    I sometimes listen and enjoy the program but not keen on this Leconte person. This machine-gun style of speaker is really annoying...probably be ok in slow motion.

  • Excellent but…

    A huge shame they got rid of the Monday/Tuesday magazine format show. I assume it’s cost based, but still a big miss in my weekly listening.

  • Normalizing Israel’s Genocide

    Long time listener, but finally dumping the pod. I can’t take people seriously who platform folks who lie/downplay the genocide being carried out by Israel in Gaza. There’s no “both sides” to starving children and bombing hospitals, despite this podcast’s desperate attempt to pretend there is.

  • Great new format

    I love the new Monday “deep dive” into current topics. A necessary evolution of the beloved Remainiacs, well done Andrew et al.

Inside the new ‘Battle for Britain’
Q: What can you tell us about the two blocks and how voters change within them?
