Summary

Interest rates have reached the highest level for 15 years but don’t worry because Rishi Sunak says he’s: “totally, 100% on it”. Is he? Or is that totally, 100% rubbish? Is Cronyism getting worse? And if it is, how do we stop ministers from appointing their mates into positions of power? Did you see the all-leave BBC Brexit special last week? We did. The panel gives us their thoughts. And we get the latest mutiny news from Doomsday Watch’s Arthur Snell as tempers flare in Russia. Listen to our new paper review podcast PAPER CUTS here. https://listen.podmasters.uk/PCogwn “We have some of the worst inflation in Europe, by quite some way.” – Seth Thevoz. “There is a portion of the population, no matter how tiny, that would quite like a recession.” – Seth Thevoz. “For those this affects, this will be a painful period.” – Hannah Fearn. “The honors system was designed to be corrupt. It’s doing what it’s supposed to do.” – Seth Thevoz www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Alex Andreou with Hannah Fearn, Seth Thevoz, and Yasmeen Serhan. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. Managing Editor: Jacob Jarvis Producer: Chris Jones. Audio production by Robin Leeburn. OH GOD, WHAT NOW? is a Podmasters production. Learn more about your ad choices.
