Hot takes on politics and culture

Have been a fan for a couple of years. Well paced, acerbic commentary pointing out the absurd but with some hard hitting messages. Always relevant, always insightful and witty, always harping on about razor blades (snigger).

The Cotswolder ,

Very poor effort

The Soujed team like to think of themselves - and indeed describe themselves - as free speech absolutists. I suspect they're bought and paid for. Irritating voices and lamentable arguments poorly expressed.

Ms wn ,

More Rakib please

Always enjoy your current event conversations. Thanks.
