  • Same old tired biased guests.

    Eamon Dunphy is so far left if he was living in Mayo he’d fall off the island. The echo chamber that is the Last Stand is an interesting listen. The same guests on every week spouting the same arguments and being proven wrong in real time is glorious to listen to.

  • See no evil, hear no evil.

    Any chance of an in depth analysis of our own politician’s abysmal performance in the running of the country?

    With crime, health, housing & immigration policies in bits maybe there is enough.material there for a few episodes?

    In no way a Sinn Féin supporter but I’m sick and tired about the constant criticism of that party when the likes of Martin & Harris are given a free pass every time.

    The bias is nauseating.

    Not worth listening to anymore.

  • Eamon has to make a living, just like everyone else. Good to see he's keeping his nose clean. Quite the character at Elephant Bar in his day.

    It's painful to have to listen to Niall from the Hill. I really wish he'd come out and admit he's always wanted to paddle board and be a cook.(Did I spell that wrong?)

    Ultimately to be kind, I always like to believe that Eamon was a better footballer than a Jurno. An icecube has a longer life expectancy..etc.

    Sadly works for the man.

    I miss Gerry too.

    Used to be one of my favourite podcasts. Please replace Niall Stanage from the Hill with an impartial contributor. Have you read The Hill recently Eamon?? Stakes too high for this nonsense…

Ep 1897: PopCon - Liz Truss enlists Nigel Farage in attempt to push the Tories further right
Q: Is this the Tory party of the future?

Ep 1885: As their populism fails Britain’s Tories headed for oblivion

If there is no money, then Britain is not going to be made to work again, including the NHS. The country needs investment in various ways.
