The Daily Satire

Whichever way you looked at it, March was all about Russians. But how did they vote in the only poll that counted (the one to name Putin's new rocket)? Why is everyone's dad on the podcast? And why is Kim Jong-Un being played by a sixties icon? It can only be The Daily Satire's latest podcast.

As you can see, we have rebranded - and here is what our coverage is going to be for the forthcoming General Election.

Is it the last North By North Westminster Podcast of all? Stay tuned to find out, as we cover a snappy month that shocked us all. At the start of April, we didn't know that Michael Howard would wage war on Spain. Then, we didn't know that Theresa May would call an election. And finally, at the time of recording, we didn't know that Jeremy Corbyn would shoot himself in the foot by refusing to do any debates. So, that explains why we were talking about that. Covering all of the twists and turns is Jack Blackburn, and he is joined by Ben Mepsted, Sarah Anson, Tristan Rogers, and Joe Mills. Written by Jack Blackburn

Theresa May is trying to call an early election, but she needs Parliament's approval. Here's our summary of the process from last month.

Article 50 has been triggered, but Britain is in a political malaise. Which sounds foreign. Not very Brexit. Will there be an early general election? Will Parliament itself collapse? Will the UK collapse? All these questions are pondered in this month's satirical review, as well as our usual check in with the humanoid bottle of Robinsons squash that is Donald Trump. Written and presented by Jack Blackburn Featuring Sarah Anson, Ben Mepsted, Tristan Rogers, Rosie Abraham and Joe Mills. Script editor: Tristan Rogers
