What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

I climb into slippery Starmer's cloak & dagger purge of the Left and end up defending Diane Abbott (??). I also question whether Ed Davey is looking at a career and theatre - and of course we had to break down the landmark ruling in the Trump case. If he goes to jail it could be an HBO show.  JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb BOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode I discuss the Tory's announcement on national service and wonder if they've gone full GILF. Then I analyse Starmer's interviews and why he acts like a wounded fawn whenever someone questions his principles. Plus - for balance - there's a quick mention of Ed Davey falling off a paddleboard.

This is the first of many Breaking News Election specials to come. I talk about why Rishi was man enough to announce it in the rain. Why Keir did it inside because he's old. And why none of the campaign will make any difference whatsoever to the outcome.  JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb BOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

Had a very funny chat with my good friend Ian Stone. We discussed the strategic significance of Starmer's Salmon Tandoori. What kind of kid's book Liz Truss would write. Why topical comedy is harder now there are more lawyers. And whether kids should be taught to call it a 'dinkle' or a 'penis'.  JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb BOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

I review Labour's launch of their 'first steps' strategy to win the next election. There's some praise for Keir seeming less like a mortgage salesman, but also questions remain over how bad he is at answering questions. And of course there's still his voice, there'll always be his voice...

This week Simon Evans joins me to discuss whether Rishi's big speech was scaremongering or if it actually had some good points. I also go in pretty hard on human macademia nut Keir Starmer (there will be letters). We also discuss the Baby Reindeer controversy and if there are double standards at work because the stalker is female. The Patreon only section looks at celebs being boycotted for not 'saying enough' on Gaza.  Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001x8z5/is-university-really-worth-it BOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week I catch up on all the fallout from the local elections which seemed to get worse for the Tories the longer things went. I discuss whether Andy Street was harshly dealt with and if the Greens expected their victorious candidate in Leeds to say 'Allahu Akbar'. We also look at Bud Light rowing back from social justice issues and wonder if it's part of a wider trend.

Despite a b*stard journey back from Guernsey I managed to squeeze this out. I talk about the Tories getting battered at council level, doing not so badly with the mayoral votes and whether I voted Tory for the first time since 2019.... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this huge political week it was great to get Iain back on the show to talk about the upcoming local and mayoral elections & also reflect on the HUMbelievable downfall of Humza. We also speculate on what form a Penny Mordaunt leadership bid would take, and conclude it would involve a cape and a sword.  Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Watch my new BBC DOCUMENTARY: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001x8z5/is-university-really-worth-it BOOK TICKETS FOR MY 2023/24 TOUR  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Buy my new BOOK https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-Explained/dp/B0BZW24B9J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34L9QEBEW3KW7&keywords=geoff+norcott&qid=1693334284&sprefix=geoff+norcot%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

We have a lady this week! Not just that a funny working class Northern lady (so many boxes ticked).
