Jets, Deals, and Holy Seals: Trump’s Qatari Bribe, UK-US Trade Deal, and a Pope


Listen Later

This episode begins with some good news - the goons who cut down the beautiful tree in the Sycamore Gap for no reason whatsoever, have gone to prison. So that's one reason to be cheerful. Meanwhile, the Vatican have elected a new Pope, quicker than it takes to hire someone in most normal offices these days and newsflash, the MAGA lot are not fans. Apparently he's a Marxist lefty loon (ie he seems pretty compassionate). 

Meanwhile, there has been much made of the UK US trade deal. A win for Starmer in some regards? And yet what does it really entail and how much of an improvement is it in real terms? 


Then, Trump has accepted a plane worth $400,000, 000 from the Qatari government. Super! Nothing to see here then. Enjoy hearing Trump's defence when questioned by a journalist, and hear about where Trump chose to take a little nap. 


There's plenty of Trump batshittery and then to end the ep, one of the craziest conspiracy theories ever to have gripped the internet before being roundly disproved. 


Enjoy!
