Summary

“The matter is closed!” Special guest Nick Cohen of The Observer joins us to look at the fall-out from Cummings taking down the country’s most senior civil servant, the reeking corruption of the Robert Jenrick/Richard Desmond affair, and the Starmer-Long-Bailey face-off. Plus: how on earth did shady contrarian factory Spiked elbow its way into the spotlight of politics, and are they really as influential as TV producers think? And British satellites. Galileo? Galileo. Galileo? Bismillah no, our fake GPS will not go. Also, some squid news from Ros. “An underestimated thing about Starmer is, he’s seen it all… he’s seen the most savage political war.” – Nick Cohen “Johnson wants to be thought of as a great Prime Minister by the easiest route possible… because he’s a really, really lazy man.” – Alex Andreou Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Alex Andreou.
