The Two Matts episodes
- Q&A: Lucy Letby, Proporational representation and Wernham Hogg
Happy Sunday! Today The Two Matt's hear your questions starting with the case of Lucy Letby. Should her case be scrutinised amidst doubts, despite the distress it may cause? Also, are the progressive press more critical of the left than the right and should Labour back proportional representation? The Matt's wrap things up by trying to work if Sue Gray is Gareth or Tim from 'The Office'. Oh, and what about Morgan McSweeney? And who's Keith? It's all very important.

42 min - Tearing into the Tories: like shooting fish in a barrelThe Matts pick off the Tory leadership candidates one by one with the nagging doubt in their minds that, whoever wins, it doesn’t really matter. The Tories are in such deep trouble as a party that restoring any sense of relevance and legitimate opposition to Keir Starmer’s monster majority will require Churchillian energy and determination. And sorry to break it to you Kemi, Robert, James and Tom … but you ain’t no Churchill. Enjoy!

37 min - Q&A: These are the best impressions you'll hear all year
Come for the impressions but stay for Keir Starmer's ethics in comparison to Boris Johnson's corruption, the Matt's giving Keir a hard time and 'Have I Got News for You,' going stateside. Happy Sunday!

24 min - Alarm in Lebanon: Why the conflict in the Middle East is escalatingThe Matts try to understand just why an already desperate situation in the Middle East is getting worse. What links the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois boxing match in Wembley and the conflict in Lebanon. And who are the silent winners while international diplomacy battles to contain any escalation? Also - did Keir Starmer’s conference speech give any further insight into how he intends to stem the rising tide of right wing nationalism in the UK? And do the freebies matter? The Matts have a view. You will too! Enjoy

54 min - Do Labour REALLY understand what’s at stake here?Something fundamental is missing in the way Labour have set about governing. It’s not just about free dresses, spectacles, Taylor Swift freebies and a box at the Emirates. It’s about an appreciation of what happens next if Keir Starmer doesn’t establish - quickly - a real sense of purpose for this term of office that the nation can understand, get behind… and hold him accountable for. He hasn’t done it yet. The Matts are worried. We should all be worried.

43 min - Q&A: Where's The Hope? And Should We Feel Icky?The Matts dive into the Labour Party's promises at their Liverpool conference, get taken to task over Tony Blair's relationship with autocrats and the ethics of promoting his new book, On Leadership. Plus Mossad's tactics against Hezbollah, and more on the intricacies of swearing. All in 30mins! Enjoy.

33 min - John Major is 100% right about Brexit
John Major is scathing about Brexit in his interview with BBC’s Amol Rajan. The Matts find themselves nodding vigorously in agreement - not just on the Referendum … but Ukraine, Rwanda, far-right entryism and Britain as a nation I’ll at ease with itself. Also - is A Very Royal Scandal worth a watch? Yes … but with a few caveats. The Matts can’t agree about whether this version of the Emily Maitlis / Prince Andrew drama is all it should be. Enjoy!

42 min - Trump assassination attempt, Lib Dem’s Brexit strategy and Starmer’s wardrobe
Today, why the US election is revealing itself to be an unprecedented cocktail of violence and fiction - and what Kamala Harris needs to do to get back in front of the story. Also - why aren’t the Lib Dem’s more explicit about reversing Brexit and how did Keir Starmer expect the story of Lord Alli’s remarkable benevolence to play out, if not terribly. Enjoy!
