Summary

More 16 to 17-year-old boys recognise Andrew Tate than Rishi Sunak - have we been guilty of underestimating the influence of Tate’s brand of toxic masculinity? Nish and Coco speak to journalist Matt Shea, who has spent years investigating the notorious misogynist. His new documentary uncovers the truth behind Tate’s ‘War Room’ club, and investigates claims members are taught how to groom women into online sex work. We also learn about the mysterious mastermind behind Tate, who has so far remained in the shadows. As Labour promises not to implement wealth taxes, Nish and Coco wonder if we’ve all missed ‘the secret wink’ that means it’ll all be ok once they’re in power. Plus Nish and Coco bid farewell to Nadine Dorries, who finally quit as an MP 81 days after saying she would. They look back at her ‘best bits’ and reflect on the battle for her Mid Bedfordshire seat.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Potsai Dukai. I'm Coco Carr. And I'm Nishikama. And this week we're saving
0:14.8	the UK from toxic masculinity. We'll meet a man who went toe-to-toe with the internet's
0:20.2	most prominent misogynist, Andrew Tate. Filmmaker Matt Shade tells us about his long fight to
0:26.0	expose Tate and the price he's paid for it. Plus, I'm a politician. Get me out of here. It's
0:32.0	farewell to Nadine Dollries. Hi, Coco. Hi, Nishikama. We're here as politics in the UK is about
0:40.8	to rev back up. And MPs returning to the Commons on Monday after the summer recess. I know I can
0:46.3	imagine them all there. Fresh face after there. Lovely summer holidays,
0:50.8	gadding around in fields or more realistically staying in their second homes somewhere in Europe.
0:57.2	But we've got a lot to talk about. Yeah, because there is one towering political figure who
1:02.9	will not be returning because Nadine Dollries has finally resigned. Yes, 81 days after she said
1:09.9	she'd resigned with immediate effect, having been denied the period. She was promised by Boris Johnson.
1:14.4	The former culture secretary has finally fulfilled her promise to quit Parliament. She wasn't going
1:19.5	to go quietly. Of course, a scathing 1700 word resignation letter was published in the mail
1:25.2	on Sunday, putting it up there with some of the longest resignation letters in history.
1:29.0	Classy till the end. And she towed the party line till the absolute end. She just went completely
1:35.5	right. She accused Rishi Seidak of demeaning his office and running a zombie government. Here she
1:39.9	is speaking, of course, who else could it be, but to the Daily Mail? There are a group, a small
1:46.4	group, a very powerful man, both at the heart of the Conservative Party and at the heart of Downing
1:51.7	Street. He very much control events. And I don't think many people are actually aware of that.
1:56.8	And that's one of the things that I've uncovered in the book. But what it also represents is an
2:00.8	absolute democratic corruption at the heart or a corruption of democracy rather at the heart of
