In this thought-provoking episode of Mark and Pete, titled “Radical Reform, World’s Oldest Person, and Hoarder’s Dilemma”, we dive into three headline-grabbing stories shaking the UK and beyond. First, we tackle the political earthquake caused by Nigel Farage and Reform UK, whose recent local election surge has left the Conservative Party reeling. What does this mean for Britain’s political future?
Next, we celebrate the remarkable life of Ethel Caterham, the newly crowned oldest person in the world at 115 years old. What’s her secret to longevity, and what lessons can we draw from a life that spans two world wars, a pandemic, and the rise and fall of empires?
Finally, we explore the WHO’s classification of hoarding as a mental disorder, and what it means for how society views clutter, consumerism, and mental health. Is it time to clear the attic—or the stigma?
