EP 60 — THE MADNESS OF KING TRUMP — Trump's Market Manipulation. Iran is More credible than the USA. Regulators Have Failed.
We discussed the insanity around Trump's latest decision-making process — spoiler alert: he hasn't got a clue. We now have to wait for Iranian sources to confirm or deny Trump's madness.
It is clear that this was a market manipulation by the President.
Don talked about his article on our redundant regulators in the UK — and the rise of the robots. 🤖

EP 59 — FAR-RIGHT — FAUX FATHER — UKIP were run out of Liverpool. Reform has had an absolute SHOCKER.
Sal went to the demo against the far-right last weekend and provides us with her roving report. Faux Father Nick Tenconi was in attendance, but Liverpool doesn't tolerate fascists.
Don's Reform Roundup™️ is a long one and utterly insane. Including Farage been caught out on Cameo and Matt Goodwin, aka Matt Badloss aka MattGPT has a new book out. Don deconstructs.

EP 03 — Monk Debunks — with Emma Monk.
We had the chance to chat to the magnificent, Emma Monk about her work debunking the headlines, culture wars and fake news that's being forced into our feeds every day.
It's an ever-increasing problem that we encounter every day, and Emma does a really sterling job at debunking some of the most heinous fake news on and offline.
We chatted about the Daily Mail, Dan Hodges and our favourite proponent of crazy news stories … the Telegraph; once a noted paper of record, now a purveyor of lies.
Check Emma out on 𝕏 and on Substack. Links down there👇.

EP 58 — TICE. TAX. TANTRUMS — Reform UK's Week. LBC Lies. Pokémon! And Ai Insanity.
A lot about Reform as usual but specifically, their meltdown over falling poll numbers, Tice has been AVOIDING tax whilst attacking others for AVOIDING tax. Nick Ferrari lied live on LBC. And Sal has a distressing update about Ai and Pokémon — seriously!
Our song at the end is provided by our friend Baz whose YouTube channel is here.
Apologies for the coughing and spluttering — Don has nearly got rid of the Covid.
Next EP — POTHOLES! Apologies, but we've had to push the potholes EP to next week AGAIN. Damn war! We'll do it soon, we promise.

EP 57 — BEAVERS! BEAVERS! BEAVERS! — Beavers on Banknotes. Missiles in the Med. Reform's Ratings Rattle.
We chatted about the war again, of course. Hegseth's insane claims that the Strait of Hormuz in open — apart from the missiles and mines. Reform's polling is in the gutter, and Farage is REALLY whining about it. Culture wars overload about banknotes and badgers.
An admonishment for James O'Brien for nicking our Reform Roundup segment!

EP 56 — Pushing Prices — Oil Rockets. Military Tactics. Reform Floundering. Petrol Prices. Joey Barton Nicked!
Sal gave an excellent explainer of why Trump is failing in the war against Iran. Don explained Farage's latest pathetic stunt and why it failed. Sky News are the only news broadcasters propping up Reform this week. Rupert Lowe STILL doesn't have a political party. Joey Barton is back in his natural environment — prison.
A longer ep than usual due to the insane amount of news we had to get through.

Sal and Don had a pod first disagreement … over Starmer! Don was attacked by Oakshot and Tice. Spies in Scotland and Wales. Who could be the 21st Century Lord Haw-Haw? Rupert Lowe still doesn't have a political party.

As you may expect, this episode is dominated by our chat about Trump's latest illegal endeavour. Sal reminded is of his comments about expendable people. Don put a case for Starmer's stance.
We also mentioned home politics — the Greens overtake Labour in the polls and, at time of recording, Reform UK were still crying about losing the election last week.

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.

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!
