Summary

Nish and Coco ask “what’s going on with Labour?” Sir Keir Starmer caused consternation within his own ranks, by saying he wouldn’t abolish a two-child limit on claiming some benefits - a Tory policy that many of his frontbench colleagues have condemned. Nish and Coco wonder why politically tough decisions only ever seem to come at the expense of the poorest in society. SNP MP Mhairi Black tells Nish and Coco about dodging falling masonry, sociopaths and bullies in the corridors of Westminster - part of the reason she’s quitting at the age of 28.

Hi, this is Potsaphe the UK, I'm Nishkumar. And I'm Coco Khan. Have we accidentally fallen

0:15.4

into some sort of time machine and wound our way back to Victorian times, Coco? What do

0:19.3

you mean? Is it because of the, oh, it's because of the crushing child poverty and the

0:23.7

dumping of people in prison ships? Yeah, that's right. Plus, we talk about why Labour needs

0:28.3

to sort his shit out ahead of a bi-election super Thursday. And the SMP's Mary Black

0:33.2

will be here to tell us why she's had enough of Westminster.

You've brought in plums for everybody today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're your plums.

0:57.8

to phrase it. Welcome to Potsaphe the UK. Coco has born fruit. But it's amazing how quickly

1:05.4

they come in and how many come in. So I have, it doesn't surprise me because I know about

1:09.7

your interest in gardening and you know, you're interested in nature and gardening and all that

1:14.6

kind of crap that I couldn't care about. Now that I have thousands of plums, I'm obviously

1:31.6

there not not. Hi, yeah, it's me from next door. I just wanted to give you a pun of plums

1:36.6

from my tree. Guarantee you those people next time your barbecues ruining their washing,

1:41.4

they're not going to say anything. This is how power is accrued. Soft plums, hard pal. That's how

1:47.7

this works. Can't believe you've become a sort of crime lord via the medium of plums in your

1:53.3

local area. But I thought you were doing this to something nice. You've given me a pun of plums
