Oh God, What Now?

The Crime Minister


Listen Later

Johnson becomes the first PM to be convicted of a crime when in office. We look at the times Britain HAS changed its PM during a war, the fines that are coming – and how Johnson is now hiding behind the Ukrainian people so he doesn’t get No Confidenced. Aussi, la merde frappe le ventilateur in the French elections. And Penny Mordaunt, Tank Girl. Labour MP for Leeds NW Alex Sobel is our special guest. 


  • “You don’t have to be a Non-Dom to be a Chancellor – but it helps, right?” – Naomi Smith
  • “The question is, where is the bottom of the Tories’ moral compass? How low can Johnson go?” – Alex Sobel
  • “My own father died during COVID and I wasn’t able to touch him – because I, like everyone else except our leaders, followed the rules.” – Naomi Smith
  • “I would be willing to put my hand on my heart and say that Rishi Sunak will never be Conservative Party leader.” – Alex Sobel
  • “Populism is the promise that the harshest possible laws will apply to everyone else. That is the Le Pen offer.” – Alex Andreou
  • “Everyone forgets that the main reason Sunak became Chancellor was simply because he was compliant.” – Alex Sobel
