This week we discuss who our next prime minister is likely to be: former chancellor Rishi Sunak or foreign secretary Liz Truss. (Spoiler: It’ll be Lizzie.) We then muse on reports that current prime minister Boris Johnson could be turfed out of parliament, and round it off with the January 6 committee in the US, which is investigating what very earnest American journalists like to call an ‘insurrection’.

Joining us is Jazza’s expired Conservative membership card.

The butcher has finally caught up with the greased piglet, to paraphrase David Cameron’s description of soon to be former prime minister Boris Johnson. In this episode we discuss the week that prompted his resignation, his legacy, and who will replace him as the country’s leader.

Joining us are the breaks.

This week we look at why Boris Johnson is mulling a ‘third term’ as prime minister, the various rail strikes that have disputed public transport in Britain, and the decision by America’s Supreme Court to strike down the federal right to abortion.

And for clarity, we’ve not been on strike from podcasting.

This week we discuss whether prime minister Boris Johnson can survive partygate, whether Ireland’s neutrality can survive the Russo-Ukraine war, and whether the monarchy can survive beyond the Platinum Jubilee.

Joining us is Steve Byrne, self-described washed up former podcaster from What Am Politics.

This week we tackle what critics are calling beergate, in which Labour leader Keir Starmer is alleged to have drunk a beer in the presence of others. No cake has been implicated, but he has promised to resign if fined.

We then turn to the potential overturning of Roe vs Wade, in a legal judgement that could upend abortion rights in the US. And speaking of unwanted things, Jazza forces Jimmy to discuss Eurovision again.
