Scorching scenes in Europe provoked terror across the continent, or so the media would have it, leaving Jason and Ben longing for a return to common sense. Also this week, is Pride running out of steam? And are the fuel protests set to make a reappearance?

Much to Ben and Jason's surprise (not), the Dáil backed a Sinn Féin bill last week to get rid of the three-day abortion waiting period. They discuss the "betrayal" of voters who were reassured by that promise, as well as poor weeks press-wise for the Taoiseach and Tánaiste.

This week on the podcast Laura spoke to Cllr Gavin Pepper. This Councillor explained his work in his constituency of Ballymun-Finglas, the issue of housing, the lack of investment, the problem with suspended sentences and the need for universal health care. 

On this week's episode of The Long Game podcast, Ben and Jason discuss the reaction to last week's scenes in Belfast, and react themselves to news of a long-awaited peace deal between the US and Iran. Finally, the lads turn to a topic close to Ben's heart in particular: the World Cup.

 This week Laura spoke to Laoise de Brún BL. She explains her organisation the Countess and the Women's Coalition on Immigration. Laoise explains how we are asked to suspend our innate knowledge of life when it comes to transgenderism and immigration. We talk about the cancellation of Irish lecturer Dr Michael Foran at Oxford University and the state of maternity care in Ireland. 

On this week's episode of The Long Game podcast, the lad's discuss Ben's viral exchange with Norma Foley, the politicisation of the Irish school system, the Government's plan to scrap the Triple Lock, and more.

On this week's podcast, Laura spoke to commentator and head of the Iona Institute, David Quinn. David explains how the national curriculum is trying to make your 4 year old into a 'global citizen', how the history curriculum is left-wing indoctrination that views nationalism as an extreme political movement, the Pope's challenge to AI and the problem of falling global birth rates. David also explains how he wants people to have more sex. 

On this week's episode of The Long Game podcast, Ben and Jason discuss the outrageous murder of Henry Nowak in the UK; liberals' inability to condemn Bonnie Blue's depravity; and new Iona Institute findings that a quarter of Gen Z is set to be childless.

In this week's podcast, Laura talks to Councillor Linda de Courcy. We discuss Independent Ireland's loss in the Galway by-election, is it hard to break the status quo with the PR system, race-baiting by the left, victims that count and victims that do not, mixed-sex bathrooms, the EU Migration pact, and Laura's fury over the Deposit Return scheme. Finally, the councillor explains why orange juice is toxic. 

The dust settles on the by-elections and Jason and Ben sift through all of it. They discuss the critical theories behind the coverage of the deaths of Yves Sakila and Alexander Coughlan, before Ben shares his thoughts on the ending of The Boys.
