November 16, 2021 00:01 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MBNo wonder the Conservatives want everyone to get back to work, as that way they won't feel so lonely with their entire party having 12 jobs each. And of course focusing on all of them except the one they were elected to do. Meanwhile global leaders have agreed at Cop26 that they'd prefer to be underwater rulers. Plus a chat with Cllr Mathew Hulbert (@MathewHulbert) about the ins and outs of parish and town councils. FIND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LOCAL COUNCILS HERE: https://www.nalc.gov...
The Cruel World of Politics
November 09, 2021 00:01 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBA Conservative MP has finally resigned! But not because they admitted wrong doing, more because they're sad everyone else knows they did. Parliamentary sleaze if you don't please and everyone wants to keep all their second and third jobs while ignoring their first one they were elected for. Plus a chat with James Murray (@James_BG) at Business Green (@BusinessGreen) on why Cop26 is important and possibly hopeful too.

Panic Surviving
November 02, 2021 00:01 - 51 minutes - 47.3 MBSomehow the podcast has made it to its 250th episode. But how long will the planet last? Well with Boris Johnson hosting the COP26 probably only another 5 minutes or so as he forgets its to do with tackling climate change and thinks its about copping off with the staff. All the acronyms this week with COP26, G20, Budget 21 and a chat with Dr Garfield Benjamin (@g8enjamin) about social media and the Online Harms Bill.

Mercifully Low
October 25, 2021 23:01 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBA sort of Halloween episode but only because the general state of things is terrifying. No guest this week but many jokes about poo rivers, mercifully low deaths and Johnson wanting to feed people to animals. Plus a wee look at the upcoming Budget that everything has already been leaked to the press about so we thankfully don't have to watch it.

Face To Face
October 18, 2021 23:01 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBYes the past week of political news has been pretty bleak with the tragic murder of David Amess, but we must also remember that it wasn't all bad as Matt Hancock lost he job he thought he already had. GP league tables, net zero reports and somehow jokes about the last week even though it was a miserable one. Plus a chat with Dr Helen Salisbury (@HelenRSalisbury) at Independent Sage (@IndependentSage) about the current treatment of GPs and how Covid really hasn't gone away. BRITISH BOXERS –...
Skills, Skills, Skills
October 11, 2021 23:01 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBBoris Johnson is on holiday again, so that means, as we all know, there are several crisis going on at once. Pigs are on fire even though gas for that sort of thing is too expensive and David Frost is having a tantrum about his former self signing things. Plus a chat with Jonn Elledge (@JonnElledge) about all the party conferences, which are the exact opposite of his new book.

The British Renaissance
October 04, 2021 23:01 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MBIt's that miserable time of the year again. Yes that's right, the Conservative conference which this year has the theme of 'Alternate Reality' or appears to considering how nothing that's being mentioned has any baring on our current existence. A look at all that, plus Starmer's broken hairdryer of a speech and a chat with Patrick Brown (@Paddy_JBrown) at the UBI Lab Network (@UBILabNetwork) all about Universal Basic Income.

The Land Of Empty
September 27, 2021 23:01 - 27 minutes - 25 MBWe're out of everything, except podcasts. No need to panic listen to this show while you panic buy petrol, panic use up all your heating at once and panic neck CO2 straight from the turkey stunner. All the shortages, Labour having enough fuel to set burn to their standards to the ground and weird Kermit The Frog mentions in this interview free episode of the podcast.

September 20, 2021 23:01 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MBA quick look at the cabinet reshuffle, recorded before Tiernan went on holiday for a week so there's every chance it'll all have changed by the time you hear this because UK politics is so stupid stupid.

The Pandemic Is Over Apart From The Pandemic
September 13, 2021 23:01 - 58 minutes - 53.3 MBThe pandemic is over, well apart from the pandemic. But if you ignore the pandemic, which the government are, then its definitely finished. Which it isn't. Now time for repairing things which of course you have to do and pay for because it's all your fault. This week is on Coronavirus Act repealings, National Insurance risings, Priti Patel standards breachings and a chat with Arthur Webber (@BernieTranders) about just why Transgender rights is such an inflammatory issue.

Back To How It Was Before
September 06, 2021 23:01 - 29 minutes - 27 MBThe podcast returns from its summer break in slightly truncated form.

July 12, 2021 23:01 - 1 hour - 70.1 MBFootball sadly isn't coming home or trying to settle in England for three years despite being a European citizen which the Home Office wouldn't allow. But its ok because we still have racism and Covid which refuse to leave home and move on with their lives so we still feel like we have a busy house. More on restrictions lifting as things get worse, the Policing Bill, Elections Bills and Borders Bill. Plus defence writer Joe Glenton (@joejglenton) on his upcoming new book 'Veteranhood'. PRE-...
Doing PR For Covid - Restriction Lifting, Giant Flagging, Gesture Making and Stephanie Wong at Act Build Change
July 05, 2021 23:01 - 1 hour - 70 MBIf not now, then when? Asks the Prime Minister as though if we waited any longer to open up the country we might actually deal with Covid properly and then he'll have to actually do some work. Infection rates are high but it's ok as we'll learn to live with the virus, you know, by letting people die. Token gestures by the PM that doesn't do gestures, Batley and Spen by-election and why now isn't great for everything trying to return to normal. Plus a chat with Stephanie Wong (@StephWong__) a...
Bye Bye Startled Butterbean - Matt Hancock's resignation, Javid's return, 5 years of Brexit
June 28, 2021 23:01 - 27 minutes - 25 MBMatt Hancock has gone, but not for any of the reasons he should have done. Weirder still is knowing someone found him attractive, though it could just be his good sense of PPE contracts. Javid is back and ready to pay as little attention to what the country needs as Hancock did, and somehow its 5 years since the people voted Brexit and since then its all gone very well apart from everything. No guest this week due to life, but there is every description of Matt Hancock ever said on the podca...

June 21, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBMatt Hancock is f*cking hopeless. Not my words, well not this week anyway, but the words of Boris Johnson. But isn't everything right now? Chesham and Amersham say no, and the Ed Davey proves them wrong with a tiny orange hammer.

June 14, 2021 23:01 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBMore restrictions for everyone, chilled British sausages for no one, socially un-distant BBQs for world leaders.

Damp Squibs All Round - Foreign Aid Cuts, Liechtenstein boost time, Jeff Bezos will know about your eczema and Jack Brown on his book The London Problem
June 07, 2021 23:03 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBYet again the government is being helpful by insisting on not helping lots of people. Though to be fair, based on how rubbish they are at most things, maybe that is actually better than them dealing out foreign aid and getting involved. School budgets, trade deals with Liechtenstein and Michael Gove is Pestilence the Horseman of the Apocalypse and I claim my £5.

May 31, 2021 23:01 - 17 minutes - 16.1 MBJust the gags this week. A guest-less mini episode looking at the 7 hours of Dominic Cummings saying what we've all known for a year, Boris Johnson not having a clue about anything and getting married, again.

May 24, 2021 23:01 - 58 minutes - 54.1 MBThe government are denying they said a thing that they all said on telly and we all saw it, there's a few new variants in town and Priti Patel has to put her job on her coat or she'll forget that she isn't a weird vigilante.

Both Sides - Lockdown Easing, Indian Variant, Israel/Palestine and Darren McGarvey on class warfare
May 17, 2021 23:01 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBI don't know why I do new episodes of this podcast when I could just get bits of old episodes and copy and paste them each week.

May 10, 2021 23:01 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBThe elections got done, the incumbents stayed incumbing but more, Labour's vision got COVID blocked or something, the news worked out who the Green party are and hugs are back but not face to face.

Fisk and Frites - Poor Boy Johnson, Gilty Wallpaper, Cod is Norwegian and Dr Mogha Kamal-Yanni from People's Vaccine on vaccine nationalism
May 03, 2021 23:01 - 1 hour - 55.2 MBPoor Boris Johnson. He only earns a meagre three times the salary of the average British person which means he just can't afford that essential gold wallpaper without some help from donor pals. It must be so hard being the man of the people where you still don't earn millions despite all the decisions you have to make about buying yachts for dead people or judging your own misdemeanours so you get away with everything. Flat refurbs, DUP changes, and a look at the new British favourite: Norwe...
Vacuums of Integrity - Johnson's pockets, Cummings' Return, Elections 2021 and Rhian E Jones on the Preston Model
April 26, 2021 23:01 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBThe problem with accusations that Boris Johnson said or did something awful, isn't that they might be seen as gossip or nonsense, but more with boredom that its yet another one and we're tired of repeats. More corruption, the return of the Dominic Cummings character but in an anti-hero but still villainous role and look at the elections on May 6th.

Giving It One Percent - Nurse's Pay, Budget 2021, Schools Return and Alysa Remtulla from charity Magic Breakfast
March 09, 2021 00:01 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MBNurses don't need money right? They just need more nurses right and then they can exchange their colleagues for food or shelter at the nurse bank or something. I'm not sure that's right but it seems to be what the Prime Minister thinks. No money for nurses, or for anyone to survive past the Autumn according to the Chancellor but luckily the Conservatives can be trusted on the economy which is why there is all the dosh for a big room with TVs in it and to prove the Home Secretary definitely i...

February 16, 2021 00:01 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBWe've got to be optimistic, just like all the other times we had to be optimistic before things got worse.

Circa probably around 2056. Schools reopening, summer holidays not happening and COVID in the workplace.
