    They're mad as hell and we don't want to take it anymore

    They're mad as hell and we don't want to take it anymore

    What on earth were they thinking? The Conservative Party’s weird, dystopian, GOP-style attack ad on Sadiq Khan shows just how much the party has lost its mind. The panel unpack what was wrong with it and why the Tories might have thought this was a good idea at all. And Jeremy Hunt says £100k a year “doesn’t go far” – is he right? Or is he just massively out of touch? Plus, in the extra bit for subscribers what could replace the Labour Party’s ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ ring-walk tune for the 2024 election?

    • “They do a really bad video, they get roundly mocked… and the next day they do something worse?” – Ros Taylor
    • “The Conservatives are going to have to improve 12 points just to do as ‘well’ as 1997… They are looking at a generational defeat.”– Jonn Elledge
    • “People are now locked into jobs and house shares they don’t like because they feel too financially insecure to start again.” – Zoë Grünewald

    Here comes The Sun, Little Starmer

    Here comes The Sun, Little Starmer

    Is The Sun newspaper starting to pivot towards supporting Keir Starmer? Will any of the rest of the Tory press follow suit? And does political endorsement from a newspaper even matter any more? Plus, double outrage as shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves acknowledges that Margaret Thatcher was, you know, quite a big deal. Was she right to do so and why can't we stay level-headed around the Iron Lady?

    • “I think there’s an acknowledgment from the papers that you can’t ignore Labour anymore.” – Rachel Cunliffe
    • “Any papers who don’t want to back Labour just won’t back ANYONE…” – Hugo Rifkind
    • “The Thatcher of now might be hosting a TV show on GB News, who knows?” – Hugo Rifkind

    #OhGodWhatElse? Put to the Text – Ros and Hannah on studying English Literature

    #OhGodWhatElse? Put to the Text – Ros and Hannah on studying English Literature

    Our Monday morning mini-cast for subscribers… This week: Ros Taylor and Hannah Fearn discuss their time studying English Literature, how the education system has changed and some of their favourite pieces of writing.

    • “I think some of the joy has been taken out of English literature. You have to come to it with a certain set of views and values, something I pushed back against in my studies.” – Ros Taylor

    • “My pattern of reading has gone through stages. After reading loads in my teens, university put me off it for a while.” – Hannah Fearn

    Failure to Relaunch

    Failure to Relaunch

    Rishi Sunak is going for yet another relaunch. Will it work? (Probably not…) Plus, plucky newcomer Vladimir Putin has won the Russian presidential election with a massive landslide of 87% which is DEFINITELY legitimate. What have we learned from this sham election and what does it mean for Russia? Dr Ben Noble is an associate professor of Russian politics at UCL and chats with Alex Andreou. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, will Aaron Taylor-Johnson kick ass as the new James Bond, or will he bomb quicker than a bullet train? 
     
    • “Sunak might be breathing a sigh of relief at today’s inflation figures but I think he knows that’s not going to magically change things on the doorstep.” – Zoe Grunewald
    • “The Russia of 2024 is not the Russia of 2018.” – Dr. Ben Noble
    • “It does seem likely that the only way Putin stops being President is by dying.” – Dr. Ben Noble

    Banging Your Head Against a Red Wall

    Banging Your Head Against a Red Wall

    Why are we so obsessed with ‘The Red Wall’? What does it mean and are the Tories about to lose all of those seats in the North? Plus, new research shows the government’s levelling-up project has not worked… at all. Only 10% of the approved fund has been spent by councils. Why? And were the government’s missions ever achievable? 

    • “The red wall are actually voters who should’ve been Tory for quite a long time.” – Marie Le Conte
    • “It was more of an F YOU to the whole system.” – Hannah Fearn
    • “It’s quite fun to have a lot of nutters.” – Marie Le Conte
    • “Rather than levelling-up, everybody is in a worse situation.” – Hannah Fearn

    #OhGodWhatElse? Face the music – Andrew and Jarv on artists with bad politics

    #OhGodWhatElse? Face the music – Andrew and Jarv on artists with bad politics

    Our Monday morning mini-cast for subscribers… This week: Music has been a huge part of Andrew Harrison and Jacob Jarvis’ lives, but as society and culture has changed some of those artists haven’t quite kept up with the times. Join as they discuss the music they loved and if they can separate the art from the artist.

    • “I was a huge huge Morrisey and The Smiths fan and whilst I’m still a huge Smiths fan I cannot listen to Morrisey anymore” – Andrew Harrison
    • “When I was younger I thought punk music was all very ‘f*ck the system’ in a very left wing way – and as I’ve grown up I discovered that isn’t quite the case.” – Jacob Jarvis

Excellent

Make Rose Taylor do every podcast! Her voice cures my heart failure!

Farmberlin ,

Very good

I recently discovered the show, I believe it was mentioned in The Guardian. As a listener from the EU/Germany, it is very refreshing and reassuring to listen to these competent, reasonable and wonderfully humorous voices.

Does what it says on the tin

Ian “edit it out in post” is great to listen to. Heck, they’re all great.
