WMPT BREAKING NEWS - #3 Covid Inquiry, all the exciting news...

In an overwhelmingly Lefty comedic landscape, right-leaning stand-up Geoff Norcott is a rare beast. In WMPT he gets to the heart of what ordinary people think about social and political issues. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt, but without being a dick. Mostly. Guests come from across the social and political divide, including, Romesh Ranganathan, Jonathan Pie, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more. Geoff has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Backstage with Katherine Ryan, Would I lie to You? Have I Got News For You? The Last Leg, Mash Report, Question Time, Mock the Week and pops up frequently on UK political debate programmes. Geoff's book 'Where Did I Go Right?' came out in 2021 and top the political comedy best-seller list on multiple occasions. Geoff also won an operational medal for his five tours performing to British troops in Afghanistan. "One of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe." - Sunday Times "A Right laugh." - The Guardian*

Comedy

Despite a b*stard journey back from Guernsey I managed to squeeze this out. I talk about the Tories getting battered at council level, doing not so badly with the mayoral votes and whether I voted Tory for the first time since 2019....

BREAKING NEWS # 9 - Was it Torygeddon in the Local Elections?

In this huge political week it was great to get Iain back on the show to talk about the upcoming local and mayoral elections & also reflect on the HUMbelievable downfall of Humza. We also speculate on what form a Penny Mordaunt leadership bid would take, and conclude it would involve a cape and a sword.

EP 247 - Ho-Humza & Election Fever with IAIN DALE

We have a lady this week! Not just that a funny working class Northern lady (so many boxes ticked). Rachel Fairburn joins me to consider whether anyone cares about Angela Rayner's dogginess, if there really is a drop in violent crime and whether there's such a thing as Library Nonc*s

EP 246 - Angela Rayner, Violent Crime and Library Nonc*s with RACHEL FAIRBURN

This week Seann Walsh returns for a very eclectic show. We discuss Liz Truss and her theory about running restaurants, the prospect of World War 3 and my belief that Seann is within his rights to look down his nose at modern cancel culture victims. There's also one of my favourite ever moments as Seann starts an observation about plastic bottles which he doesn't get to finish....

EP 245 - Liz Truss, WW3 & Cancel Culture with SEANN WALSH

In this episode I try to give a very normal bloke response to the findings of the Cass Report. I won't lie, it's a heavy subject, so luckily there was also a fun YouGov survey this week asking the public silly questions about Sunak and Starmer which I get stuck into. I also reveal one of the most childish things I've ever done.
