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

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....

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.

This week I talk to broadcaster and write Stig Abell about politics and murder. Stig presents a breakfast show and gives on the background on politicians who say stupid things or - indeed - nothing at all. Then it's on to murder. Stig is a crime novelist and I challenge him to justify why it's ok to be entertained by people being killed.

This week I climb into the Scottish hate crime bill cluster**** and how JK Rowling was able to call Humza's bluff. I also tentatively wonder if the Tory backlash has got a bit excessive. Additionally, there's another FREE audiobook chapter from THE BRITISH BLOKE DECODED.

I'm delighted DOMINIC FRISBY was able to step in last minute because he was able to tell us about his brush with ELON MUSK. We also look at the rise of the Reform Party, the departure of Owen Jones and - in the Patreon only section - we discuss Netflix's documentary about crowd trouble at the Euro 2021 final.

Very funny episode this week with top stand-up Mark Nelson. We discuss Penny Mordaunt's Leadership chances, Humza Yousef looking like he regrets taking the gig and WTF is 'bread-crumbing'. There's also a genius idea for surge pricing in pubs.

In this breaking news I mull over Jeremy Hunt's long budget with small measures. I celebrate the NI cut whilst wondering if the fuel duty cut is an ongoing feature of British public life, like the DFS sale. I also ask why - whether it's Labour or Tories - I have a fundamental need to believe the good news. Oh and there are some fat jokes too.

This week Andrew Doyle joins me to mull over George Galloway's return to politics. We also try to talk about Mary Poppins recent ratings change, but I get a bit sexually distracted. There are also stunning revelations about Andrew going to Gary Glitter concerts and me being asked to leave an assembly for laughing WHILE I WAS A TEACHER.

It's another solo ep this week (following a late guest drop-out) but that did give a chance to reflect on a rancorous week in British politics. From Labour's mafioso style 'leaning' on Lindsay Hoyle to Lee Anderson going in two footed under the Ref's nose - it's all here. I try to approach it with nuance which means I'll probably annoy everybody.

Plus I include a FREE AUDIOBOOK CHAPTER from my book THE BRITISH BLOKE DECODED.
