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.

EP 78 – LOCAL ELECTION FALLOUT — Porn amateur wins a seat for Reform UK. Sal questions Farage. Starmer Drama

EP 78 – LOCAL ELECTION FALLOUT — Porn amateur wins a seat for Reform UK. Sal questions Farage. Starmer Drama. Sal is back, thank goodness. 😍 We chatted about her own personal local election results and the fallout, including an exclusive we dropped a few weeks ago about a very NSFW Reform UK candidate putting his own porn onto open social media platforms. There's a brilliant clip of our very own Sal asking some pressing questions to a smirking Nigel Farage. Well worth a watch/listen. Reform didn't fare so well, and we chatted about Keir Starmer and the unbelievable Toryesque psychodrama that's unfolding. CONTAINS SOME SWEARS.
