Political Theatre

This week Adam talks about political declarations, the EU, and knighthoods. Mark’s feeling under the weather. I also talk about the DUP, and their role in British politics. Brenda Episode title inspired by the task faced by 10 Downing Street and the whips, along with the song by Miley Cyrus (fight me.)

This week Adam and Mark talk transition/implementation. We also talk a bit of American politics towards the end, for those of you who like that. We’re not lawyers, we’re not politicians (yet) so any opinions on transition should only be used as another source on which to form your own. Episode title inspired by our […]

This week Adam and Mark talk about Britain’s place in the world, the results of Cabinet ministers quitting, and the economics of the future. We also have a small conversation about the US. Title inspired by every single member of May’s government who’s walked out over the last year and a bit, also the great […]

This week Adam’s very down on the very nature of democratic government, and Mark acts as a universal doom-bringer. We get into the constitutional discussion again. Also, something big came out of the Chancellor. Title inspired by a certain David, who may or may not be planning a comeback tour. Also the extremely popular song […]

This week Adam and Mark talk about marching, the EU, Nigel Farage, and various aspects of Parliamentary Privilege. Adam mentioned the book ‘Honourable Friends?’ by Caroline Lucas, well worth a read. The title of this podcast was inspired by the My Chemical Romance song of the same name, and a rather large event held in […]

Adam and Mark discuss large anti-Brexit signs outside Waterloo, and we start to talk about Universal Basic Income, before it all gets very depressing. We’re not sure who’s going to quit the cabinet by Monday. Episode title inspired by Pimlico Plumbers and their bright yellow sign outside Waterloo. Liberal Faschism?

Adam and Mark discuss the big C’s party conference, and all the opportunity it brings. We also talk Brexit, dancing, and the fact everybody seems to hate Labour. Episode title was easy this week, because Theresa May might actually be human, and not a robot.

Adam and Mark talk Welsh independence, the Labour and Conservative party conferences, and everything Brexit (despite Mark’s head hitting the desk.) We also talk about the reality in which we live. Episode title inspired by the Conservative conference data breach, and the fact some high profile members of the establishment had their mobile numbers leaked […]

This week Adam and Mark have been watching TV, namely Theresa May’s speech on the situation with the EU. The ball is, apparently, in their court. We also discuss the elusive Agent Boot. Episode title inspired by Theresa May’s position, and the excellent song by Cage the Elephant (one of their lesser known gems.)

Adam and Mark discuss Parliament, despite the fact they’re back for a week before going back on holiday! What’s the deal with the financial crisis? Is Mark actually considering doffing his cap to Theresa May? Episode title inspired by all the hard work our politicians do, and the annoyingly catchy tune by Barenaked Ladies.

Adam and Mark avoid the subject of religion, talking instead about the religion of politics. We also discuss the history of the Labour party, in brief. Is Labour one man? The name we couldn’t remember was Peter Willsman. Episode title inspired by the excellent song from Green Day (from an excellent album,) and possibly the […]

Adam and Mark talk about dancing, NATO, and they liken a potential Labour Prime Minister to a Conservative one. Episode title inspired by the excellent Gil Scott-Heron and the song of the same name, because while it might not be televised, it’ll be recorded and uploaded in podcast form.

Mark’s away for the week, so here’s a snippet of Adam complaining instead. Vaccinations, Corbyn the anti-semite (again!) and taxing Netflix are on the agenda. Episode title inspired by Corbyn’s impressive ability to stand back up, and the excellent song by Lights (the acoustic version specifically.)

Adam and Mark talk politics, philosophy, and war; in other words, it’s a typical Saturday. The comic mentioned by Adam is this one: http://thewireless.co.nz/articles/the-pencilsword-on-a-plate The title of this episode was inspired by Adam’s loathing of the analogy of the Millennium Bug to Brexit, and the Jamiroquai song of the same name.

This week Adam’s all alone as he tries to get into the mind of Boris Johnson, a thouroughly dangerous place to be. There were other stories, somewhat overshadowed by the former  Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. Can I work out what his intentions were? No, I can only guess. Title inspired by […]

This week Adam and Mark discuss, you guessed it, Brexit! We throw some JC and Antisemitism in there for good measure, along with interest rate rises! Episode title inspired by the NHS, and the song by R.E.M. of the same name.

Adam and Mark talk about the death penalty, a rather sticky subject, followed by some lighthearted dismissal of the UK’s Brexit process. We also talk about cannabis… again! Podcast title inspired by MPs going on holiday, and the song by Kid Rock of the same name. It’s a great song.
