The Tory press and pundits reacted as rationally as you'd expect to the new UK-EU deal, accusing Starmer of sneaking back into the EU, betraying the British taxpayer, and all their favourite themes. But exactly what are they saying and how much of it is legit? Plus, with the potential abolition of the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport, we ask why governments can't see the positives of culture? And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, it's 20 years since The Thick of It hit our screens. Politically, does it still hold up?

D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) is one of the most famous novelists of his era - and one of the most difficult to pin down. Was he a tasteless, avant-garde pornographer? Or the greatest imaginative novelist of his generation (as E.M. Forster once said)? What should we know about his hard-luck childhood and turbulent adult life? In this episode, Jacke talks to biographer David Ellis (D.H. Lawrence: A Critical Life) about the struggle to capture and convey the essence of Lawrence's life and works. PLUS Dorian Lynskey (Everything Must Go: The Stories We Tell About the End of the World), an expert in literature about cataclysmic events, stops by to discuss the last book he - and others - might turn to at the very end.

After possibly the most aggressive speech on immigration ever made by a British Prime Minister, we attempt the adult conversation on the topic that politicians won't have. Why can't Britain accept the benefits of immigration? Who's going to bail out the care system when it collapses? And what the hell is Labour playing at anyway?

As Labour panic and freak out over Runcorn and the Locals, is Starmer drawing the wrong conclusions from the votes? Is “Reform are right, don't vote for them” the best they can do? Or should they pick more fights with the Right? Plus, what if this newfangled populism isn't so new after all? We talk to Quinn Slobodian, author of Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right, about why the shape-shifting Right are so hard to lay a glove on.

In this episode, Jacke talks to author Dorian Lynskey (Everything Must Go: The Stories We Tell About the End of the World), who immersed himself in apocalyptic films and literature to discover exactly what doomsday prophets have been saying for the past few millennia - and what that can tell us about the people and cultures that listened.

Donald Trump's tariff masterplan is working! Well that's just utter bulls**t, isn't it? Trump's decision to reverse global tariffs for 90 days caught everyone by surprise, even us! Dorian, Hannah, Matt and Marie recorded the whole pod before the announcement, but don't fear, Andrew Harrison and The Guardian's Rafael Behr were on-hand to add some reaction to the tariff u-turn.

Trump is upending the world once again. We go on a whistlestop tour of tariffs, woke and the far-right in our latest show. First up, trade policy expert Dmitry Grozoubinski joins Andrew Harrison to explain why chaos is inevitable, following the new tariffs. Then into the main bulk of the episode, dinner time's over for the tofu-eating wokerati… apparently. Some say the dawn of the post-woke world is upon us, but is it really? And what does that even mean? Also, what's the state of hate in the UK? Luckily, Hope Not Hate has compiled a 140-page report detailing precisely that – and their Director of Research, Joe Mulhall, joins us in the studio to get into what's in it. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, after more than two centuries WH Smith leaves the high street. Is anyone surprised? But is the high street really dying or is it just changing?

Why are we so obsessed with the apocalypse? Is it a reaction to the state of the world—climate catastrophe, regional wars threatening global conflict, pandemic scares, and the unsettling rise of AI—or does it run deeper? Is it inherent to the modern world or, perhaps, the human condition? And why are we so captivated by apocalyptic stories in books, films, TV shows, video games, and art—sometimes improbable, sometimes terrifyingly possible?Dorian Lynskey explores these questions in Everything Must Go. He starts in ancient times, with a detour through the Book of Revelation, before focusing on the 19th century, when humanity began to grasp that scientific advances could both transform and destroy the world. The 20th century brings the bomb, robots, and intelligent machines—the seeds of a potential end. Like the best non-fiction, Lynskey's focus on a specific subject—armageddon—offers deeper insights into how we view ourselves, interact with others, and perceive our world.Buy Everything Must Go: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/everything-must-go-5*Dorian Lynskey writes about music, film, books and politics for publications including The Guardian, The Observer, the New Statesman, GQ, Billboard, Empire, and Mojo.

GO TO PATREON.COM/REELPOLITIK AND SUBSCRIBE TO HEAR THE FULL EPISODE HERE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-309-mega-114637979 When he came down to visit last weekend, I was able to persuade (well, more sort of "trap") retired Reel Politik co-founder Tom Foster into appearing on the show again - his only condition being that it be released exclusively on the Patreon rather than to a "mass" audience. This was, in my view, a price worth paying to have the chance to chop it up with my good mate Tom once again after what is probably a good couple of years, and to get his thoughts on Francis Ford Coppola's divisive epic MEGALOPOLIS, as well as the upcoming work of Clint Eastwood and the Nick Love/Danny Dyer axis. I also recount my recent discovery of an old article by centrist thought guru Dorian Lynskey where he uses the n-word. Peace + love, JFR
It's not been plain sailing for the Labour government since the election, but what's the state of play within the wider party? Now we've had 100 days of Starmer, how are the factions behaving, and where does the real power lie? Morgan Jones is a contributing editor for Renewal and formerly of Labour List – she gives us the lowdown on it all. Plus, why has the UK economy stopped growing? And following the international investment summit is Labour capable of righting the sinking ship? Then in the Extra Bit for subscribers: Bookshaming. What is it and is it ever okay?

Can the party regain its bearings and return to a pre-Trump era of relative sanity – or is it too far gone, and its supporters too radicalised?

Starmer's meeting with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni caused quite a stir. Is it meeting with her in the first place that's the problem? Or is it because Italy's deal with Albania over migration is, at the very least, problematic? The panel discusses how the Government should navigate world leaders it might not agree with. Plus, Sir Ed Davey wants his Lib Dems to replace the Tories as the official opposition. Is that a real prospect or an idea as silly as his many campaign stunts? Then, in the Extra Bit for subscribers, John Elledge says space is "boring" in his latest column for the New Statesman. Is he right, and why is it all Elon Musk's fault?

• OGWN Live in Liverpool, Mon 23 Sept. Tickets here. • OGWN Live in Hove, Weds 9 Oct. Tickets here. Immigrants across all parts of the UK have been reported to be living in fear over the violent anti-immigration riots.

Because immigration is so central to this issue, what are Labour's plans apart from scrapping the Rwanda plan? UK and EU migration expert Zoe Gardner joins the panel to discuss all of that.
