FRINGE CANCELS COMIC BEFORE EVEN STARTING with Francis Foster
Delighted to have Francis Foster back on the show as we consider the impact of the online safety act for for expression (porn, basically). We react also to the super tense press conference with Trump & Starmer looking like a man waiting for an elderly relative to say something dodgy. We then look at the issue of two Jewish comics cancelled by their Edinburgh venues despite their shows not being political. I guess it's Fringe cancellation season!

WATER, TEENAGERS & EPSTEIN’S LIST with Ian Stone
Delighted to welcome back fellow veteran clubber Ian Stone this week. As Parliament headed to recess it gave us the chance to consider the water review (and make puns about it). We also reflected on giving 16 year olds the vote (they'll probably end up voting for Nigel or Jeremy). Then we chatted Trump for the first time in a while: is he on the Epstein list? Is he going a bit mad? All shall be revealed...

BREAKING NEWS #47 - What's This Afghan Thing About?
Didn't think there would be enough news for a breaking news then it all kicks off! BLAM - Starmer suspends 4 Labour backbenchers. KAPOW - Tories & Labour up to their necks in the Afghan data leak row (which I've tried my best to unpack so you don't have to). Plus I bemoan having to multi-task.

LABOUR’S UNHOLY UNION with Simon Evans
The brilliant Simon Evans returns to discuss a bit of family friction between Labour and the Unions (we also reflect on how it might sound hearing Angela say 'silly stunts'). Also - after some classic Noughties sitcoms have had trigger warnings imposed - we ask what IS the point? In the Patreon only section we ask if Oasis' reunion heralds the return of guitar bands and young men acting like kn*bs.

BREAKING NEWS #46 - 'Anyone Heard From the Tories?'
Another breaking news following a week of interesting medium size stories: from a fiery PMQs to the booing of Nigel Farage - plus we ask 'What's going on with the Tories?' (spoiler alert - not much)....I also bemoan the standard of hotel air-con.
