No Holds Barred Pod

EP 83 – UNINVITED — Trump forgets his own son's name. Sadiq Khan for the win. Cheap opera tickets.

EP 83 – UNINVITED — Trump forgets his own son's name. Sadiq Khan for the win. Cheap opera tickets. No Holds Barred Pod is Sal Dodgson and Don McGowan. Politics unpacked every week. News, politics and opinion. We chatted about Labour's cost of living offerings this week, it's safe to say that neither were particularly enamoured. They have been very up and down this week, with some questionable choices to help in the forthcoming oil wars and removing fit notes from GP's remits. Trump is seriously losing in the ongoing battle for his attachment to reality, and this week appeared to forget his own son's name. Sadiq Khan took on Palantir. Don't forget Farage's five million pounds.

EP 82 – UNVETTED — Reform's plumber problems. Farage in hiding. Local government under the spotlight. No Holds Barred Pod is Sal Dodgson and Don McGowan. Politics unpacked every week. News, politics and opinion. REFORM ROUNDUP™ — Reform UK have put up a plumber for the Makerfield by-election, but he has a highly questionable past. Farage is STILL ducking scrutiny over his five million pounds 'bung' from Thailand. Reform UK councillors are being filmed, failing in their jobs and admitting that they don't have the first idea about government. Don't forget Farage's five million pounds.

EP 81 – BAT$H*T AND BROKEN — Farage flounders. HS2 insanity. Reform vetting disaster. Far-right failures everywhere

EP 81 – BAT$H*T AND BROKEN — Farage flounders. HS2 is bat$h*t. Reform vetting disaster. Far-right failures everywhere. No Holds Barred Pod is Sal Dodgson and Don McGowan. Politics unpacked every week. News, politics and opinion. We discussed this week's Unite the Kingdom rally — how much of a disaster was it? Ryan Bridge was arrested, Reform's new by election candidate has strong links to the extreme far-right. And Trump is teetering on a knife edge. HS2 is INSANE. Don't forget Farage's five million pounds, and we apologise in advance for a clip of Rikki Doolan butchering, You'll Never Walk Alone.

EP 80 – TOMMY ROBINSON'S FLAG RACE — Five million pound gift. Divide the Kingdom. Starmer vs. Burnham

EP 80 – TOMMY ROBINSON'S FLAG RACE — Five million pound gift. Divide the Kingdom. Starmer vs. Burnham. We chatted A LOT about Andy Burnham in this episode. It's fair to say that Don and Sal got into it. STARMER THE DRAMA-LLAMA CALMER just kept on keeping on as though nothing was happening! Tommy Robinson's Flag Race happens as this goes out on Saturday, Sal will be on the opposing march so we'll have some updates from the scene next week. And Nigel Farage is in BIG TROUBLE. His gift from Christopher Harborne metamorphosised from gift, to payment for security, into a reward for Brexit. Which is it, Nige? Pick a lane. CONTAINS SOME SWEARS.

EP 79 — MEDIA MADNESS — Reform Roundup™ — FIVE MILLION POUNDS. Media in meltdown. The war rages on.

EP 79 — MEDIA MADNESS — Reform Roundup™ — FIVE MILLION POUNDS. Media in meltdown. The war rages on. The insane coverage of a thing that hasn't yet happened is dominating our air waves and preventing us from knowing any other news. So you would be forgiven for thinking that the war in Iran is over ... it isn't. Farage's bung dominates the headlines, but there are other failures within the Reform landscape, including twelve local councillors falling by the wayside already. Oh, and Don had a rant about Paddy McGuinness! CONTAINS SOME SWEARS. We have a website. ⁠⁠⁠noholdsbarredpod.com⁠⁠⁠ [http://noholdsbarredpod.com/] Join us, won’t you.
