Very thoughtful, well-prepared, interviews thank you
Spent an hour falsifying their opponents positions and actions so they may feel better about themselves. Top quality hand ringing.
The podcast is OK, buts but right of centre. On the whole it feels like a group of people who think they are radical, but very much in the mould of the Starmer, McSweeney, Streeting right wingers who have stolen the Labour Party
I was really enjoying your podcast, but the latest episode gave me pause - the Greens/Polanski-bashing was alarming, the bias in the reporting of ‘evidence’ even more so. 1-star because I had to. Unsubscribed.
I’m a rightwinger but do believe it’s important to listen to views and opinions that are not always the same as ones own and i genuinely love pod masters and especially the bunker and oh god. But I’ve noticed, especially in the last episode that a lot of the presenters but especially Ros, talk about the feelings Trump brings out in people like it’s his fault and they have no personal responsibility for their actions because Trump makes them extreme. Trump can not control how people feel

A sharp, panel-driven UK politics show that blends rigorous analysis with satire. Episodes frequently dissect leadership contests, party strategy, Brexit and EU realignment, local election dynamics, and media narratives, often featuring journalists, historians, and political commentators. The conversations balance policy critique with cultural humor, making complex Westminster machinations accessible to engaged listeners who want context, nuance, and timely takes. Noteworthy aspects include a steady rotation of high-profile guests from major media outlets, a penchant for historical parallels, and a style that mixes serious analysis with brisk, quippy banter that keeps discussions lively for a politically engaged audience.
