Not much happened this week! Just that little thing called the general election, called sooner than everyone (including most Tories) expected. Hannah and Aphra take you through what you need to know, as well as discussing the infected blood scandal, the ICC issuing arrest warrants over the Gaza genocide, the status of wheelchair services in the UK and the UK’s first bionic MP. Digressions include strong and stable jelly and an unexpected John Curtice crush. 

Content warning - this episode briefly references domestic violence and sexual violence.
