Shitting in sunaks lake is objectively funny, another indiction of eds poor political instincts

shoutout to PolJoe for consistently being so good with their news coverage when will Ollie run as an MP

Thanks for the shoutout guys (from Eben who’s reluctantly voting Lib Dem). I haven’t managed to binge all the episodes yet but I’m almost there 🙏

Pretty poor opsec of Ed to reveal he’s going back from Glasto on the train, he’s gonna be so easy to track down now.

* ahem * ok - here's some politics : "Starmer will never allow PR - he didn't even let members vote on candidate shortlists. History suggests he's more likely to erode democracy within his own party than weaken his grasp on power by enacting PR". There - I said it.

Who tf did Ed dirty with those close up shots 😂

the AV ref was designed to fail. AV is NOT PR, so anyone who like the current system rejected AV and anyone who wanted PR rejected AV. it was NOT a ref on PR.

The only logs in lakes Oli approves of are beaver logs

"Anthony Lynch, the Cork corner back, will be the last person to let you down - his people are undertakers" Michael O Muircheartaigh

We had a straw poll in our local council about whether to keep our recycling facility (which was very well used by locals and further afield peeps), there was a resounding reply to keep it, yet the council still closed it down which we believe was their intention all along.

RIP to Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh. He was a legendary sports commentator in Ireland, particularly on radio, who would flit between English and Irish on occasion. Many people would mute the tv to have his radio commentary. He could bring you to any game just by his descriptions. For several decades of his career, he was also a school teacher. Some of his classic commentaries included: He’s on the 60, he’s on the 40, he’s on the 20, he’s on the ground. Séan Óg O-hAilpín, his father's from Fermanagh,his mother's from Fiji. Neither a hurling stronghold. Teddy McCarthy to Mick McCarthy, no relation, Mick McCarthy back to Teddy McCarthy, still no relation. Pat Fox has it on his hurl and is motoring well now...but here comes Joe Rabbitte hot on his tail...I've seen it all now, a Rabbitte chasing a Fox around Croke Park! Colin Corkery on the 45 lets go with the right boot. Its over the bar. This man shouldn’t be playing football. He’s made an almost Lazarus-like recovery from a heart condition. Lazarus was a great man but he couldn’t kick points like Colin Corkery. For those of you with little/ no interest or knowledge of traditional Irish sports, instead enjoy his thoughts on making a ham sandwich (to get a feel for the man and his use of language) - search for the Irish Times youtube video starring him.

Sitting in Wales, watching the English complain about FPTP, happily waiting for 2026 where I get to vote in a fully PR election

Were you at a loss for what to do with Ava's camera? 😂 Edstreme closeup!

14:55 Anthony “Mangonel” ‘projected’ to keep his seat. Thought he was a unit in AoE 2

Love podcasts, hate nonsense? Then the podcast starts at 16:00, everything before that is just nonsense.

Hey all, I'm an American who follows this podcast, Yanis V. when he discusses the UK, Novarra Media, and Extinction Rebellion. When you began with the lake defecation protestor story I immediately assumed it was Roger Hallum and also being mortified. If you read this Roger, I apologize, I think.

I can just see Ed Davey turning up for PMQs, dressed as Mr Jolly, screaming “Red raw stump! Red raw stump!” 😂😂😂

People absolutely do still sit on the stones and honk a bifta during the solstice. The other year some absolute madlads let off a firework.

Lichen apathy: "Druids care about that sort of thing" That's like saying when species are lost to deforestation, "environmentalists care about that sort of thing"
