Did D.E.I Just D.I.E? - with Simon Evans 
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
Simon Evans joins me one week late but full of interesting take on whether the nickname &#39;Rachel from accounts&#39; is sexist &amp; whether Starmer is the man to lead the charge on AI. We also wonder whether events in the US have finally changed the direction of travel on aggressive DEI. Plus I disclose why my father&#39;s memorial plaque makes him sound bisexual.

Mental week so here&#39;s another episode. I start by analysing one of the best PMQs for a while, but deciding that Kemi shaded it with her &#39;Leader not a lawyer&#39;. Then, with the economy sliding, we ask which room have the grown ups gone into? Because it might be the panic room. I end by looking at some mad stuff said by Trump which might not be so mad after all.

Ian Stone joins me to discuss all this, plus we ask whether Labour&#39;s social care plan can be taken at face value (but ended up making childish jokes).

I brought in the big gun Iain to discuss a huuuuuge (copyright Donald Trump) week for UK and US politics.

Big old week of news so I cast my eye back on Donald taking on the Labour Party while the same boring old celebs trot out for Kamala. I also ask if Tucker Carlson is a bit weird. Then there&#39;s Wes Streeting&#39;s attempts to ask for suggestions to make the NHS better. I mainly advocate hot nurses.

<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
I&#39;m up at the Edinburgh Fringe but felt like I had to respond to the glitzy luvvie fest that was the US Democratic Committee. Lots of rappers and jokes and about Donald Trump&#39;s penis, but did Kamala deliver the goods or just more stuff for people to meme in years to come?
Also I tear into a hilariously woke announcement from the head of the Edinburgh Fringe.

<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
Simon Evans re-joins this week on brilliant comic &amp; analytical form. We discuss the worrying authoritarian tendencies being show by Labour (and whether you can impersonate Angela Rayner just by singing Oasis lyrics). We also consider the news that Gen Z are reverting back to old hobbies like weaving and knitting (maybe to save money?). In the Patreon only we discuss the case of a woman arrested...

So Keir Starmer is Prime Minister. A new yawn has broken, but there were so many sub-plots on a mad night. Tories down but not entirely out? Lib Dems needing a coach rather than people carrier for all their MPs. Reform beating expectations and the SNP doing a &#39;Scotland in the group stage&#39;.

Leo Kearse returns to WMPT in characteristically uncompromising form. We talk about Gamblegate dragging on and Starmer facing no tougher question than why he went to watch Taylor Swift. Meanwhile naughty Nigel Farage is on the back foot after being accused of apologism for Putin. I also somehow manage to tease out Leo&#39;s softer side when we talk about pregnancy from the male perspective.

EP 254 - Election reaches the Half-way Snark (with SCOTT BENNETT)
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
This week I had a chat with Scott Bennett who is funny and Northern. At the half-way mark in the election we reflected on the stand-out moments - from Rishi in the rain to the mystery of Keir&#39;s dad&#39;s profession. We also wonder again why journos can&#39;t deal with Farage. In the Patreon only we discuss the Euros, not least why Lineker was so badly dressed.

EP 253 - Rishi&#39;s Sky Dishi &amp; Slippery Starmer Karma (with HUGO RIFKIND)
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
I&#39;m back from Ibiza so thank god I had Hugo Rifkind to help &#39;remind&#39; me of the week&#39;s big political news. From Rishi&#39;s Sky Dishi to Slippery Stamer&#39;s Corbyn karma &amp; Nigel&#39;s one man political blunderbuss. We also talk about Hugo&#39;s excellent new book &#39;Rabbits&#39; which has guns, drugs and loads of cool references to the Nineties.

BREAKING NEWS #13 Dodgy Debates and the return of Naughty Nigel
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
Another BREAKING NEWS episode. I do a deep dive on the big debate. Why was Starmer blinking so much? How much coffee had Rishi had? Why was Julie Etchingham acting like their step-mum? And will Nigel Farage ruin it for both of them?

BREAKING NEWS #12 Slippery Starmer &amp; Dodgy Donald Trump
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
I climb into slippery Starmer&#39;s cloak &amp; dagger purge of the Left and end up defending Diane Abbott (??). I also question whether Ed Davey is looking at a career and theatre - and of course we had to break down the landmark ruling in the Trump case. If he goes to jail it could be an HBO show.

EP 251 - Tory campaign goes full GILF 
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
This episode I discuss the Tory&#39;s announcement on national service and wonder if they&#39;ve gone full GILF. Then I analyse Starmer&#39;s interviews and why he acts like a wounded fawn whenever someone questions his principles. Plus - for balance - there&#39;s a quick mention of Ed Davey falling off a paddleboard.
