BREAKING NEWS - Will Farage Really Renew His Vows?

An early breaking news this week as I react to Nigel's big announcement of another trip to the seaside. Will he actually go through with it? Or is it too late to turn back? And how the hell did Rachel Reeves manage a good joke on the subject?Elsewhere I look at some negative situations which men face that women typically don't (some are serious but some are pretty funny). Oh and there's a bumper edition of piss-take prices too! CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

NIGEL'S DODGY MATE - Feat. Glenn Wool 

Was good to have laid back Canadian maestro Glenn Wool making his debut on WMPT (especially after all that late night football). We spoke about Keir's first interview about resigning and why his 'legacy' might not be what he hopes. We also chatted about Nigel's mate 'posh George' and another accusation around donations. We of course chatted football too, not least why the Americans are terrible at thinking up good chants. In the Patron only gives our first DEATH STORY from the Covid era.

NUMBER 10 NORTH - Feat. Rachel Fairburn 

The brilliant Rachel Fairburn returns and I ask how she feels about having a fellow Northerner in Number ten. We react to Burnham's big speech and whether he's secretly prepping to hammer the south. We also evaluate some of the possible choices for chancellor (no boats being floated here either). Then we talk about Thomas Tuchel and the welcome return of brutal feedback. In the patron only section we look at the exponential rise of kids with anxiety and ask whether everyone needs to crack on and stop moaning.

BREAKING NEWS - Lame Duck PM

This episode is coming round faster than usual, but then again so is politics! A fascinating PMQs where lame duck Kier seemed to want knockabout fun but Kemi hadn't quite got the memo and delivered some withering lines about his soon to be successor. I also look at Andy Burnham suddenly finding he needs to get his duck in a row very quickly and also ask if Nigel's getting ratty because he'd rather be back on the telly.

CURTAINS FOR TWO-YEAR KEIR - Feat. Simon Evans 

Keir Starmer was good enough to announce his departure just moments before this record, so catch me and Simon Evans processing the news (even though it's been obvious for months). We discuss Keir's tear-jerker moment (Keir-jerker?) and evaluate his claim that it's all gone swimmingly. Then we move onto to discussing how Andy Burnham will any different and will he give Donald Trump a bowl of Scouse. In the Patron only the chat turns to Katie Hopkins being lobbed out of an East End pub by the tolerant Left.  JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb Learn more about your ad choices.
