It’s conference season, and at the Labour conference in Liverpool - flagshagging, snake-oil merchants and leadership jockeying - is it Keir Starmer’s final chance for a reset? Nish and Coco are joined by political journalist Zoë Grünewald.
And later... more
Oh dear lefties… We just can’t stop tearing each other apart, huh? One short month into the evolution of the new political party experiment undertaken by independent MPs Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn - and the whole thing has descended into acrimon... more
It’s been a hellish week for our Disunited Kingdom. First Tommy Robinson mobilised ten of thousands in his ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march. Before we could recover from that toxic side show, the headline act arrived: President Trump. He was kept behind a... more
Chaos, what chaos? Rayner's out. The cabinet's reshuffled. The lurch to the right hasn't stopped. But in the words of Homer Simpson, could Keir Starmer's shit show be a "crisitunity" for the left?
To tell us how we can seize this moment, Nish and Co... more

PodsavetheUK is the smug echo chamber of Britain’s professional hand-wringers — less podcast, more group therapy for people addicted to outrage. It fetishises problems, sneers at dissent, and offers no solutions beyond “more government, more taxes, more control.” Every episode is a sermon to the converted, marinated in BBC-style sanctimony. If you’re after fresh thought, balance, or even a half-decent debate, you won’t find it here. It’s ideological junk food: salty, cheap, and leaves you feelin... more
As a British Crooked Media fan, who no longer lives in the UK, this podcast is perfect for me. Keeps me abreast of politics in the UK delivered by a perfect team in Nish and Coco.
I am a dual citizen living in the UK. Compared to Pod Save America/World I find Coco and Nish far too opinionated on what we should think. While I am a left in principle I feel I am being lectured, rather than informed. The US crew are far more even handed and credible given their experience, which feels lacking here. I listen to the US podcasts religiously but find myself turning this off more often than not I’m afraid.
Would welcome but it's terribly naive. We need a left analysis but to discuss the new Corbyn party and not even mention the danger of gifting many seats to Reform by splitting the left is just far too simplistic student politics
Silence is so much better than this
