Ever feel like politics could be different? Join comedian Gráinne Maguire and journalist Marie Le Conte as they work out how we can all get more involved. This isn't just a podcast, it's Changing Politics.

This week, Marie and Gráinne look at the gay conversion therapy, which is amazingly still happening in the UK. We spoke to ITV's Paul Brand, who's been reporting on this recently, as well as Rachel Taggart-Ryan from Humanists UK who have been campaigning on getting the practice criminalist. And the good news is this week, you can help by simply not laughing at bad jokes.

The roundup of the week's news focuses largely on the attempted revolts on the Tory benches, where the ERG have finally pulled the trigger on Theresa May, only to realise that their water pistols are facing the wrong way. But there's also time to mention the UN report into UK austerity, and to consider how that looks on Esther McVey's CV.
