016: Dial H for Hunt. Wot Miriam said...

Since our last episode, Twitter’s been livelier than a 90’s warehouse rave, spicier than a vindaloo, and as fractious as nursery full of toddlers who have missed their nap.

The Tory party is imploding and we have a new chancellor. The British government are all over the shop but… for anyone who was wondering why there was a little gap between episodes, we take a moment at the top of the show to welcome to the world the newest member of the anti-growth coalition.

Elsewhere there’s Sturgeon’s thoughts on the Tories, Hunt-Hunt-Hunt, a lot of very strong language, Yvette Cooper demolishing Suella Braverman, and some thoughts on the new health secretary’s week that in any other week, would be the worst performance by a politician without soiling themselves live on TV in a white suit.

Producer’s note: If you can hear some occasional banging, it definitely isn’t Jemma fracking in her back garden.
