  • Episode 22. Is Braverman The New 'Bastard'?
    Jan 26 2026

    Burnham or Braverman, who is the most awkward of the latest awkward squad unhappy in their big political parties? Braverman in defecting to Reform will invoke the famous John Major 'bastards' label given to his right wing cabinet rebels whilst Burnham is now consigned to what he does best, running Manchester and sniping from the North while plotting his PM challenge. This episode is 30 minutes of current affairs from the UK's leading commentators in a frenzied news period, opinionated but welcome common sense.
