Partly Political Broadcast ·

2021/03/02

It's budget week and what do you think we'll all get in our financial stocking? Have you been good and donated loads to the Conservatives so that Rishi might not raise your corporation tax? Or have you been bad and held up society during a pandemic so you'll be given nothing but a pay cut, and unwanted council tax raises? We'll just have to wait and see. Plus Brazilian variants, Labour's mess of the Liverpool mayoral elections and a long chat with Dr Chris Roberts (@Chr1sR0berts) about the state of

2021/02/23

Johnson's announced a cautious plan that is so cautious its only allowing all school children to return to schools all at once in that kind of cautious way scientists are recommending not to do. Hopefully everything will be all back to normal by June 21st, though really normal now is 'lockdown' so there's a chance the government could mean that again. The four step plan, unlawful Matt Hancock being unlawful and a chat with Giles (@gilesgrover) and Natasha (@Tasha08921916) at End Our Cladding Scandal

Being Optimistic, Again - Schools reopening, Summer...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2021/02/16

We've got to be optimistic, just like all the other times we had to be optimistic before things got worse. This time though, we have to be optimistic but patient which means being optimistic for long enough for the worse things to stop, time to dramatically move on and then things to get better. Circa probably around 2056. Schools reopening, summer holidays not happening and COVID in the workplace. Plus a chat with Patrick Lohlein (@PatrickLohlein) at EFTA4UK (@EFTA4UK) about other post-Brexit

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2021/02/02

It's important at these times to have nuance and eschew political tribalism. Luckily the past week has made it very easy to acknowledge that actually all political factions are shit and we should probably give up and eat crisps. Article 16, the South African Variant, the government doing everything they could, and a chat with Ramya Jaidev at Windrush Lives (@windrushlives) on the shambles of a compensation scheme for victims of the Windrush scandal.FIND WINDRUSH LIVES HERE:

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2021/01/26

It's clear that all of this is no-one's fault but the coronavirus and if it had only been a completely different virus and possibly even not a virus at all then the British government would've handled it in an expert manner just like they have Brexit or the economy or...oh, oh well. COVID adverts, schooling problems and the return of Brexit Fallout. Plus a chat with photographer and nurse Johannah Churchill (@JohannahChurchi) about her iconic image and the pressure NHS workers have been under for

2021/01/19

Some people have been half vaccinated which is basically a full vaccination to the government as it doesn't mean they've not been vaccinated at all. Universal Credit uplift, social care review changes, ol' Trumpy's last few days as a danger. Plus the brilliant writer Musa Okwonga (@okwonga) talks to Tiernan about his book 'One Of Them' a memoir about his time at Eton College and how it gave him a prelude to Brexit and the non-handling of COVID.PRE-ORDER MUSA'S BOOK 'ONE OF THEM' HERE:

2021/01/12

The podcast returns in your hours of need. 2021 has already made 2020 hold its beer and seems to have started necking bleach instead. But let's face it, its nothing we weren't expecting and now we can all relish in not at all enjoying the most miserable 'I told you so's ever. Rising infections, Northern Ireland being denied Percy Pigs and America going pretty much exactly where we thought it would. Probably should've waited a week or two to return shouldn't I?

2020/12/15

Brexit talks are still happening. Still. It doesn't matter when you listen to this show, they'll still be going on forever. Much like the coronavirus. Much like 2020 which now must be the longest year in history. And there are gunboats to save fish. Luckily the brilliant Moya Lothian-McLean (@mlothianmclean), Politics Editor at gal-dem (@galdemzine) chats to Tiernan about where we go next on this last ParPolBro for the year.

The big news on Brexit is that there is still absolutely no news on Brexit. I mean there might be by the time you listen to this, or we might be STUCK IN BREXIT PURGATORY FOREVER BECAUSE OF SOME BLOODY FISH. But there is a vaccine. That the military may have to deliver BECAUSE OF ENDLESS BREXIT PURGATORY.

The lockdown worked and reduced numbers! Hooray! So that's enough of that, back to a regional system of variable quality as we can't have COVID go completely now we've only just got used to it. Plus Rishi Sunak's Spending Review which was about the sort of fairness where you're keen to make sure everyone has an equally terrible time and there's a chat with writer Peter Gumbel (@PeterGumbel) about his new book 'Citizens Of Everywhere'.Check Peter's website and grab his book here:

Don't worry! The government has saved Christmas, you know in a Munchausen by proxy type way. But you'll be able to share your COVID with all your relatives on December 25th because it is the season for giving after all. Aside from those few days though, we're back to tiers, meanwhile Priti Patel has been causing tears, and Boris Johnson has new green industrial revolution plan that won't work for years.

Dom's gone, Johnson's not allowed outside and everything is because of Lee Cain which you all knew because you all know who that is obviously. This week's podcast is on the government reset which won't work because you can't reset something that's inherently broken, a look at the Human Rights Select Committee's report into Black People, Racism and Human Rights, and a chat with Rachel Flower and Chris Anderson at Excluded UK (@excludedUK) about the 3 million people Rishi forgot.Check the Excluded UK

2020/11/10

The Trump has gone! Well sort of, I mean not really. There's still 11 more potentially terrifying weeks left of him as President. But America voted for Joe Biden, or at least a lot of them did. I mean 71m still voted Trump. But it's the first sort of win in ages for anyone who likes politicians who don't instantly seem like cartoon villains. And there may be a COVID vaccine too! But it'll be like jumping hurdles to catch a train or something. So basically some good things which is nice. This week's

I know I said I wasn't going to do an episode this week but I mean *points to everything* exactly.
