Summary
This episode is why the podcast exists. Something obvious happened politically and some people need it explain. Labour look to have done badly at the polls (again) and I examine any of the 5000 reasons that might be.
We also discuss why Keir Starmer should stay away from boxing gloves and wallpaper.

| 0:14.0 | Hello and welcome to episode |
| 0:16.0 | 88 of what most people think coming to you on a Friday |
| 0:20.0 | Now I know some people this kind of messes with your week. You're like, shit, Jeff. I went jogging last night and I didn't have the podcast. Or maybe I was going to say I had a little bit of sexy time with my wife, but that feels like a younger comedian would say. I was fucking my wife. Oh, he's straight in with a swear word there. And your podcast wasn't there. Well, the reason that I've held back is because of the election results. I wanted to stick around to see what happened in Hartniple principally, but obviously got local council things. So I'm recording this Friday morning. It's very live. We're in the studio here. Results are still coming in. And it's evidently being |
| 0:56.0 | presented by Michael McIntyre. Did that sound like Michael McIntyre? I don't know. But we're going |
| 1:02.9 | to get on to all that. But suffice to say, wow, what a historic day. What a historic day. |
| 1:08.5 | I mean, yet again, the left are out there, aren't they, |
| 1:12.8 | saying, why do the, why want these gullible fuckwits vote for us? I don't know. It's crazy, |
| 1:18.5 | isn't it? Maybe every single time you lost an election and went online and called them gullible |
| 1:23.9 | fuckwits, you kind of radicalized. You know, you've made working class |
| 1:28.0 | people almost like Tory jihadists. Stop calling them idiots. Anyway, we're going to get to all this, |
| 1:34.3 | but it is astonishing that these so-called clever metropolitan types, you know, they keep |
| 1:38.8 | doing exactly the same thing from exactly the same playbook and expecting different results. So we will get on to all that. And, you know, Jesus, fuck me. I mean, when you talk about working class photos going Tory, I mean, if only someone had a book coming out on that subject, I mean, just, gosh, you'd want to read that book, wouldn't you? Hmm? But first up, how's your week? I want to know how your week was. I would say if you're |
| 2:02.1 | still being in pub gardens in the open air in this weather of the last week, then you're a fucking |
| 2:07.6 | alcoholic. You can't keep dressing it up, that you're supporting the pub economy or the economy generally |
| 2:13.6 | or the local nightlife. You've got a drink a drink problem okay but i hope you've had a |
