  • Great show. Half the time!

    First up. Kudos to the guys producing a show that is free to listen and isn’t tiered depending on payment. The quality can vary a lot. Generally when Alex is hosting with Naomi and/or Kenny then it’s brilliant. He offers insight and a perspective you don’t get elsewhere. If it’s Kenny and Naomi only then it tends to fall into a very bland groove especially if the guest is a bit dull.

  • Always thoughtful commentary. Almost all very good guests (unless they are former Tory spin doctors! 🤦). Probably my favourite political podcast.

  • A Class Political Act

    This continues to be my go to pod for politics. A fantastically well informed team that eschews drama and concentrates on in-depth, proportionate analysis of the topics of the day. Plus the warmth and hilarity of the presenters makes it seem as if you are participating in a discussion with friends. Incidentally, it is on twice weekly not once every two weeks.

  • Another Great Episode of QR

    The launch of the Rejoin the EU campaign by Best for Britain; the appalling editorial choice by the Beeb about fake migrants; and some excellent film reviews/recommendations. Another excellent QR!👏

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Authoritarian Playbook LIVE: Part 2 feat. Count Binface!
Q: Democracy survives this, yes or no?
Yes, we must believe it does and actively work to defend it by engaging with voters and staying vigilant.
Handover season
Q: What was Ellie Chowns' view on Brexit's environmental impact and the Labour Greens divide?
Ellie argued that Brexit has undermined environmental protections and that Labour and Greens should focus on constructive, pluralist politics rather than demonizing opponents; she emphasized the need for comprehensive planning and investment in housing and climate action.
B-SIDE: Under the Burnham bonnet
Q: How might Burnham handle appointments to signal ideological direction?
Appointments to positions like the home office, environment, or number 10 will signal whether he intends to pursue tough policy lines or seek more consensus-driven approaches, with the emphasis on credible pathways rather than symbolic moves.
Bindependence Day
Q: Is there a missed opportunity with this by-election, do you think, for all of the progressive parties to unite behind a candidate?
The panelists discuss potential unity candidates and the risk of Farage leveraging establishment narratives; they note the historical precedent of candidates like Martin Bell while considering contemporary dynamics.
Bindependence Day
Q: Jeevun, before we get stuck in to what passes for grown up politics in this country, can I ask you a little bit about politics and kids?
Jeevun responds that he is learning a lot today and discusses the importance of engaging younger audiences in politics and how Westminster experiences shape youth participation.
