This week I go on a proper rant after getting fed up with celebrity liberal hypocrisy in and around the Qatar World Cup.
 We also catch up on the week's politics and Ed Davey somehow gets a mention!

EP 172 - The World Cup of Hypocrisy

In an overwhelmingly Lefty comedic landscape, right-leaning stand-up Geoff Norcott is a rare beast. In WMPT he gets to the heart of what ordinary people think about social and political issues. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt, but without being a dick. Mostly. Guests come from across the social and political divide, including, Romesh Ranganathan, Jonathan Pie, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more. Geoff has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Backstage with Katherine Ryan, Would I lie to You? Have I Got News For You? The Last Leg, Mash Report, Question Time, Mock the Week and pops up frequently on UK political debate programmes. Geoff's book 'Where Did I Go Right?' came out in 2021 and top the political comedy best-seller list on multiple occasions. Geoff also won an operational medal for his five tours performing to British troops in Afghanistan. "One of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe." - Sunday Times "A Right laugh." - The Guardian*

Comedy

This is the first of many Breaking News Election specials to come. I talk about why Rishi was man enough to announce it in the rain. Why Keir did it inside because he's old. And why none of the campaign will make any difference whatsoever to the outcome.

BREAKING NEWS #11 - Election Announcement Special

Had a very funny chat with my good friend Ian Stone. We discussed the strategic significance of Starmer's Salmon Tandoori. What kind of kid's book Liz Truss would write. Why topical comedy is harder now there are more lawyers. And whether kids should be taught to call it a 'dinkle' or a 'penis'.

EP 250 - The Political Cynicality of Salmon Tandoori (with IAN STONE)

I review Labour's launch of their 'first steps' strategy to win the next election. There's some praise for Keir seeming less like a mortgage salesman, but also questions remain over how bad he is at answering questions. And of course there's still his voice, there'll always be his voice...

BREAKING NEWS #10 - Keir's Baby Steps

This week Simon Evans joins me to discuss whether Rishi's big speech was scaremongering or if it actually had some good points. I also go in pretty hard on human macademia nut Keir Starmer (there will be letters). We also discuss the Baby Reindeer controversy and if there are double standards at work because the stalker is female. The Patreon only section looks at celebs being boycotted for not 'saying enough' on Gaza.

EP 249 - Is Rishi saying there will be WAR? (with SIMON EVANS)

This week I catch up on all the fallout from the local elections which seemed to get worse for the Tories the longer things went. I discuss whether Andy Street was harshly dealt with and if the Greens expected their victorious candidate in Leeds to say 'Allahu Akbar'. We also look at Bud Light rowing back from social justice issues and wonder if it's part of a wider trend.
