Harriet and Producer Martin are joined by Britain's newest Labour MP, Natalie Elphicke, who dramatically joined Sir Keir Starmer's "changed" Labour party this week, and explains why it's the party for her. They also get some post-local election analysis from Lord Sir Edwin Beaufort MP, who has an utterly convincing retort to anyone who thinks the elections went poorly for the Tories. Finally, we're joined by Eshaan Akbar for a Hot & Spicy Takeaway about asylum seekers, which has nothing to do with cycling so if you're a cyclist there's nothing in that section for you and you may as well not listen to it.

We have a live show coming up on Thursday the 20th June at the Museum of Comedy, we would love to see you there: tickets.

If you would like to support the show, too, and allow it to keep going, you can sign up at patreon.com/NonCensored, where you'll get the full interviews in video, a monthly bonus "time for questions" podcast, and a weekly behind-the-scenes podcast for top-tier backers, which is where we say what we really think about the news and thus run the risk of getting cancelled. You can also keep your questions coming to the team by emailing noncensoredpodcast@gmail.com. And we'll refund a month's subscription for any Patreon who buys a ticket!

Thanks to Rosie Holt (@RosieIsAHolt), Brendan Murphy (@notmurphy), Eshaan Akbar (@eshaanakbar), Davina Bentley (@davinabentleycomedy), Paul Dunphy (@mrpauldunphy) and Ed Morrish.

Tickets for Rosie's show, That's Politainment!, are available here.

Australians can see Brendan perform in Potted Potter, and people in Britain can buy tickets for Buffy ReVamped at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Eshaan has a stand-up special, The Pretender, available to watch for free on YouTube, and he is going on tour next year with his show Yum.

Davina does sketches and posts about her gigs in her Instagram.

Paul does Broken News sketches every week with Larry, which can be seen on YouTube.
