Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 76.
This week:
* Rishi Sunak reels from two by-election losses, prompting speculation about whether another leader would do better
* Sadiq Khan politicises London’s Overground network, giving woke names to four of the six lines in the network
* Alexei Navalny is murdered by Putin, rendering his attempt to come across as a seasoned elder statesman in his interview with Tucker Carlson rather pointless
* Plus everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke
* Premium content in this week’s episode includes Trump’s bizarre decision to start selling trainers, the row between a father and daughter on X and the Based Department, in which Toby and Nick manage to find a few nuggets of soundness in what remains of Great Britain
