Episode 19 - Jo Swinson's Gritty Reboot of the Tufty Club

Polls! Polls? Polls.
 
Rather than have a big obsessive panic about number go up, number go down, we take a look at what MRP actually means, and the reasons that polling is a bit pointless until the only poll that matters; the exit poll.
Also, we take a brief look back over the Climate Change debate, a fun jaunt into the CUKTIG Manifesto Pamphlet and enjoy the fightback against media bias through twitter antics that have forced Jo Swinson to carefully avoid denying allegations that she's a squirrel murderer (again, we live for this) (also, RIP Richard Miller)

Episode 18 (Part 1/2) - I wanna be. the sensiblest, like no-one ever was...

We're on a roll!
 
In part one of our first ever two part episode, we cast our minds back to when Johnson and Swinson lived out their personal nightmares on live TV.* We also chat voter registration and the baffling state of the BBC turning full propagandist, before pivoting hard left towards the Labour Manifesto.
 
When we recorded this we originally intended to just run for the usual one episode length, but it turns out that when you give a load of socialists good policies to get out there, we don't shut up, so that's why you've got a two parter.

Episode 17 - Epseventeen Didn't Kill Himself

Editing delays have been plaguing us, so apologies for the late release. Should be back to normal pretty soon!
Join us for a look back at some of last week's highlights in election hell, including our takes on the first election debate, laughing at Jo Swinson trying to go full Welcome to City 17 as some sort of complaint, and a complete failure among us to grasp exactly how Lib Dem policy even exists.
Also, as always, more Comment or Commentariat.

Episode 16 - Would EU like to know more?

Slightly late release here, but we're taking a little break from the election to cover something that we're all sick to death of talking around - the EU.
 
Rob leads the discussion with a primer on what the EU is, leading to some discussion on whether or not the EU could ever truly be something good, and we deep dive into the bendy banana bunker for some choice headlines in our guessing game, where the answer is always hellworld.

Episode 15 - The Clown Shoes of Respect

We've survived war christmas, and we didn't even have to travel back to 2016 to do it!
 
Another week of news, another series of self-owns, including the Brexit Party collapsing in on itself, the Lib Dem's making sure they follow the lead of another protest vote party and doing the same, Johnson attempting to appear as if he didn't fall out of a spacecraft and Swinson fully embracing the death of humility.
Also, David unleashes a special article to Alasdair's torment, and all it cost him was 5p on a plastic bag.

Episode 14 - Campaigning and You

It's election season, and that means that loads of people are going from door to door to get their party's message out. In this episode, Michael, Seb, Chris and our guest Alicia talk about what's involved in campaigning, how to navigate the kinds of questions that come up on the doorstep, how to contribute if the doorstep isn't your thing, and just generally why it's a good thing to do!
We also cover the concept of Purdah, with a handy briefing on what it encompasses and how you can spot potential breaches of such.

Episode 12 - Power-Ups in a Union

Video games are fun, but have you ever worked in the Video Game industry? Turns out, it can be a bit worse than you might expect. Join us to hear some of the awful things the industry has done, and some of the good news around changing practices as workers start to organise. Also, rather than Comment or Commentariat, we play "Guess the Scandal", which is sure to be fun for all the family.

Episode 11 - Swindling Here!

It's election time!
 
Hosting the celebrations are Rob, Natalie, Alasdair, Jon and Xander. A little look on the news, including the people who are getting out of dodge before we see ++ HUMILIATION FOR THEM ++ in the papers, and a nice look at the Lib Dem strategy of just outright lying about how graphs and numbers work. Also, Comment or Commentariat takes a turn for poor Alasdair.
