A rare Saturday upload as I've taken a while to digest all of the 'seismic' election results. Will Starmer stumble on? Are Reform on course to run Britain? Are the Tories 'green shoots' just cress? Will the Greens ever realise they too are divisive? All this and more in a local election special. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
LOCAL ELECTON 'FEVER' - Feat. Iain Dale
06.05.2026 | 45 min.
Given it's a big political week I got the big dog himself, Iain Dale, in to help summarise the stakes for the main parties (of which there are a lot). Will this be the tipping point for Keir? The graduation moment for Reform or the day the nutty Greens arrive as a national force? (even though it's supposed to be local). We also discuss my brush with the Karens and in the Patron only whether we lost friends during the Brexit years.

BREAKING NEWS - Starmer Starts Glitching
01.05.2026 | 33 min.
Plenty to catch up on after Morgan Mcsweeney turned out to be a terrible super-villain, Keir needed to sit down in a darkened room and dodgy Nigel was caught out on donations. I also chat about people thinking Reform are extreme and whether the King might have a new career in front of him.

DONALD & THE KING - Feat. Erich Mcelroy
28.04.2026 | 47 min.
With the King visiting the US amid febrile times and another assassination attempt, Erich McElroy returns to give his view on politics stateside. Closer to home Keir Starmer is getting more Boris comparisons than he's comfortable with and might yet have to face the same privileges panel! In the Patron only we talk about being pathetic modern dads who cry at everything.

BREAKING NEWS - Rats & Sinking Ships
24.04.2026 | 35 min.
Plenty to mop up from the week. From devastating articles to even Pat Mcfadden not rowing in behind him, it's fair to say Starmer is close to being read his last rites. If that wasn't bad enough, Diane Abbott has been appearing on more TV shows than Bradley Walsh as she prepares to dance on his grave. In other news Reform have said we're not positive enough about Britain, but also that every school needs a portrait of the king. Hmmm.

In an overwhelmingly Lefty comedic landscape, right-leaning stand-up Geoff Norcott is a rare beast. In WMPT he gets to the heart of what ordinary people think about social and political issues. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt, but without being a dick. Mostly. Guests come from across the social and political divide, including, Romesh Ranganathan, Jonathan Pie, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more. Geoff has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Backstage with Katherine Ryan, Would I lie to You? Have I Got News For You? The Last Leg, Mash Report, Question Time, Mock the Week and pops up frequently on UK political debate programmes. Geoff's book 'Where Did I Go Right?' came out in 2021 and top the political comedy best-seller list on multiple occasions. Geoff also won an operational medal for his five tours performing to British troops in Afghanistan. "One of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe." - Sunday Times "A Right laugh." - The Guardian*
