Had a late guest drop out, which gave me the chance to get stuck into some fairly big news stories which have broke since last week. From Trump bombing Iran's nuclear facilities to Starmer seemingly not having a view either way. From bad economic news to Farage robbing the rich to feed the poor. I also discuss the BBC News presenter bold enough to correct some language around pregnancy.

BREAKING NEWS #44 - The Fat Police One
Bit of a smorgasbord this week as I pick up some political loose ends, including 'Big Ange' looking good at PMQS and problems with the Tory 'talent' pool. I also suggest the changes in reproductive rights might be a surprise to most people. Then I get into correspondence from actual policeman on why coppers ain't what they were.

WHAT THE F**K ARE WE LIVING THROUGH? - with Mark Steel
A cracking episode this week with Mark Steel. We discuss grooming gangs and Starmer swivelling in a constant state of U-turns. Plus we examine why this week's G7 could be the most depressing ever given global events. We also chat about the rising stock of Father's Day and why men still die younger.

BREAKING NEWS #43 - Rachel's Spending Splurge
With a U-turn and bad jobs news on the way in, Rachel Reeves still doled out the cash (even if she made it sound like a punishment). More for defence and the NHS plus good times if you've got shares in Taylor Wimpey. But will tax go up? (not a rhetorical question).

DO WE NEED ANOTHER THATCHER? - with Iain Dale
Iain Dale joined this week to talk to me about his new biography on Magaret Thatcher. We discussed the biggest misconceptions about the the Iron Lady (including how left-wing she was as education secretary and might not have been the first 'milk snatcher'). We also discuss solid reasons why modern politicians are unlikely to ever match her grit, even if she remains a divisive figure. In the Patreon only section I ask Iain how Lady Thatch would've approached this week's spending review.

Acerca de What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott
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*
