Today, Clive is joined by comedian, writer and political commentator, Geoff Norcott!

From a love of spring to a fascination with the spicier editions of Prime Minister’s Questions, Geoff’s wonders are an eclectic mix of both the serious and the flippant, components of life. As one of few prominent right-wing comedians, he’s also got plenty to delve into around the state of UK politics - even if the conversation drifts to more pressing matters, like the evil portrayal of English actors in the Star Wars franchise.
