  • 47: Theresa & Donald 4 EVA
    Just as Donald Trump earns the world's disdain (again) for shutting America's doors to refugees, Theresa May arrives to tell him he's swell. Paul Osbourne and Robert Meakin try to work out why, as well as discussing the Brexit court ruling, and Jeremy Corbyn's double by-election headache. Get in touch via twitter.com/paulosbourne.

  • 46: What have we done to deserve this?
    We're just a few days from the terror of the Trump presidency, and our day-glo overlord is furious about fake news -- odd, as he more or less invented it. Paul Osbourne and Robert Meakin struggle with the irony, as well as explaining why the NHS crisis is so politically toxic for Theresa May. Plus, how did the Jeremy Corbyn relaunch go? Not terribly well, surprisingly. Get in touch via twitter.com/paulosbourne

  • 45: Christmas in the House of Lies
    It's been the year of the lie -- a seemingly endless series of huge, Pinnochio-style whoppers, many of which were rewarded with electoral success. For our bumper Christmas special, Paul Osbourne and Robert Meakin look back at Brexit, Donald Trump and more, and try to work out what might happen next. Get in touch via twitter.com/paulosbourne - and Merry Christmas, obviously...

  • 42: Trump-mageddon
    Continuing a golden history of accurate political prediction, Paul Osbourne and Robert Meakin return the week after saying Hillary Clinton would "stagger over" the winning line to weigh up the implications of Donald Trump's election as the 45th President of the United States. It's the end of the world as we know it, and frankly we don't feel fine. Get in touch via twitter.com/paulosbourne

  • 41: Let Chaos Reign
    A week of chaos -- in the UK, the High Court intervenes in Brexit, making it slightly more complicated than it already was.

  • 40: The Trump Card
    As the Trump campaign continues to implode, we analyse the latest insanity from the US. Plus, we ask who on earth would want to lead UKIP after the showdown in Strasbourg, and wonder why disagreeing with a local councillor would be treason. Get in touch via twitter.com/paulosbourne

  • 39: Some things change, some stay the same
    Jeremy Corbyn is back -- not that he ever really went away. As he's re-elected to the Labour leadership, Paul Osbourne and Robert Meakin try to work out what's next. Meanwhile, one supporter -- writer David Stubbs -- tells us why he's still backing him, and why this project goes far beyond 2020. Get in touch via twitter.com/paulosbourne

  • 38: Now That's What I Call a Scandal
    Keith Vaz steps down as head of the Home Affairs Committee, and for no reason at all we play a game based on past political scandals. Plus we ask if anyone has any idea what Brexit means, and as if Labour's splits aren't bad enough, now UB40 are fighting. Get in touch via twitter.com/paulosbourne
