and a well managed disagreement. What all podcasts should be.

In a packed week, co-hosts Charlotte Henry and I start by remembering John Prescott, the former Labour deputy prime minister who passed away aged 86.

We then go on to debate the ICC's decision to issue an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu - something on which we disagree - and I hope we have done here in a way that is fair to both of us and to the seriousness of the topic.

Finally, we also discuss developments in Ukraine.
