February 28, 2026 EP 53 — FEEL GOOD FRIDAY — The Greens Rocked the Boat ... HARD.
EP 53 — FEEL GOOD FRIDAY — The Greens Rocked the Boat ... HARD.
We talked Gorton and Denton for the most part on this episode. The aura of positivity that has blossomed from Hannah Spencer's by election win is such a huge shot in the arm for progressive voters of all stripes.
We chatted about how Reform and Matt Goodwin were so magnanimous in defeat [not] and the imperious Guz Khan graciously allowed us to end on his unbelievable one-man sketch about the fake Muslim conspiracy that has been weaponised by Starmer, Badenoch and Farage.

We also have some other excellent clips this week.

Next EP — POTHOLES! Apologies, but we've had to push the potholes EP to next week.

EP 52 — I SWEAR — BAFTA Fallout. Farage in the Chagos Islands. Green Party Drug Policy. Social Media Disinformation.

Sal talked us through the fury of misunderstanding around the BAFTA incident when John Davidson used an offensive word because of his Tourette’s Syndrome. The BBC made a gigantic cock-up … again. Don chatted about Reform's weird week, with Farage popping up in the Indian Ocean for his latest publicity stunt and then Zia Yusuf appearing behind a sign that said 'Shadow Home Secretary'. Yikes!
We got into the Green Party's misrepresented drugs policy by Keir Starmer and the Metro. And there's a clip of John Oliver making a direct link between social media disinformation and the shooting of two innocent people in Minneapolis.
Next EP — POTHOLES!

EP 51 — BREAKING NEWS — Reform Scandal. Trump Scandal. Labour Scandal. Jenrick Scandal.

There was some live breaking news 'fast happening' as Martin Daubney might say when we recorded. Trump's tariffs were ruled illegal. Allegedly, Matt Goodwin has been a naughty boy. Don chatted us through the new Shadow Chancellor's political financial history — it's not good. Sal gave us details about the Labour Together scandal — not good either. And somehow Tommy Robinson got into America.

EP 50 — FAR-RIGHT LIGHT — Crypto in Politics. Farage’s 'Shadow Cabinet'. Kinnock’s Shonky Figures. Rupert Lowe’s Day in the Sun.

We hit some extreme tangents in this episode, so a lot of ground was covered. Sal chatted about the meagre uplift in disability benefits. Farage announced a laughable shadow cabinet, and we listed all the far-right parties that are now fighting like rats in a sack! Don talked through his research and article on political donation by crypto.

EP 49 — GOODWIN'S HANDMAID'S TALE — PMQs. Reform Round Up. Matt Goodwin Hates Women. Palestine Action Verdict. Zombie Pam Bondi.
PMQs was meh, but Ayoub Khan delivered a fine joke [clip included]. Farage made himself look ridiculous … three times. Don wrote about some gross misogynistic comments from Matt Goodwin. Sal updated us on Palestine Action. Trump rolls back the fight against climate change and Pam Bondi lost the plot [clip included].
Sal had some coffee related laptop issues, so sound quality is a little off, but still fine to listen to.

EP 48 — MORAL FAILINGS — Sarwar Epic Fail. Filton 24. Starmer Played a Blinder. Nick Candy and Epstein. Hervey Loses the Audience.

Keir Starmer had a very good day, for once. He played the media for prized chumps. Sal chatted about the Filton activists and government overreach into their trials. Don talked us through five of Reform UK’s current donors that appear in the Epstein Files. Lady Victoria Hervey is the epitome of moral failure.

EP 47 — BILLIONAIRE FRUITCAKE — Thiel. Epstein. Musk. Bannon. Farage. Mandelson.
A billionaire special this week. Don discussed Peter Thiel’s Antichrist lecture, welcomed in by Reform UK’s James Orr. We talked about Epstein and the latest files drop. Musk may be in some serious hot water — in Spain and France at least. In the UK, not so much.

TRIGGER WARNING — We chatted about Epstein and inevitably some of the content is a tough listen.

EP 46 — CLACToN vs. The USA. Ho Holds Road Trip to Essex. Trump Finds a New Target.

Sal and Don spent the weekend in Clacton-on-Sea, longer than the town’s MP, we’d argue. It surprised us … in a good way. We also talked about the US and Sal came up with a theory that could rock the political world if true.

We ended with some fascinating words from Canada’s Premiere — Mark Carney.

EP 45 — Return of the Matt. Reform Scrapes the Barrel with Goodwin. Farage is Not at Work Shocker. PMQs Snoozefest.
This episode is mainly focussed on our weekly Reform roundup. In case you haven’t heard, they have chosen great conspiracy theorists and all round race-baiter, Matt Goodwin to run as MP in the Gorton & Denton by election. Also, Reform are telling tales on naughty Labour for posting a video of Goodwin being horrible about Manchester.
This week contains Sal’s quickest ever PMQs roundup as it turns out David Lammy and Andrew Griffith are monumentally dull. Lee Anderson provided the laughs though this week.

We finish the show with a really strong message from, friend of the pod, James Koppert.
