  • Dugmore

    Please, please, please, get rid of this idiot Dugmore. This awful person makes the whole thing totally unbearable. He’s completely out of his depth intellectually, adds nothing to the conversation, and delivers every line with nauseating millennial leftist smugness. Send him back to the ‘Politics Joe’ ghetto!

  • Mutiny in the Labour Party episode

    Truly, how preposterous was this discussion…bored half way thru..summed up when Ailbhe discussing those in contention for Lab leadership..after a long ridiculous list (loise haigh FFS) said “ have I missed anyone”..this “discussion “ ,seriously,was the absolute nadir of useless tittle tattle…it’ll be a while before I engage with it again

  • Sponsorship by British Soft Drinks Association?

    Generally great show but bizarre to accept promotional interview from a trade body representing one of the most damaging industries for the health of our nation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The greatest aviation disaster that didn't happen
Q: Can you talk a little bit more for me about the significance of that, like bureaucratically, but also psychologically for the passengers?
The classification of the event as air rage took it out of the realm of political hijacking, which impacted how it was perceived and documented bureaucratically and left passengers feeling sidelined.
The greatest aviation disaster that didn't happen
Q: How did you go about it? How difficult was it to get some of these people to try and talk to you and open up to you about this?
Kate Mossman interviewed multiple people involved in the incident, starting with Brian Ferry to gain traction for further interviews, though she found getting many to talk challenging due to the time that has passed.
Wes Streeting is "pretty frustrated, tbh"
Q: Did Wes Streeting indicate whether he plans to run for leadership?
Streeting humorously dismissed the notion by likening the speculation to a panto season, suggesting he's not focused on such ambitions now.
Natalie Fleet MP: I won't report my rape
Q: What are the barriers that women face when it comes to reporting this crime?
Natalie explains societal stigma, shame, and inadequate support for victims which deter them from reporting incidents of rape.
Natalie Fleet MP: I won't report my rape
Q: But would you mind giving us a little bit of your personal experience?
Natalie reflects on her story, discussing her past experiences with pregnancy and the societal repercussions of being a young mother.
