About this episode
The episode discusses the absurdity of UK politics through the lens of a young council leader and recent controversies surrounding wokeness and transphobia.
UK newspapers are desperate to convince you that the future of politics in the country is a weird 19-year-old Reform council leader in Warwick. It doesn't matter that Warwick doesn't have a cathedral (it's just a big church! it's not the same thing!) and none of the upstart right-wing politicians want to address the actual quality of life issues. The issue is, as always, wokeness. Also, we talk about recent (bad; transphobic) developments at Stonewall and the weird freak wizard lady who always shows up for some reason.
