Summary

Mick and Jen tackle this week’s news, which finally (FINALLY!) finds Labour kicking the ball towards a goal – and not even an own goal – in moves* that will annoy both racists and people who like kids living in poverty. There’s also an Old Missus, some classic Mick pronunciation, Jen cheering sportswomen all over the shop, and some nuns. Obviously. *Probably. If the wind doesn’t change direction.

prove it. And there's loads of them, or at least getting to be loads of them. A record number

1:05.7

of nuns gathered at the Dolmaling nunnery in northern India to take various levels of what's called
