Reasonable and Lawful Unreasonable Lawbreaking -...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/05/25

A look at driving to test your eyesight, responsible parenting and more exhausting tedious shit that the government keep getting away with. Plus two interviews! One with Christine Berry (@oeufling) and Shreya Nanda (@shreyagnanda) at IPPR (@IPPR), and one with Ghazal Haqani (@socialistinside) at London Renters Union (@LDNRentersUnion)Visit IPPR's website here: www.ippr.orgRead the Who Wins Who Pays

2020/05/18

The Conservatives say they owe it to the children to get them back in schools during the pandemic, which makes you wonder just what it is kids did to them to now deserve this sort of repayment. Plus immigration bill, all the rest of the week's nonsense and awfulness, Brexit Fallout returns and you know you missed it and there's a chat with Dr Tony O'Sullivan (@drtonyosullivan) from Keep Our NHS Public (@keepnhspublic) on how privatisation of the healthcare service has made the now time even

2020/05/11

STAY ALERT! NEVER SLEEP! STAY ALERT! FILL YOUR EYES WITH COFFEE! What does the government's new slogan mean? Why isn't Wales, Scotland or NI doing it? Why does the rest of the world think we're idiots? So many questions and little to no answers. A look at all the new lockdown rules and a chat with Applied Futurist Tom Cheesewright (@bookofthefuture) about just what might happen next.TOM'S WEBSITE IS HERE: https://tomcheesewright.com/ORDER HIS BOOK HERE:

2020/05/04

Thanks to new government methods of numbers not meaning anything, this podcast now has 100,000 listeners a week! You know, if you include all the people who don't listen to it. This week Tiernan (Laddish - The Guardian) looks at tests that aren't, Baby Wilfred BoJo, and the Hancock track app. Plus a chat with a former COVID19 111 call centre worker and another chat (I spoil you I do) with the so very cheery APT Gemma Norburn who talks about being an NHS mortuary worker and cake.FOLLOW GEMMA ON

2020/04/27

Don't worry everyone the Prime Minister is back! Oh wait, no, he was here this morning spouting something about a mugger, but where's he gone now? Anyway it doesn't matter because even though everything is terrible it could have been worse if the government hadn't done the absolute bare minimum required to stop it being the absolute worst. Phew! We should all be so grateful. More chat like this on this week's show, plus some COVODDS and COVSODDS and a chat with brilliant comedian and former care

HEALTH AND THAT - Continued lockdown, PPE supplies,...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/04/20

We are at the peak. Not of coronavirus cases, but of collective stupidity. Badges for NHS staff instead of PPE, a Prime Minister that can't even be bothered to attend meetings and everyone happy that the health service has to now be funding by elderly people doing exercise. A normal podcast episode again, if such a thing is possible anymore, with some COVID-19 myth dispelling and a chat with antenatal teacher and comedian Pauline Eyre (@yespaulineeyre).CHECK PAULINE'S BLOG HERE:

2020/04/13

A not proper episode as Tiernan is having a break, sort of. So some thoughts on the rather bleak last week of pandemic lockdown times including the PM's recovery, Priti Patel's special maths and the leaked internal Labour report. Plus some bonus audio from Tiernan's twitch stream featuring all the podcast descriptions of Michael Gove, Matt Hancock and some stand up, as well as some very old stand-up from the archives. Hope you are all safe and coping ok and a proper episode will be back next

Essential Confusion Only - Lockdown, PM in ICU, the...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/04/07

A slightly later podcast than usual what with the PM's coronavirus symptoms being touch and go, which is probably not the term I should use though it is likely that's how he caught it. We now have acting PM Raab, no end to the lockdown and lots of confusing advice about what you should and shouldn't do. Is there an end in sight? Will the new Labour cabinet help or just fight themselves again? All that plus a chat with Sue Tibballs (@Sue_Tibballs) at the Sheila McKechnie Foundation (@SMKCampaigners)

2020/03/30

ITS ONLY ANOTHER EPISODE ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS. A sentence that will be this podcast blurb for the next 3-6...years. Its ok though because despite us all being locked down and isolation nation, there is still politics happening. Even though most of it is just which MP has coronavirus today. So this week's show is all about our positive PM, self employed non-help, some actually cheery news, sort of, and a traditional ParPolBro tribute to Jeremy Corbyn of every description of him ever used on the

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/03/23

So many things to talk about on this week's show that you can listen to while on lockdown. There's the coronavirus, and the COVID-19 virus and maybe we should also talk about that nasty bug that's going around. No not Michael Gove, I mean the one that makes you cough. Anyway it's all covid up in here with economic historian Chris Colvin (@cliochris) guiding us in what lessons we should take from historical lurgies. Plus a look at the Windrush Lessons Learned review which has nothing to do with any

Do I even need to tell you what this week's episode is about? We're all on lockdown self isolation, you have nothing else to do but tune in and listen. I mean, obviously it's on COVID-19, the Budget and a chat with Mat Lawrence (@DantonsHead) at Common Wealth (@cmmonwealth) but even if it wasn't and was just me repeating the word 'nodules' again and again, you'd still tune in because it's better than staring at the wall till the earth is disinfected.

It. All. Should. Be. Fine. PLEASE SELF ISOLATE WHILE LISTENING TO THIS WEEK'S SHOW.

WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU LISTEN TO THIS WEEK'S SHOW. You can't breathe for all the coronavirus in this week's show, as spread the word, it's all pandemic up in here. But why does anyone care when we're all just so happy that Boris Johnson is still fertile because he needs children like some people need phone chargers, he has to make up for all the other ones he keeps leaving in places.

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/02/25

Say no to unskilled workers, say Britain's top unskilled workers. Yes Home Secretary Priti Patel has been haunting the news all week, introducing immigration policies that wouldn't have let her parents into Britain, insisting the Prime Minister isn't racist and pretending MI5 trust her. But what is unskilled work, and how exactly might British firms train British workers to be unskilled enough to do them? And where oh where is Boris?

A whole load of useless people have gone! Rejoice! Oh wait, they've been replaced by worse people. Boooo. Yes its cabinet reshuffle time again when any hopes of a better future are dashed within minutes as someone you've heard of and don't like is replaced by someone you've not heard of but who is somehow worse. Who's in the new cabinet? What does it mean? Why does everyone who's into eugenics look inbred? Plus a chat with political analyst and writer Jeremy Gilbert (@jemgilbert) on just what Labour

2020/02/11

In Ireland they've voted for change, while in the UK we're stuck with a Prime Minister who once again thinks a bridge that he won't manage to build and will spend millions on will somehow solve everything. Sigh.

Well that's it, Brexit Got Done. Absolutely nothing to talk about on this week's show. It's all perfect living from here, full of bendy bananas and children using helium balloons without supervision. So this week's show is just a low hum and some happy sounds to send you towards sovereignty....oh no wait sorry. There's still so much more to do.

As the UK trickles out of the EU - sort of, kind of, but still sort of there - its ok as we all have 50ps and thanks to Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadker, a weird notion that the next 11 months will be like a football game involving 510 million people. Phew, it'll be fine.

There's no money for old rope attached to old bells, or however Big Ben works, as Brexit will have to happen in silence next week which feels appropriate. This week's podcast is full of noise though, with Brexit Fallout returning and a chat with Otto English (@otto_english) all about who, or maybe what, is Dominic Cummings and why oh why should we care?PART ONE OF OTTO'S ARTICLES ON CUMMINGS: https://bylinetimes.com/2020/01/09/the-odyssean-project-in-search-of-dominic-cummings-part-one/PART TWO:
