I’ve been loving the Private Eye podcast, but they only seem to do about one episode a month. I sometimes listen to The Rest Is Politics but I find it quite hard not to hate Alastair Campbell and Rory Stuart.

Any other good UK politics podcasts out there?

    Political Thinking used to be really good. However now a few politicians go on to soften up their image and it shows (Braverman for example, unsuccessfully I might add).

    Reasons To Be Cheerful is genuinely interesting. Not much hurr durr my team good your team bad crap but genuine discussion on long term policy. Hopefully Ed can convert some of that into actual change when he gets back in.

    Not directly political but: More or Less Behind the statistics is really good. They cover a lot of politics from the lens of numbers and stats.

    Also hate Alastair Campbell. My stomach churns every time he opens his mouth. Maybe because I’ve entered the spin zone? He’s successful revitalised his brand by coming out hard against Brexit and made everyone forget about what he did in government. But he’s still a cunt in my eyes.
