Quiet Riot

What a start it has been to the general election campaign! Glorious gaffes and kneejerk policies galore. Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith are joined on their new politics podcast by old friends economist Miatta Fahnbulleh who is standing for Labour in Peckahm and the inimitable Ian Dunt (guess what the rating of this episode is – go on, guess) to pick over the wreckage. And in Part II we talk economic policy. Can a safety-first approach stimulate Britain out of stagnation? Plus, we talk about that Diane Abbott mess. All this and regular features Wokey Dokey, The Week's Politics in 60 Seconds (we ALMOST make it this week), and new You Gotta Troll With It.Subscribe to the podcast, like, review and rate us, and share the joyous news on social media.

Sunak's statement, finally calling a general election in the pouring rain, landed (badly) as we recorded our very first episode. Coincidence? Well, yes, obviously. But what an auspicious start for Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith's new politics podcast. Produced by Kenny Campbell, in cahoots with Sandstone Global. Our first guest is the brilliant More In Common's Luke Tryl."We hope to reach a community of listeners who want to take action - that crosses party lines.
