Summary

Trump came down that golden escalator ten years ago this week, and thus began America’s descent to the depths of madness. The gang looks back on his political journey, from launching into the GOP race from Trump Tower to whatever you’d describe where we are now. Plus, Reform UK won loads of council seats – and now it actually has to take charge of things. So, how’s that going? (We promise we say more than just bad.) Then in the Extra Bit for supporters – can we ever be as happy as Finland? And what does that even mean? • Listen to The Bunker including Andrew’s interview with Peter Ricketts. ESCAPE ROUTES •  Matt went to see The Ballad of Wallis Island at the cinema • Zoe went to Primavera in Barcelona – and she says to watch Chappell Roan’s set online if you can! • Raf went to see Showstopper! • Dorian suggests Decoder Ring www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Rafael Behr, Zoe Grunewald and Matt Green.
