E456 - Gov, Actually ft. Ciaran Dold

Our good friend Nate joins us as we consider what the very bad (if you're a Republican) results from the US midterms might mean for Americans. And also how bad the results are if you're a democrat who doesn't want to do your job. We look at Britain's latest ventures in Keeping Women Safe by banning depictions of consenting adults. For our main topic we cover Shabana Mahmoud's changes to Britain's immigration system, and Nate gives us his perspective on Britain's current system as someone with first hand experience. You can now obtain indefinite leave to remain in as little as 10 years! But you'd better keep your damn nose clean if you plan on propping up the ailing British care sector.

From the ashes of an unreleased cultural committee rises a new, stronger, more contentious cultural committee where everyone has beef with each other. It's superhero slop time and we're all hungry for thin gruel or thin gruel derivative. You'll believe a woman can fly!

The government are here to save us at last! Join us to hear about how their grand housebuilding plan is going, what GB Energy is doing for your household bills, and what Andy Burnham is doing to help Honest British Families with the cost of living. Once that's all out of the way we hear about Silicon Valley's latest health hacks, which are definitely not just fetishes that someone is trying to claim as a medical expense.

It's an armageddon special this week, with everyone who works in cyber running around screaming as the internet catches on four, and the Endless Procession of Handsome Generals Who Are Here to Warn You About Russia getting an upgrade from retirees to active service personnel. We also hear about the latest cool craze that those wacky guys down at AI are getting into, and find out just how much cops know about crime.

Josh returns for his Mastermind speciality subject Christian Nationalist thought as we talk about the growth of that ideology in Britain by way of people shouting on Alasdair's high street. It's two handshakes away from JD Vance, cool! Also, we check in with Burnham, BBC cuts, and welcome a new superhero.

Britain is an economic powerhouse bristling with new ideas, and so we're back to "what if the jobcentre gave companies free labour?" again. But that's not all! We're also closing down all our high street stores again too - just go online! And for our main topic we're joined by Gareth Watkins to discuss Britain's one remaining industry: Fabergé Wee Guys.

Join us in putting on a stetson and firing guns into the air for freedom as we do a brief round up on American politics, before learning about some very depressing "advances" in education being funded by weird tech guys, who are also in America.

It's been several years now since Brexit, so we thought we'd stop hunting for bugs under rocks for a little while and invite our good friend Ciaran of Corner Späti into the Podcaster's hovel to discuss the goings on in the Liberal(?) Homeland of continental Europe. We've got some (actually) cool protests going on in France, and a love letter to the political titan that is German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that was bizarrely published in the FT. Plus comment or commentariat.

We've got some global finance news for you all (things are great, don't worry), a TERROR round up (things are great, don't worry), and an update on everyone's favourite nautical troublemaker (lol. lmao even). Then we talk to Dr Charlotte Riley about the UK's ongoing crisis in higher education.
