Summary

We've done it again. We've subjected Nish Kumar to a terrible political book. However, rather than being a UK politician's attempt at literary fiction, we've instead delved into Harry Cole and James Heale's ill-timed work 'Out of the Blue: The inside story of the unexpected rise and rapid fall of Liz Truss.' And we experienced it with about 300 of you, at Backyard Comedy in London on February 20, 2023. Hope you enjoy!   Get the whole episode on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/prime-minister-79069038   *BERLIN LIVE SHOW ALERT* We're also doing a show on March 11 in Berlin!
