What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

VULTURES ARE CIRCLING - Feat. Scott Bennett

Tue, 12 May 2026 01:00:00 -0000

The very funny Scott Bennett joins me to discuss the growing black hole that is Keir Starmer's career and whether the alternatives are any better. Even as we were chatting Keir's big speech seemed to be landing like a stone with Labour MPs. We also talk about the striking keffiyeh wearing teachers who were seen getting a telling off from their own students. In the Patron only, Scott gives a death story for the ages.

BREAKING NEWS - Will Starmer Stumble On?

Sat, 09 May 2026 11:47:00 -0000

A rare Saturday upload as I've taken a while to digest all of the 'seismic' election results. Will Starmer stumble on? Are Reform on course to run Britain? Are the Tories 'green shoots' just cress? Will the Greens ever realise they too are divisive? All this and more in a local election special.

LOCAL ELECTON 'FEVER' - Feat. Iain Dale

Wed, 06 May 2026 01:00:00 -0000

Given it's a big political week I got the big dog himself, Iain Dale, in to help summarise the stakes for the main parties (of which there are a lot). Will this be the tipping point for Keir? The graduation moment for Reform or the day the nutty Greens arrive as a national force? (even though it's supposed to be local). We also discuss my brush with the Karens and in the Patron only whether we lost friends during the Brexit years.

BREAKING NEWS - Starmer Starts Glitching

Fri, 01 May 2026 10:31:00 -0000

Plenty to catch up on after Morgan Mcsweeney turned out to be a terrible super-villain, Keir needed to sit down in a darkened room and dodgy Nigel was caught out on donations. I also chat about people thinking Reform are extreme and whether the King might have a new career in front of him.

DONALD & THE KING - Feat. Erich Mcelroy

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:00:00 -0000

With the King visiting the US amid febrile times and another assassination attempt, Erich McElroy returns to give his view on politics stateside. Closer to home Keir Starmer is getting more Boris comparisons than he's comfortable with and might yet have to face the same privileges panel! In the Patron only we talk about being pathetic modern dads who cry at everything.

BREAKING NEWS - Rats & Sinking Ships

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:00:00 -0000

Plenty to mop up from the week. From devastating articles to even Pat Mcfadden not rowing in behind him, it's fair to say Starmer is close to being read his last rites. If that wasn't bad enough, Diane Abbott has been appearing on more TV shows than Bradley Walsh as she prepares to dance on his grave. In other news Reform have said we're not positive enough about Britain, but also that every school needs a portrait of the king. Hmmm.

STARMERGEDDON - Feat. Francis Foster

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:00:00 -0000

Francis Foster joins me to pick the bones out of several days of chaos for our glorious PM. From the revelations in the Guardian, to his painful address in the commons down and then Olly Robbins testimony, we ask whether it's damaged him or confirmed what people already thought. Also - as Francis has a book on teaching coming out - we look at the govt's u-turn on banning mobile phones in schools. In the Patron only we react to Nigel Farage's surprising broadside against online racists.

BREAKING NEWS - The Rise of The Femosphere?

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 17:40:00 -0000

In this breaking news episode I discuss some eye-catching research which suggests young women are more hostile to young men than the other way around! I also chat about a BBC sting where people have so keen to pretend they're gay they've been doing selfies with Peter Tatchell. And Keir Starmer - prior to the news about Mandelson's appointment breaking after I recored - was in surprisingly chipper mood.

SADIQ Vs SUVs - Feat. Mark Nelson

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 01:00:00 -0000

Delighted to have Mark Nelson back on this week as we ponder everything from Sadiq looking for more ways to tax people to why Scottish politics is in its 'Post Pete Sampras' era. We also chat about a good old fashioned bit of woke nonsense as Sabrina Carpenter gets in trouble for not knowing Arabic chants from yodelling. In the Patron only Mark gives us a death story with a real twist.

DEEP-FRIED TRIPLE-LOCK - Feat. Alun Cochrane

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 01:00:00 -0000

The genial Alun Cochrane makes a welcome return as we discuss the starter gun being fired on local elections. We wonder whether the triple-lock is sustainable (whilst also knowing we're risking the wrath of boomers). Then we ask how Keir Starmer thinks not getting into a war will translate into votes for local govt. Also, what's a good/bad night for the Tories? No-one knows. In the Patron only we discuss the little sh*ts ram-raiding shops and what to do about it.

BREAKING NEWS - Labour MP Likes a Periscope

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 10:50:00 -0000

Please excuse the Carry On style title, but who doesn't love suggestive submarine based humour? I discuss the Labour MP with a thing for torpedos. In more serious matters, I reflect on Starmer trying to seem like a war-time leader, Robert Jenrick trying to seem like Jet 2 and the Tories coming off like a kid's cartoon.

ANOTHER BBC PRESENTER SCANDAL - Feat. Tom Walker (aka Jonathan Pie)

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 01:00:00 -0000

Tom Walker returns to discuss another BBC presenter scandal as mystery surrounds the sacking of Scott Mills. We ask what the hell is going on with these presenter types? We also celebrate the long overdue changes in non-crime hate incidents and why Trump's Iran policy is like waiting for something to download. In the Patron only section we consider why bad comedy makes people more angry than bad consumer affairs programmes.

BREAKING NEWS - The Dog Ate my Phone

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:38:00 -0000

I discuss the 'far-fetched' belief that two of the dodgiest people in politics might have done something dodgy with their mobile phones. I also ponder whether Keir Starmer actually is the least sh*t option Labour has. I then talk about Reform doing two bad things and one good. There's also chat about the mental decision to drop an episode of Repair Shop due to some 'sexist' jokes.

WHITE WORKING CLASS BOYS - Feat. Simon Evans

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 19:23:00 -0000

Simon Evans is back this week as we ponder why no-one seems especially rattled by the possibility of missiles hitting London and financial armageddon. We also look at yet more research showing white working-class boys are falling behind academically and yet more apathy from those who should care about such things. In the Patron only we discuss the launch of SNL UK and how comedy became a culture war issue.

BREAKING NEWS - Caustic Keir, Ambitious Angela & Dozy Davey

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:47:00 -0000

A lot to unpack from the week: Starmer avoiding questions like I avoid service stations without a Greggs, Rayner on maneouvres, Davey's dodgy dance moves and the comedy radar of Donald J Trump. I also have another rant about men getting their shirts off in TV shows.

INSIDE THE MANOSFEAR - Feat. Marcus Brigstocke

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 02:00:00 -0000

This week Marcus Brigstocke makes a welcome return as we delve into revelations which suggest Keir Starmer is above all else a bit weird. We also wonder if - in the current hyper-active media landscape - a Margaret Thatcher could emerge. We move onto discuss Louis Theroux's new documentary about the manosphere, laughing at the some of the muppets in it but also remembering that it exists for a reason. In the Patron only we talk about plans to have signs warning people of AI content.

The brilliant Andrew Doyle returns to talk about coping with bad news and the prospect of everything getting more expensive. We discuss how non-interventionalist Trump intervening in everything is going down with the MAGA base. We also wonder if the war might save Keir's Job. Then it's a chat about the lack of working-class writers in TV and why female characters all end up being super-heroes.

BREAKING NEWS - 'He's No Winston Churchill'

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:00:00 -0000

Plenty discuss even since Monday! We've had Trump and Starmer in a war of words, Kemi Badenoch going in guns possibly too hot the spring statement and the Greens over-taking Labour all in a few short days. Also I hired an electric car and am not impressed, in the same way I wasn't a fan of SNL's sketch on Tourette's.

Really interesting episode this week as the brilliant Davina Bentley makes her debut. We discuss the conflict in Iran, Labour sneaking out another ministerial casualty, social media bans for under 16's and being a dad - whilst somehow managing to turn almost every subject into a gender war.

I also talk about Labour's need to have more of the quiet days they've had this week (in a relative sense anyway). Then it's onto Reform's 'shadow' cabinet which aren't yet shadows.

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 02:00:00 -0000

Francis Foster finally deigns to join us after his recent blow-out. As a little break from the rolling Starmer sh*t-storm, we look at Rupert Lowe's launch of Restore Britain and ask if there are too many right-wing parties.

BREAKING NEWS - A Mad, Mad Week

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 15:48:34 -0000

Sometimes this show is political therapy as much as commentary, so I try to analyse a week where the PM was on the brink, then he wasn't, then he went on to give one of the most bizarre PMQs in living memory. Also, Nigel wanted some attention this week, so I discuss his plan to ban all working from home.

What a week for Tom to rejoin me as we analyse everything that's got Keir Starmer to the brink of an early exit. We chat about whether Starmer has a normal voice he's hiding and whether he'll shortly have to do the world's worst gardening leave. We also discuss the frankly ridiculous notion of theme park queue-jump for people with ADHD. In the Patron only we get into why Bad Bunny was singing only in Spanish at the Super Bowl.

BREAKING NEWS - Starmer Dragged Into Mandelson's Murk

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 12:12:12 -0000

In this episode I reflect on a PMQS which might go down in history. From the stoney silence behind him to the fact he insisted on calling him simply 'Mandelson'. Then it's onto what happens next, an inquiry is one thing but all the public now know his team hired a guy who'd stayed friends with a n*nce. Can the caped crusader survive this one?

We also chat about what must've been said in the NEC group / Keir Starmer's BFF round-table. Then we reflect on Trump's comments about British troops and why you should never get on the wrong side of Rod Stewart. In the Patron only we engage in the debate regarding uconscious racial bias on The Traitors.

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 02:00:00 -0000

All the attention on Donald's shenanigans has pulled focus from important economic news at home. Have things got worse or better? (not a difficult one to answer). I ask whether Starmer actually benefits from Donald's dramatics, while acknowledging he might not have had the worst PMQs.

I also look at more January political transfer window activity as Bobby J joins with Nigel F. Then I talk about London murder rates and the right's increasing inability to recognise good news.

INSTABAN: Will Kemi Hit Social Media? - Feat. Ian Stone

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 02:00:00 -0000

Was delighted to have super-sub Ian Stone to come off the bench for absolute blowout merchant Francis Foster (who apparently is involved with a much bigger podcast). Me and Stoney evaluate Kemi's proposal to ban social media for under 16's and find ourselves on unusual sides of the political fence. That continues into our chat about Trump, where we realise that if he sorts out Iran he might be a massive Feminist. In the Patreon only I reveal why I ended up in A & E and why I'm a massive hypocrite.

BREAKING NEWS - Labour's Problem with Pubs

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 13:00:00 -0000

In this first Breaking News of the year I ask 'Do Labour Have a problem with Pubs?' Spoiler alert - yes. From the u-turn on business rates and the attempts to reduce drink-drive limits they seem to have an issue with people having fun. What else do the British public really want to talk about? That's right, weather. I discuss the feeling of betrayal when you have to de-ice your car twice in the same day.

The brilliant Alun Cochrane joins me to join over Trump taking over Venezuela while we were all nursing hangovers. We start however by digesting Keir Starmer's New Year interview with Laura Kuennsburg and wonder whether any of his mates are telling him the truth about his popularity (or lack of).

In the Patron only section Alun has a particularly stinging death story to share, the moral of it being 'don't go on after a guy who juggles guitars'.

2026 POLITICAL PREDICTIONS

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 12:01:48 -0000

It's time to see what I got right for this year and throw ahead to 2026. Will Starmer survive the the year? (spoiler alert - no). Will Kemi Badenoch continue the Tory's modest revival? Will Nigel Farage manage a lot of games over the tricky Christmas period? And will Ed Davey ever say anything of consequence.

Romesh returns for another Christmas cracker. We discuss what's in Keir Starmer's Christmas dinner, what films Kemi Badenoch watches and how insufferable Ed Davey is. Then it's onto festival games where we laugh a lot and somehow come up with a collective noun for a group of anus. In the Patreon only Romesh shares a bad gig death story which means he can never go back to Leicester...

BREAKING NEWS - Nigel Farage Vs The Black & White Minstrels

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 12:55:26 -0000

I react to one of the more surprising political stories of the year as Nigel Farage goes on the counter-offensive against the BBC's back-catalogue. We also talk about Calamity Lammy's attempts to sell jury-free trials to the public. However there's praise for Wes Streeting as he shrewdly attempts to prove the blindingly obvious about mental health.

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 02:00:00 -0000

The brilliant Konstantin Kisin makes a welcome return to discuss the storm around the chancellor after her 'creative' relationship with hard economic facts.

Then Konstantin talks about a special report he's made in a town which has fears about housing 600 undocumented migrants on a barracks. In the Patron only we unpack another mental arrest by UK police.

* BUDGET REACTION SPECIAL *

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 13:15:41 -0000

I had to re-record as this as my first effort was far too angry ! I get into the budget Rachel promised she'd never have to do again. I'm undeniably angry that it hit me in the balls, but also will it hamper growth too? I then look at increasingly confident Kemi's response and suggest her growing popularity is because we're all crying out for strong matriarchs.

A Very Taxing Week - Feat. Dominic Frisby

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 17:07:56 -0000

In the week of the budget there was no better guest than comedian and financial oracle Dominic Frisby. We make predictions, but also consider bizarre forfeits for leaking to the press. With a deal in Ukraine looming, we apply our limited knowledge to developments and wonder why Trump gets golf clubs out of these deals while our guy only gets free glasses. In the Patron only section it's more DEATH STORIES as we trade mortifying failures on stage.

LABOUR TALK TUFF ON IMMMIGRATION - Feat. Pierre Novellie

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0000

The whip-smart Pierre Novellie returns to discuss Shabana apparently being in the Mahmoud to fix the home office. We also ask whether Trump bankrupting the BBC is such a great outcome after all, while also examining some of the emerging splits in MAGA. Then it's onto censorship, as establishment p**ck Paddington forces the removal of jokes about him.

BREAKING NEWS - Starmer Coup Drama

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 16:00:00 -0000

A lot to digest since this week's main episode. I discuss Keir Starmer 'stabbing himself in the front' by letting his own paranoia give Wes Streeting to demonstrate he might be a better option (funnier at least). In another tricky week, growth is down and unemployment is up...I think we all know how this movie ends.

TRUMP VS THE BBC - Feat. Rachel Fairburn

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0000

The lovely Rachel Fairburn returns this week and we get into how the hell the BBC ended up on the wrong side of a fake news argument with Donald. Then it's another beeb scandal as Have I Got News For You airs not one, but two C-bombs! In the Patreon only I get Rachel's view on rising misandry and women who are gutted about giving birth to boys.

BREAKING NEWS - Hammy David Lammy

A lot to digest this week after Rachel Reeves dumped on everyone's cornflakes on Tuesday then David Lammy almost made us throw up our lunch the following day. In between times needy Nigel continued his desire to be a news story once a week by rowing back on everything he said about tax - plus the Tory MP who missed an open goal.

Who Should Pay More Tax? - Feat. Vittorio Angelone

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0000

Was a pleasure to welcome back Vittorio for this week's show, as I took the advantage of a younger man's perspective and asked exactly who should be taxed more (spoiler alert, not me). We also respond to mad article in Vogue suggesting young women are 'embarrassed' about having boyfriends, where we lament not being fully paid up members the patriarchy.

IS THIS GOVT CURSED? - Feat. Mark Steel

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:05:00 -0000

Mark Steel returns this week to shed light on Labour's lowest ever polling, as we contemplate if they're unlucky or just a bit crap? Mark also nearly tempts me other to the Leftie dark side as he puts forward an argument for why we should all gang up on the super rich (especially those giving human jobs to computers). In the Patreon only we pick the bones out of Sarah Pochin's comments about adverts and race.

BREAKING NEWS - Labour Not Very Caerphil

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 13:11:08 -0000

I respond Labour's battering in Caerphilly (and the Tories dismal 2%). I also investigate Farage's flounce out of PMQs and ask whether it's political or performative. The Lib Dems get some flak too, as it turns out they may have been feeding Starmer advance warning of their questions. And then there's the question of the small boats hokey-pokey...

Simon Evans returns this week, on blistering form as we get our teeth into Ed Miliband's precarious career, Zach Polanski's loose grip on economics and Prince Andrew's creative relationship with the truth. I also provide a happy epilogue for the 'Aldershot Debacle' and - in the Patron only - we discuss how silly AI clips might subvert our democracy!

STARMER UNDER THE MICROSCOPE - with Francis Foster

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 01:00:00 -0000

Francis returns for this week's episode as we ponder whether Keir Starmer will be able to escape questions over china and income tax (or whether he had any positive role in the middle-east whatsoever). Then we discuss whether younger women, fuelled by Tik-tok, have become actively hostile to men (or to put it more bluntly 'do birds hate blokes?')
In the Patreon only section we respond to Lenny Henry's call for slavery reparations, but end up talking about unusual first names.

I talk about Donald Trump seemingly having found a way through the middle-east peace process (and how reluctant some people might be to acknowledge that!) I also discuss Starmer's growing unease over the collapse of the Chinese spy trial - govt's not easy eh Keir? Then I finish by analysing what was seen by many as Kemi's career saving speech, amazing what happens when you mention 'tax cut'.

BREAKING NEWS - Labour Square up to Reform

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 14:30:00 -0000

Following the end of Labour Party conference I dissect Labour having a 'Purge' moment and just saying whatever they think about Reform and Nigel Farage. Is it what they think? Probably. Will the public credit their current position given the amount of flip-flopping? Not so sure.

STARMER USES THE 'R' WORD - with Iain Dale

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 01:00:00 -0000

As we're bang in conference season I got political heavyweight Iain Dale to join me for a chat. We discuss Starmer calling Reform's new policy 'racist' and whether that - or indeed ID cards - will blow up in his face. We then turn to the Tories and ask 'What the hell could they do to make anyone care?' In the Patreon only section I respond to a bit of good old fashioned 'Woke gone mad' from a local football association.

LEFT VS RIGHT - with Tom Walker (aka Jonathan Pie)

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 01:00:00 -0000

In these divided times I thought it would be good to reach out across the political divide and get the creator of Jonathan Pie back on. Tom's recent video on discourse provides a great jumping off point for several discussions following the murder of Charlie Kirk (plus we also ask who has more fun, lefties or righties). Then it's on asking 'What is the point of the Lib Dems'? We have slightly differing views on the efficacy of one man banter-train Ed Davey.

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 15:00:00 -0000

In this episode I ponder the frankly preposterous notion that something may have gone right for Keir Starmer.

TRUMP IN THE YOOOKAY - with Jacob Hawley

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 01:00:00 -0000

With Donald Trump set to whirlwind into the UK on Tuesday myself and Jacob Hawley wonder out loud what could go wrong. Has Starmer slept at all in the build up? Will the King go on a weird one? Will Donald bounce Keir on his knee? We also talk about the sad death of Ricky Hatton and try to work out how blokes can keep an eye on their mates....oh and there's a theory as to why Mandelson might've been like a creepy Rory Delap.

So in this episode we have a subject which you can joke about and one which isn't funny at all. On the one hand Peter Mandelson leaves Govt AGAIN, and reminds us that New Labour are something like the British version of the deep state. At the other end of the spectrum there was the disturbing murder of US political activist Charlie Kirk.

Then I ask Mr Doyle about life in the U.S and whether our apocalyptic perception of their politics is in any way accurate.

The excellently insightful Alun Cochrane joined me to ponder whether Angela Rayner is either very normal, or not as normal as she makes out. We also look ahead to Labour going back to school and whether they'll end up taxing luxury dogs. Then we contemplate why young women are moving to 'extreme' left wing politics.

BREAKING NEWS - Starmer Thinks He's Unbroken Britain

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 10:58:07 -0000

In this week's breaking news I'm trying to work out how Keir 'Britain is Broken' Starmer can pivot to an 'everything's fine' narrative.. I also look at the phenomenon of English flags appearing and ask what the progressive can really say in response. Then it's a good old rant about Lewis Goodall's idea that we should have 100% inheritance tax.

DONALD TRUMP: WORLD POLICE with Dom Frisby

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 01:00:00 -0000

The brilliant Dominic Frisby joins me to mull over Trump's attempts to bring peace to the world (and whether it would be sped up by Vladimir Putin finally coming out). We also talk about how you can openly call for violence but still be found not guilty of calling for violence. Dom then explains his excellent new book about Gold while I ask dumb questions.

BREAKING NEWS - Sturgeon Takes The Bait

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 11:50:47 -0000

As I'm still up at the Fringe I've been fascinated by wee Nicola's PR tour for her book where it turns out she did nothing wrong and everyone should just be nicer to her. I also reflected on a whopping 0.3% quarter of economic growth and even more impressive growth in the number of illegal boat crossings.

PENSIONERS 4 PALESTINE with Rachel Fairburn

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 01:00:00 -0000

The brilliant Rachel Fairburn returns this week. We ask whether pensioners right to protest should be protected or if they should be lobbed in a meat-wagon like anyone else. There's also talk of Starmer's unconvincing attempts to become a right-wing Harman. We then reflect on the Edinburgh Fringe and how it got progressively less funny.

I'm back off holiday and there was an absolute doozy of a story to climb into as a govt minister turfed out some tenants as she was about to bring through legislation making that illegal! In other news Nigel Farage has been on his 'Britain is F**cked' Tour and there have been some disputes over his numbers.

BREAKING NEWS #48 - Starmer gripped by Pannick

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 16:07:00 -0000

Had to do another episode ahead of going away until next Friday, not least because Ole Slippery Starmer's Palestine plan seems to be unravelling quickly - even for him. Not just that, Peter Kyle has been out calling other politicians nonces while young people seem to be breaking for Jeremy and Nigel. I ask 'why are young women so easily seduced by the far Left?'

FRINGE CANCELS COMIC BEFORE EVEN STARTING with Francis Foster

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 01:00:00 -0000

Delighted to have Francis Foster back on the show as we consider the impact of the online safety act for for expression (porn, basically). We react also to the super tense press conference with Trump & Starmer looking like a man waiting for an elderly relative to say something dodgy. We then look at the issue of two Jewish comics cancelled by their Edinburgh venues despite their shows not being political. I guess it's Fringe cancellation season!

WATER, TEENAGERS & EPSTEIN’S LIST with Ian Stone

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 01:00:00 -0000

Delighted to welcome back fellow veteran clubber Ian Stone this week. As Parliament headed to recess it gave us the chance to consider the water review (and make puns about it). We also reflected on giving 16 year olds the vote (they'll probably end up voting for Nigel or Jeremy). Then we chatted Trump for the first time in a while: is he on the Epstein list? Is he going a bit mad? All shall be revealed...

Didn't think there would be enough news for a breaking news then it all kicks off! BLAM - Starmer suspends 4 Labour backbenchers. KAPOW - Tories & Labour up to their necks in the Afghan data leak row (which I've tried my best to unpack so you don't have to). Plus I bemoan having to multi-task.

LABOUR’S UNHOLY UNION with Simon Evans

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 01:00:00 -0000

The brilliant Simon Evans returns to discuss a bit of family friction between Labour and the Unions (we also reflect on how it might sound hearing Angela say 'silly stunts'). Also - after some classic Noughties sitcoms have had trigger warnings imposed - we ask what IS the point? In the Patreon only section we ask if Oasis' reunion heralds the return of guitar bands and young men acting like kn*bs.

GAY OR QUEER? with Scott Capurro

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 01:00:00 -0000

A brilliant new guest this week as Scott Capurro makes his WMPT. For my money, Scott is one of the most genuinely controversial comics i've worked with and it was great to get his uncompromising takes on everything from a recent Labour poll on Starmer to the fact London Pride marches aren't what they were. In the Patreon only we discuss offence in comedy and why Scott might get more than cancelled if he release one particular routine...

An interesting episode as music becomes politics with Kneecap and Bob Vylan making headlines from the festival. Simon Brodkin joins me to discuss where criticism of Israel stops and anti-semitism beings (and also how hot the kneecap lads must've been in the balaclava). We also chat about Starmer's worst seven day period since becoming PM. We also ask whether he thinks the 'two tier' nickname is actually quite cool.

IRAN OR I-RAN?

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 23:45:00 -0000

Had a late guest drop out, which gave me the chance to get stuck into some fairly big news stories which have broke since last week. From Trump bombing Iran's nuclear facilities to Starmer seemingly not having a view either way. From bad economic news to Farage robbing the rich to feed the poor. I also discuss the BBC News presenter bold enough to correct some language around pregnancy.

With a U-turn and bad jobs news on the way in, Rachel Reeves still doled out the cash (even if she made it sound like a punishment). More for defence and the NHS plus good times if you've got shares in Taylor Wimpey. But will tax go up? (not a rhetorical question).

DO WE NEED ANOTHER THATCHER? - with Iain Dale

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 01:00:00 -0000

Iain Dale joined this week to talk to me about his new biography on Magaret Thatcher. We discussed the biggest misconceptions about the the Iron Lady (including how left-wing she was as education secretary and might not have been the first 'milk snatcher'). We also discuss solid reasons why modern politicians are unlikely to ever match her grit, even if she remains a divisive figure. In the Patreon only section I ask Iain how Lady Thatch would've approached this week's spending review.

A GOOD TIME TO INVADE - with Dominic Frisby

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 01:00:00 -0000

WMPT favourite Dom Frisby was back on the show to discuss Starmer's big talk on defence. Do the policies match up? And should we show our kids rubbish war films? We also talk about whether the Left teasing Trump led to a rise in steel tariffs (and why we love the way he says 'nasty'). In the Patreon only section we ask if the French are losing their cool as they ban smoking on beaches.

BREAKING NEWS #42 - Starmer Vs Farage

Fri, 30 May 2025 13:45:00 -0000

Lots of breaking news since Wednesday so I got my teeth into the growing beef between the PM and Nigel. We also consider Robert Jenrick going full vigilante and scoring himself a viral hit. Over in the states Donald is getting a bit thin-skinned over TACO while his former BFF Elon is off to pastures new.

LABOUR'S SIMMERING RIVALRIES - (includes live stand-up)

Wed, 28 May 2025 00:00:00 -0000

I get into some of the murmurings of discontent around the Labour Party (including some gossip I heard about the chancellor!) We also look at Farage's big speech and wonder how he ended up pro-benefits. Then there's the decline of Doctor Who: is it another scalp for woke or something else? In the Patreon only I discuss a brand new book about the cover up around Joe Biden's health.

BREXIT BETRAYAL OR PRAGMATIC RESET? with Rachel Fairburn

Tue, 20 May 2025 01:00:00 -0000

The lovely Rachel was back on the show today for another in-person recording. We got our teeth into the big news on the EU and conclude that people will probably like the passport stuff but hate the fishing. Then there's the Lineker news, first red card of his career. In the Patreon only we get irate about the suggestion that speed limits could come down to 10mph.

BREAKING NEWS #41 - Bad Boys of the Centre-Left

Thu, 15 May 2025 12:46:00 -0000

So much politics since the main show I had to squeeze this out. From Gary Lineker sharing posts echoing the imagery of 1930's Germany to Keir Starmer being accused of sexism and sounding like Enoch Powell in the same week. It's been a mad one!

THE END OF WOKE? - With Andrew Doyle

Tue, 13 May 2025 01:00:00 -0000

Special episode this week as I chat to Andrew Doyle about his new book 'The End of Woke'. He's on great form talking about some of the mental stuff we've lived through, but also turning his spotlight on the cultural Right. We also have a good chat about Titania Mcgrath and his fictional character once got satirised as a real person by Private Eye.

BREAKING NEWS #40 - Trade Deal / Call Me Donald

Fri, 09 May 2025 11:00:00 -0000

Following the historic trade deal with the US that isn't a trade deal, I look into the facts and weirdness of the announcement. From Keir constantly calling him 'Donald' to whether it'll mean anything good for Britain. I also ask why Trump seems to be surprised that Britain has anything good going for it and why they did the whole thing on a Sky call from 2002.

LABOUR'S GROOMING GANG GAFFE & TRUMP'S MOVIE TAX with Francis Foster

Wed, 07 May 2025 01:00:00 -0000

Francis Foster returns this week for more sibling bickering (we almost had a punch up over films). We talk about Lucy Powell's horribly flippant remarks about a C4 doc on grooming gangs, plus how Labour were considering fudging their winter fuel snafu. In Donald world there are movie tariffs which threaten global production but I also get angry thinking about Harry Potter being made in Latvia.

NIGEL'S BIG NIGHT? With Tom Walker (aka Jonathan Pie)

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0000

Bit of a change this week as I'm actually in a studio with Tom Walker (we definitely get a bit giddy at times as it's easier to interrupt one another in person). We talk about the upcoming local elections, including Labour's rubbishness, impending Tory doom, gains for Reform and no-one caring about the Lib Dems. There's also analysis of Trump's first 100 days in office, but mainly from the point of view of 'content'.

BREAKING NEWS #38 - Kemi Questions Keir's Balls

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 12:47:00 -0000

This is a bit of a ranty one. I get my knickers in a twist over Ed Miliband being like a character from Despicable Me. Then I climb into Starmer for yet more shapeshifting. Then I have a right old moan about some women who couldn't bear to see their husbands having fun.

POPE IDOL with Ria Lina

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0000

This week I'm talking to Ria Lina about how all of entertainment could learn a thing or two from choosing a new Pope. We also chat about the 'bombshell' MRP poll suggesting Reform could be the biggest party at the next election (and how much would Farage love bossing Tories around). In the Patreon only we look at the upcoming first 100 days of Trump and conclude that sometimes we should all be more Donald.

BREAKING NEWS #34 - Does MSM Care About the Plight of Boys?

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 15:15:00 -0000

Following the success of Adolescence, there's been a long overdue discussion of the challenges facing boys and young men. Sadly, most mainstream discussion sees it as a drinking game where you mention Andrew Tate. I discuss the real problems and why they're so fearful to go near them (I also chat about Starmer being irritated at PMQS & why Putin might be mugging off Trump).

LABOUR'S MENTAL PROBLEMS with Erich McElroy

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 02:00:00 -0000

This week Erich McElroy rejoins to give his expertise on how American Lefties are coping with the Trump era (spoiler alert - not great). Closer to home, we look at Labour tightening out of work benefits for people claiming mental illness and in the Patreon only chat about why Covid is like the n**cey uncle in the family.

COVID AMNESIA ANNIVERSARY with Alun Cochrane

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 02:00:00 -0000

Lovely to have old happiness vacuum Alun Cochrane back with the show. We discuss the ongoing Reform soap opera and whether Starmer owes Trump a pint for taking the pressure off. Then we look at the 5 year anniversary of the pandemic and ask whether some restrictions might've been a teensy bit mental.

BREAKING NEWS #33 - JD Vance In His Pants

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 12:44:00 -0000

Such a busy week I had to crank out another episode. I try to return to more UK based issues, with Labour claiming the 'world's changed' and Reform having their first lover's tiff with Nigel & Rupert. In Donald world I ask whether his just really likes Putin and whether JD Vance should think before opening his mouth.

WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING A SUIT? With Pierre Novellie

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:00:00 -0000

*this was recorded BEFORE Trump paused military aid, if you're wondering why we don't mention it*

This week Pierre Novellie joins me to ask if the Oval Office bust-up is a 'I remember where I was when' moment. We discuss the micro-fibres of the exchange and wonder if it's only natural that the guy defending his country might be a little defensive. Then we discuss whether this is Keir Starmer's moment and if so, can he only do it away from home.

In the Patreon only section we react to the news young women now earn considerably more than young men - do we need DEI for young blokes?!?!

BREAKING NEWS #32 - Little Keir's Trip to America

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 16:16:00 -0000

So much to pick on from little Keir's trip to see big Donald. Broadly speaking a success, but is it more because of what didn't go wrong than what went right? We look at all the important moments, but also the silly ones too - like Trump praising Keir's speech. WTF??

CAN STARMER HANDLE THE DRAMA? With Dominic Frisby

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 02:00:00 -0000

The brilliant Dom Frisby joins us to speculate on how stressed Keir must be at the prospect of stepping on the Trump train. We also discuss the possibility of a British DOGE and the recent election results in Germany (with very little insight). In the Patreon only section I play Dom's brilliantly offensive song about Ofcom.

THINGS I HATE ABOUT COMEDY with Seann Walsh

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 02:00:00 -0000

As I'm away this week I pre-recorded a lovely chat with Seann Walsh. It's a nice break from hard news as we contemplate the rising price of eating out, where to get the cheapest petrol & moaned about the comedy industry. In the Patreon only section we discuss a recent study suggesting women are more generous than men.

RAYNER DANGER & WHATSAPP MISHAPS

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 02:00:00 -0000

Late pull-out today (that's what she said) so it's just me today. But boy is there a lot to catch up on! From dodgy Whatsapps to Angela Rayner making moves. I also discuss the idea of 'Have it all dads' but end up looking at stupid gift ideas. In the Patreon only I analyse why Gen Z wouldn't fight for their country and whether they'd do it for vouchers.

THE KEIR'S SPEECH - with Iain Dale

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 02:00:00 -0000

Iain Dale joins me to take a deep-dive on an absolute Pandora's box of embarrassing scoops on the Labour Party. From Keir getting voice training to Angela calling Prince Andrew a n**ce we gleefully climb into the juicy bits. We also look at the mysterious disappearance of Sadiq's pronouns and in the Patreon only section we walk Trumpy tariffs.

BREAKING NEWS #29 - Rachel's Growing Pains

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 16:00:00 -0000

Following Rachel's big speech about growth I get into the reeds of Labour on their knees begging the City to like them. I discuss whether she should in fact go for four runways, why Labour politicians shouldn't try to sound like Trump & why Reeves Vs Sadiq is like Alien Vs Predator.

The lovely Rachel Fairburn joins us this week to discuss Starmer finally getting a name-check from the Donald. We also suggest weird ideas for growth to Rachel from accounts.

TRUMP 2 - THE SEQUEL with Francis Foster

Triggernometry's Francis Foster joins me to look back at an eventful start to the big Trump sequel. From the Village People to accusations of Nazi salutes we deep dive on all things inauguration. Then we ask how the hell Keir Starmer gets in Trump's good books, while also scratching our heads at Brexiteers starting to sound like Remainers.

Did D.E.I Just D.I.E? - with Simon Evans

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 02:00:00 -0000

Simon Evans joins me one week late but full of interesting take on whether the nickname 'Rachel from accounts' is sexist & whether Starmer is the man to lead the charge on AI.

BREAKING NEWS #27 - Rachel Battered by Bonds

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 16:30:00 -0000

Mental week so here's another episode. I start by analysing one of the best PMQs for a while, but deciding that Kemi shaded it with her 'Leader not a lawyer'. Then, with the economy sliding, we ask which room have the grown ups gone into? Because it might be the panic room. I end by looking at some mad stuff said by Trump which might not be so mad after all.

ELON..AND ON..AND ON with Ian Stone

Wed, 08 Jan 2025 02:00:00 -0000

First proper episode of the New Year and there's plenty to react to. Legitimate calls for an inquiry into rape gangs alongside Elon taking a 'keen interest' in UK politics and straying outside the boundaries of truth. Ian Stone joins me to discuss all this, plus we ask whether Labour's social care plan can be taken at face value (but ended up making childish jokes).

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 02:00:00 -0000

In the traditional end of year episode I reflect on my predictions for 2024 (shockingly bad) but have no hesitation making a bunch of terrible new ones. There's bad news for Rachel from Accounts and Starmer, plus Kemi might have a lot on her plate (even it's not sandwiches).

BREAKING NEWS #26 - The one where Rachel schmoozes with the EU

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 02:00:00 -0000

I ask whether the right-wing press are correct that Labour are planning on selling out to the EU? We also look at the govt getting some progress with deportation but nowhere with boats. Then I have some Christmas advice for Kemi (and some criticism for people who take too long at the front of queues).

A busy week which fully warranted an extra episode. Not just me hob-sobbing with the political elites or having my whole career defined by a tweet about Paddington Bear, but Keir Starmer also laid out his six political milestones. At a film studio, but with all the panache of Mr Bean.

BIT OF A GREGG WALLACE with Alun Cochrane

Tue, 03 Dec 2024 02:00:00 -0000

Was delighted to have the very funny Alun Cochrane back on the show. As well some talk about horror-show Christmas gigs we reflected on the assisted dying debate, the transport secretary getting thrown under a bus and whether being a bit 'Gregg Wallace' is now officially a thing.

HAVE A DAY OFF ELON with Jacob Hawley

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 13:52:00 -0000

A rare in-person record this week as myself and Jacob Hawley boshed a coffee each and probably spoke too fast. We discussed the frivolous e-petition, but also the hypocrisy of some Remoaners. We also got annoyed with Elon for his constant obsession with Britain and reflected on whether 'Bert' is a weird name for a storm.

BREAKING NEWS #24 - STARMFARMHARM (also Feat. The Man Whisperer)

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 11:13:00 -0000

Had to crack out another episode this week to deal with the Farmer protests, and an interesting clash at PMQs. Then - in the week of International Men's Day - The Man Whisperer rejoins us to chat about the big issues facing blokes and young men in particular (I also make some immature jokes about porn).

IT'S THE ECONOMY STOOPID with Simon Evans

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 09:23:00 -0000

This week Simon Evans joins us to ask if Labour have turned the economy around....and are now steering it into a wall at high speed. We also look at Trump's picks and compare the glitzy nature of US politics versus our 'Colin from Accounts' era. Then there's the assisted dying bill, where we assess the nuances while also making cheap jokes.

TRUMP FALLOUT - PART DEUX with Andrew Doyle

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 12:00:00 -0000

The brilliant Andrew Doyle returns to ask whether young women voted Trump because they hate themselves? (no) We also look at what it means for the UK. Will Starmer cosy up to Donald or will it all end like the final scene of Love Actually? In the Patreon only bonus section we ask whether Justin Welby should resign - also whether he's too old for a name like 'Justin'.

BREAKING NEWS #23 Donald Wears The Troosers

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 11:57:00 -0000

A momentous week. First up I reflect on seeing Kemi make a mixed debut as I attended PMQS and realised the Tories really are a small bunch these days. Then it's the US election and the incredible return of Donald Trump. I reflect on everything the Democrats did wrong and why insulting the electorate until they change their mind isn't necessarily the best strategy.

SNEAKY STARMER HIDDEN KAMALA with Rachel Fairburn

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 12:00:00 -0000

Rachel Fairburn makes a welcome return to discuss the fallout from Labour's budget, the coronation of queen Kemi and whether Kamala will beat Trump by stealth. We also discuss why the friendliest sounding pubs are the most violent and why people who return from short periods abroad with new accents are the worst humans alive.

I DIDN'T BUDGET FOR THIS with Iain Dale

Tue, 29 Oct 2024 17:00:00 -0000

I brought in the big gun Iain to discuss a huuuuuge (copyright Donald Trump) week for UK and US politics. First we discuss the budget and Labour's inability to define working people or exactly who will benefit in the long run. After that we look at Kemi as the likely next Tory leader. Then it's over the pond to look at the final stages of the Presidential race and why maybe comedians aren't the best booking.

BREAKING NEWS #22 - Trump Vs Starmer

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 10:42:00 -0000

Big old week of news so I cast my eye back on Donald taking on the Labour Party while the same boring old celebs trot out for Kamala. I also ask if Tucker Carlson is a bit weird. Then there's Wes Streeting's attempts to ask for suggestions to make the NHS better. I mainly advocate hot nurses.

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 01:00:00 -0000

Very funny episode this week as Baroness Hazarika gets lucky to join me in the first week for a while where Labour haven't been s***ing the bed. We talk about the fights they're willing to have with the Right and Left in the upcoming budget. We also talk male objectification and whether MSM have a hypocritical blind-spot. In the Patreon only section we talk about why Trump flipping burgers is a genius move.

I was delighted to have big time Konstantin Kisin back on the show this week. We both worried that Labour might say they're big business while simultaneously scaring the crap out of investors. We also spoke about why Elon was not allowed to Britain but might be allowed into space.

Delighted to welcome the most Italian sounding person of all time to this week's podcast.

We also discuss offence in comedy and why Vittorio had one of his shows cancelled for a joke about Valentine's cards.

I'm not sure there's ever been so much to cover from a three day period. From Starmer's 6k refund, to Lord Alli's investigation, giving away the Chagos Islands, a drop in investment and private school numbers.....the Labour Party have been BUSY. Great for my podcast but maybe not the country.

BREAKING NEWS #20 - Crouching Starmer, Hidden Sausage

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 11:15:00 -0000

100% had to do a Breaking News this week after Starmer's sausage accidentally slipped out. But it's not just the silly stuff, Labour have serious political issues unravelling and not a lot to say about it. We also look ahead to the Tory conference and the concept of 'having a quiet one'. Very quiet.

BREAKING NEWS #19 - Donald Trump Pet Detective

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 11:42:00 -0000

Had to do another episode this week, following the US Presidential Debate and Donald Trump emerging as the guardian of canines and felines. But I ask whether American voters will be swayed by the nonsense? I also look at Labour's junk food ban and wonder why we can't hold people to account for eating too much.

Marcus returns this week (and there's a bombshell reveal at the end as to his current position on Brexit). We talk about Labour's terrible handling of the Winter Fuel allowance changes and whether Ed Davey (Ed Samey anyone?) provides meaningful opposition.

Triggernometry's Francis Foster joins me this week as we bicker (flirt?) our way through a torrid week for Labour. We ask whether the public are buying all of Starmer's 'black holes'. We also discuss the Oasis ticket debacle and conclude that old people are tired and young people don't like music. Francis also informs me of dark forces within the comedy industry trying to cancel his gigs...

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 01:00:00 -0000

Tom Walker returns this week and I gleefully enjoyed putting questions to him about recent cronyism in the Labour government. We also explored how left-wing comics like him are adapting to Labour being in charge and I got very upset about the price of poppadoms with pickle.

Fri, 23 Aug 2024 11:56:00 -0000

I'm up at the Edinburgh Fringe but felt like I had to respond to the glitzy luvvie fest that was the US Democratic Committee. Lots of rappers and jokes and about Donald Trump's penis, but did Kamala deliver the goods or just more stuff for people to meme in years to come?

Also I tear into a hilariously woke announcement from the head of the Edinburgh Fringe.

THE IRON FIST OF LABOUR with Simon Evans

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 15:00:00 -0000

Simon Evans re-joins this week on brilliant comic & analytical form. We discuss the worrying authoritarian tendencies being show by Labour (and whether you can impersonate Angela Rayner just by singing Oasis lyrics). We also consider the news that Gen Z are reverting back to old hobbies like weaving and knitting (maybe to save money?). In the Patreon only we discuss the case of a woman arrested for silently praying (you can't think anything these days).

This week Ian Stone joins me from the Fringe. We talk about everything from the riots to the Tory leadership race (someone has to) and whether Trump's dentures will last the pace. There's also some men's mental health chat, where me and Stoney realise despite all our big talk we never 'check in' on eachother. In the Patreon only section we put our battlefield knowledge to the test and decide that Ukraine's incursion into Russia might be good or bad.

OFFENCE, COMEDY and Mr Tom Stade

With the Edinburgh Fringe in full swing I finally got one of my comedy heroes on the show. Tom Stade has been giving zero F's for as long as I remember. He doesn't set out to offend but he'll never apologise when he does. We have a great chat about woke comedy and where to draw the line (if there's a line at all).

Fri, 02 Aug 2024 15:15:00 -0000

After an explosive and troubling week I check in again for a catch-up. We discuss Rowdy Rachel, Two-Tier Kier and disgraced BBC news anchor Huw Edwards. Live once again from the Farringdon Travelodge. It's my version of Sinatra at the Four Seasons.

BREAKING NEWS #16 - THE KING'S SPEECH (not the movie)

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 12:18:00 -0000

There's been a collective spaff of news since Tuesday so here I focus on Labour's first King's Speech and ask if all it will amount to is a few quid off your leccy. I also wonder whether Starmer is holding back votes for kids because the kids like The Greens & Reform.

TRUMP'S DEFIANCE & DADDY DOWNING STREET with Ian Moore

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 11:00:00 -0000

This week comedian & novelist Ian Moore joins me to discuss just how close America came to civil war and why people being unpopular at school should preclude them from owning guns. I then ask why the press are crushing on Starmer but not mentioning how hot his wife is.

POLITICAL COMEDY UNDER LABOUR with Matt Forde

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 01:00:00 -0000

Matt Forde returns this week and we clash in a reasonably good-natured manner about the incoming Labour govt. Will David Lammy go six months without a gaffe? Will Starmer ever sort his weird voice out? Does anyone care what the Tories have to say anymore. We also discuss how comedy will operate now Labour are the target.

BREAKING NEWS #15 Post Election Therapy Breakdown

Sat, 06 Jul 2024 12:41:00 -0000

So Keir Starmer is Prime Minister. A new yawn has broken, but there were so many sub-plots on a mad night. Tories down but not entirely out? Lib Dems needing a coach rather than people carrier for all their MPs. Reform beating expectations and the SNP doing a 'Scotland in the group stage'. The election is over but the debate is only just beginning.

* ELECTION WEEK SPECIAL with Mark Steel *

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 09:53:00 -0000

It's a bumper episode this week as Mark Steel joins me to chew over the lows and also the lows of this campaign. We then move on to predicting everything from the size of the Labour majority and whether the Tory campaign is the worst thing that's ever happened anywhere to what kind of lectern ole slippery Starmer will go for once he's PM.

BREAKING NEWS #15 Caffeine Rishi & Sleepy Joe Biden

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 12:14:00 -0000

Two big debates to respond to in the this episode. In the first caffeine Rishi had probably his best outing while slippery Starmer looked like he'd over-slept. In the US debate Joe Biden looked like he'd had a nap which started in the late Seventies.

EP 255 - Damaging Flutter + Farage and Russia (with LEO KEARSE)

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 01:00:00 -0000

Leo Kearse returns to WMPT in characteristically uncompromising form. We talk about Gamblegate dragging on and Starmer facing no tougher question than why he went to watch Taylor Swift. Meanwhile naughty Nigel Farage is on the back foot after being accused of apologism for Putin. I also somehow manage to tease out Leo's softer side when we talk about pregnancy from the male perspective.

EP 254 - Election reaches the Half-way Snark (with SCOTT BENNETT)

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 01:00:00 -0000

This week I had a chat with Scott Bennett who is funny and Northern. At the half-way mark in the election we reflected on the stand-out moments - from Rishi in the rain to the mystery of Keir's dad's profession. We also wonder again why journos can't deal with Farage. In the Patreon only we discuss the Euros, not least why Lineker was so badly dressed.

EP 253 - Rishi's Sky Dishi & Slippery Starmer Karma (with HUGO RIFKIND)

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 16:23:00 -0000

I'm back from Ibiza so thank god I had Hugo Rifkind to help 'remind' me of the week's big political news. From Rishi's Sky Dishi to Slippery Stamer's Corbyn karma & Nigel's one man political blunderbuss. We also talk about Hugo's excellent new book 'Rabbits' which has guns, drugs and loads of cool references to the Nineties.

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 10:46:00 -0000

Another BREAKING NEWS episode. I do a deep dive on the big debate. Why was Starmer blinking so much? How much coffee had Rishi had? Why was Julie Etchingham acting like their step-mum? And will Nigel Farage ruin it for both of them?

BREAKING NEWS #12 Slippery Starmer & Dodgy Donald Trump

Fri, 31 May 2024 13:04:00 -0000

I climb into slippery Starmer's cloak & dagger purge of the Left and end up defending Diane Abbott (??). I also question whether Ed Davey is looking at a career and theatre - and of course we had to break down the landmark ruling in the Trump case. If he goes to jail it could be an HBO show.

Then I analyse Starmer's interviews and why he acts like a wounded fawn whenever someone questions his principles. Plus - for balance - there's a quick mention of Ed Davey falling off a paddleboard.

I review Labour's launch of their 'first steps' strategy to win the next election. There's some praise for Keir seeming less like a mortgage salesman, but also questions remain over how bad he is at answering questions. And of course there's still his voice, there'll always be his voice...

Wed, 15 May 2024 01:00:00 -0000

This week Simon Evans joins me to discuss whether Rishi's big speech was scaremongering or if it actually had some good points. I also go in pretty hard on human macademia nut Keir Starmer (there will be letters). We also discuss the Baby Reindeer controversy and if there are double standards at work because the stalker is female. The Patreon only section looks at celebs being boycotted for not 'saying enough' on Gaza.

This week I catch up on all the fallout from the local elections which seemed to get worse for the Tories the longer things went. I discuss whether Andy Street was harshly dealt with and if the Greens expected their victorious candidate in Leeds to say 'Allahu Akbar'. We also look at Bud Light rowing back from social justice issues and wonder if it's part of a wider trend.

There's also one of my favourite ever moments as Seann starts an observation about plastic bottles which he doesn't get to finish....

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 18:19:00 -0000

In this episode I try to give a very normal bloke response to the findings of the Cass Report. I won't lie, it's a heavy subject, so luckily there was also a fun YouGov survey this week asking the public silly questions about Sunak and Starmer which I get stuck into. I also reveal one of the most childish things I've ever done.

EP 244 - Politics and Murder with STIG ABELL

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 01:00:00 -0000

This week I talk to broadcaster and write Stig Abell about politics and murder. Stig presents a breakfast show and gives on the background on politicians who say stupid things or - indeed - nothing at all. Then it's on to murder. Stig is a crime novelist and I challenge him to justify why it's ok to be entertained by people being killed.

EP 243 - JK Rowling and the Deathly Scottish Hate Crime Bill

Wed, 03 Apr 2024 11:27:00 -0000

This week I climb into the Scottish hate crime bill cluster**** and how JK Rowling was able to call Humza's bluff. I also tentatively wonder if the Tory backlash has got a bit excessive. Additionally, there's another FREE audiobook chapter from THE BRITISH BLOKE DECODED.

BREAKING NEWS #7 - Hunt's Budget 'Limbs'

Thu, 07 Mar 2024 16:00:00 -0000

In this breaking news I mull over Jeremy Hunt's long budget with small measures. I celebrate the NI cut whilst wondering if the fuel duty cut is an ongoing feature of British public life, like the DFS sale. I also ask why - whether it's Labour or Tories - I have a fundamental need to believe the good news. Oh and there are some fat jokes too.

EP 238 - Political Sh******ery

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 02:00:00 -0000

It's another solo ep this week (following a late guest drop-out) but that did give a chance to reflect on a rancorous week in British politics. From Labour's mafioso style 'leaning' on Lindsay Hoyle to Lee Anderson going in two footed under the Ref's nose - it's all here. I try to approach it with nuance which means I'll probably annoy everybody.

Plus I include a FREE AUDIOBOOK CHAPTER from my book THE BRITISH BLOKE DECODED.
