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.

STARMERGEDDON - Feat. Francis Foster
21/04/2026 | 49 mins.
Francis Foster joins me to pick the bones out of several days of chaos for our glorious PM. From the revelations in the Guardian, to his painful address in the commons down and then Olly Robbins testimony, we ask whether it's damaged him or confirmed what people already thought. Also - as Francis has a book on teaching coming out - we look at the govt's u-turn on banning mobile phones in schools. In the Patron only we react to Nigel Farage's surprising broadside against online racists.

BREAKING NEWS - The Rise of The Femosphere?
16/04/2026 | 38 mins.
In this breaking news episode I discuss some eye-catching research which suggests young women are more hostile to young men than the other way around! I also chat about a BBC sting where people have so keen to pretend they're gay they've been doing selfies with Peter Tatchell. And Keir Starmer - prior to the news about Mandelson's appointment breaking after I recored - was in surprisingly chipper mood.

SADIQ Vs SUVs - Feat. Mark Nelson
14/04/2026 | 48 mins.
Delighted to have Mark Nelson back on this week as we ponder everything from Sadiq looking for more ways to tax people to why Scottish politics is in its 'Post Pete Sampras' era. We also chat about a good old fashioned bit of woke nonsense as Sabrina Carpenter gets in trouble for not knowing Arabic chants from yodelling. In the Patron only Mark gives us a death story with a real twist.

DEEP-FRIED TRIPLE-LOCK - Feat. Alun Cochrane
07/04/2026 | 49 mins.
The genial Alun Cochrane makes a welcome return as we discuss the starter gun being fired on local elections. We wonder whether the triple-lock is sustainable (whilst also knowing we're risking the wrath of boomers). Then we ask how Keir Starmer thinks not getting into a war will translate into votes for local govt. Also, what's a good/bad night for the Tories? No-one knows. In the Patron only we discuss the little sh*ts ram-raiding shops and what to do about it.

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*
