    <description>Jonny Bentley and Adam Bragan are two British twentysomethings with an interest in all things politics. Pints &amp; Politics aims to deliver an analysis of Britain's politics in a fun and digestible manner, as if you were having the discussion in a British pub! Breaking down current affairs, debating ethical issues and looking at America from afar. Debating. Educating. Entertaining (hopefully!). </description>
