In this week’s caffeine-induced episode, we would first like to apologise for the incessant drilling going on in Maya’s ‘recording studio’, hope it’s not too distracting. Today, we discuss Labour’s new immigration White Paper, is it a step in the right direction, or are they kneeling at the feet of Farage?

In Front Page Faceoff, we bring up the cultural phenomenon that is celebrity court cases, in relation to Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Plus the Rant Room is open for business, where Nige gets mildly annoyed at an article in the Telegraph about parents at work, and in TikTok Takedown, Maya discusses our ’sister’ (lol) podcast The Rest Is Politics with Rory Stewart changing his tune.
