What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

The ever classy Simon Evans returns this week to ask what Andy Burnham's game is on Europe. We also look at the Bank of England firing a shot across his speedy boughs. Then it's onto discussion of surprise developments in the US, where we consider the sweetheart deal with Russia on oil and whether public executions could go pay-per-view.

In the Patron only section we analyse Sandi Togsvig's plan for a rival to Wikipedia with a less than snappy name...

A by election special as I find myself in the weird position of being sort of glad Labour won. Will Burnham's recent bounce continue once he has to regularly answer questions. And has Zac Polanski gone from being the future of the left to having a future in telesales? Over on the right the Tories are weirdly happy about third place while Reform's demise may be over-stated (even if they are getting distracted by unnecessary BS).

Jon Kogan joins me for a chat about Tory party conference and whether Kemi's big memo is an important intervention or just sounds like an R&B album. We look at the shadow front-bench and why they all seem like mortgage brokers. Next we chat about the fact York council have been spending money to remind parents to, well...parent. In the patron only section we respond to the Green Party's outlandish motion on Zionism passed at their party conference.

I had to get back on the mic after Andy Burnham walked into his first big scandal as he chose to come down on the side of (checks notes) the Saudi billionaires who helped fund his 'Manchester miracle'. Will the PM regret his over-keen backing of Man City? I also reflect on his speech which was apparently the greatest single piece of oratory in our time.

It was great to have Dominic Frisby on this week's episode as we looked at some of the tinkering policies being floated at the Labour conferences. Dom has an epic rant about the govt interfering in the housing market while I have a savage realisation about my equity. We then talk about an advert claiming obesity is a 'disease' and 'not your fault'. Not hard to predict where we both land on this
