Summary

Lee Anderson and his pals have thrown their toys out of the pram – we unpack the latest Tory fallout. Plus, Houthi rebel strikes across Red Sea shipping lanes have led to counterstrikes from the UK and the US militaries. How has that action been justified and what’s the danger of escalation? And, leading transport commentator Simon Calder joins the panel to give his thoughts on the UK’s travel networks – the good, the bad and the ugly.  • “It felt like ‘we’ve bombed this and this is why we did it’ and it doesn’t feel like that’s how it should be in a democracy.” – Ros Taylor • “I’m not sure David Cameron is getting all 8 hours at night.” – Zoe Grunewald • “Everything is simply decided now it seems by Number 10 on what is most expedient politically.” – Simon Calder • ”There is simply no appetite for rail and that is why we’re going into such a long spiral of decline, it is absolutely miserable.” – Simon Calder We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor, Zoe Grunewald and guest Simon Calder.
