Summary

Jacqui and Iain hand out more than 50 awards to the deserving and undeserving of 2018. They’re just like Santa. So who gets the ‘WTF Moment of the Year Award’? Or ‘Worst Minister of the Year’. Or ‘Best Male Politician to Dress Up As a Woman’ Award. OK, we made that one up.

0:47.7

Oh, good.

0:48.6

Oh, well, let's make sure we do then, because I've got a choice.

0:53.1

Well, why don't we actually start from the bottom of the list upwards? Because then we get to the politician of the year right at the end. Oh, okay. Yeah. Wouldn't it?
