  • INSTABAN: Should Kemi Ban Socia Media? - Feat. Ian Stone

    INSTABAN: Should Kemi Ban Socia Media? - Feat. Ian Stone
    Jan 13 2026

    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

    BREAKING NEWS - Labour's Problem with Pubs
    Jan 9 2026

    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.

  • Trump Starts 2026 With a Bang - Feat. Alun Cochrane

    Trump Starts 2026 With a Bang - Feat. Alun Cochrane
    Jan 6 2026
    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

    2026 POLITICAL PREDICTIONS
    Dec 30 2025
    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.

  • CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2025 - Feat. Romesh Ranganathan

    CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2025 - Feat. Romesh Ranganathan
    Dec 18 2025
    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...

  • Who's Had A Good 2025? - Feat. Simon Evans

    Who's Had A Good 2025? - Feat. Simon Evans
    Dec 9 2025
    In this bumper episode myself and Simon Evans consider all the big moments from the main political parties and give their leaders a score out of 10. No spoilers, but it's extra tuition for Ed Davey, keep it up for Kemi, gold star for Nigel and special measures for Starmer.
    In the patron only Simon gives us a DEATH STORY to make the blood run cold.

  • BREAKING NEWS - Nigel Farage Vs The Black & White Minstrels

    BREAKING NEWS - Nigel Farage Vs The Black & White Minstrels
    Dec 5 2025
    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.

  • Rachel Reeves or Rachel Misleads? - Feat. Konstantin Kisin

    Rachel Reeves or Rachel Misleads? - Feat. Konstantin Kisin
    Dec 2 2025
    The brilliant Konstantin Kisin makes a welcome return to discuss the storm around the chancellor after her 'creative' relationship with hard economic facts. We also discuss Your Party dramatically changing their name to 'Your Party'. 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.
