SELF PROPELLING KNOBHEAD — Badenoch Bombs at PMQs. Farage is Poorly. Reform Round Up from Davos.
This week in Sal’s PMQs roundup, we discovered that Kemi Badenoch just cannot show a united front, and has undone a lot of good will that she built up before Christmas. Richard Holden got put on the naughty step by Lindsay Hoyle.
Reform roundup is mainly Farage based this week — he bottled his interview with Laura Kuenssberg, then had lunch with Liz Truss and went to Davos on a Trump Hunt — he didn’t find him!

EP 42 — ARMAGeDDON APPROaCHiNG? Trump Steals a Medal. Reform Steal a Loser.

Angry from Tunbridge Wells. Tommy Robinson Comes Out. Reform Laughs. EU Stand Up to Trump. US military calls in Grok.
Erm. Everyone failed this week except Sal and Don.
We chatted Tommy Robinson ‘accidentally’ sharing his personalised ads with the internet — they were … enlightening. Trump chaos as usual, but there has been pushback from unexpected quarters this week. Musk has agreed to deploy his deeply flawed, far-right Ai into the US military. We’re certain nothing will go wrong there.
Geopolitical tensions mount and the Hillsborough Bill is delayed again. Reform’s Kent County Council have failed at keeping water in Tunbridge Wells.

EP 40 — Did We Mention They Are All Psychopaths? Trump. Vance. Noem. Leavitt.
Unless you have been on a lovely holiday to the far side of Jupiter, you will be aware of the unfolding catastrophe that we once called the United States of America.
This week’s episode is almost entirely dedicated to Trump’s burgeoning fascist dictatorship and his piracy and his hijacking of ships and his theft of oil and his threat of invading Greenland.
We end with the harrowing story of Renee Good, the mother of three that was brutally murdered by Trump’s goons this week. It’s grim, but vital that we talk about it.

EP 39 — PMQs Unravelled — Farage’s Lies Dissected.
This episode is a bit different. We were both outraged to hear that Time Radio had decided to give Nigel Farage a platform to air his ear growing list of grievances — at the very same time as we were paying for him to be in the House of Commons.
He decided to head to the Times Radio studios and carp from a studio, so we decided to watch along and chat about it as we went. There is a lie counter on our video version — it got into double figures, but have a watch to see how many.
Apologies for the sound quality in places, we had to cobble a studio together! It’s a fun one though, nonetheless.

EP 38 — She's Always Nowhere — Lisa Nandy. Ai Loses the Plot. Flags at Midnight. Is Brexit Over?
Welcome back after our little festive break and happy New Year.
Sal and Don had a general catch up on the weird news over Xmas and the ongoing flag worship — kudos to Sadiq Khan for winding up the far-right. We also chatted about the horrific turn of events that Grok gave us this week. Maybe Brexit is starting to unravel — let’s hope so.

EP 37 Pt. 02 — Debunking Disinformation — Reform Round Up & Hunger Strikes Being Underreported
Sal took time to research and debunk some far-right disinformation that’s doing the rounds on Telegram. Don remakes Danny Kruger’s Scooby-Doo mask of religion, and Farage has another hissy fit.
We also talked about the hunger strikes ongoing and the government’s lack of empathy and refusal to intervene.

EP 36 Pt. 02 — THANK YOU — to our amazing guests. Farage avoids scrutiny. Sal’s Apology. Homelessness.
Toward the end of this week’s episode, we list and thank our inaugural guests in our first season. We have been blessed by the high quality and talent that have visited us this year. Thank you all.
Sal made an honest and heartfelt apology after a listener complaint last week.
Farage is under investigation/scrutiny for ten things - the media don’t care.
Labour are moving on homelessness but it’s nowhere near enough.
