After spending Too Long In Exile, we are now BACK ON TOP. Following a brief film chat, Jack, Yair, Geraint and FFF dive straight into this political world with discussion of the latest lies of #SirSmearStarmer and his goon James O'Brien, Woke Elon's latest attempt to silence Jack for his right-wing views, the anti-democratic (Starmer was there) coronation, and - most importantly of all - Mike Gapes' readmission to the Labour Party. Finally, we spend about 45 straight minutes riffing on the historic Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens-Salman Rushdie beef.
