By-Election Week / N-Word at the Baftas - Feat. Milo Edwards
24/02/2026 | 46 mins.
A WMPT debut this week. Milo Edwards is a smart and funny young man with a great back-story (which you'll hear more of in the Patron only). We discuss some final thoughts on the Gorton & Denton by-election. Then we delve into the absolute woke paradox that was the N-word at the Baftas.

BREAKING NEWS - Andrew's Birthday Surprise
20/02/2026 | 34 mins.
It's very rare that WMPT leads with a non-political story, but some thing are too big to ignore and the sight of Andrew in the back of that motor will live long in the mind. I also talk about Labour's need to have more of the quiet days they've had this week (in a relative sense anyway). Then it's onto Reform's 'shadow' cabinet which aren't yet shadows.

Too Many Right-Wing Parties? - Feat. Francis Foster
17/02/2026 | 45 mins.
Francis Foster finally deigns to join us after his recent blow-out. As a little break from the rolling Starmer sh*t-storm, we look at Rupert Lowe's launch of Restore Britain and ask if there are too many right-wing parties. We also look at the Tory 'revival' and ask whether it's just a Kemi thing. In the Patron only we unpack a sinister story regarding Labour and the surveillance of journalists.

BREAKING NEWS - A Mad, Mad Week
12/02/2026 | 35 mins.
Sometimes this show is political therapy as much as commentary, so I try to analyse a week where the PM was on the brink, then he wasn't, then he went on to give one of the most bizarre PMQs in living memory. Also, Nigel wanted some attention this week, so I discuss his plan to ban all working from home. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

NUMBER TEN IMPLODING - Feat. Tom Walker (aka Jonathan Pie)
09/02/2026 | 45 mins.
What a week for Tom to rejoin me as we analyse everything that's got Keir Starmer to the brink of an early exit. We chat about whether Starmer has a normal voice he's hiding and whether he'll shortly have to do the world's worst gardening leave. We also discuss the frankly ridiculous notion of theme park queue-jump for people with ADHD. In the Patron only we get into why Bad Bunny was singing only in Spanish at the Super Bowl.

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*
