EP 91 – MOSCOW MULE | Russia, Andy Burnham, Starmer Assassination Attempt & Palestine Action

EP 91 – MOSCOW MULE | Russia, Andy Burnham, Starmer Assassination Attempt & Palestine Action Russia fires on a British yacht in the English Channel. Andy Burnham pivots right.

From media framing of the Starmer case to what Burnham's rightward shift means for Labour's left flank, nothing gets a free pass. Topics this episode: * Russian warship fires toward a yacht in the English Channel * The Keir Starmer assassination attempt — Sal and Don disagree * Media framing and the court of public opinion * Palestine Action appeal upheld — what it means * Andy Burnham's pitch to the right * Nigel Farage and the £5 million question Strong language.

EP 90 – DEFENCE DIFFICULTIES — Healy resigns. Far-right humiliated. UFC shenanigans. Trillionaires.

EP 90 – DEFENCE DIFFICULTIES — Healy resigns. Far-right humiliated. UFC shenanigans. Trillionaires. No Holds Barred Pod is Sal Dodgson and Don McGowan. Politics unpacked every week. News, politics and opinion. More Labour Party losses this week, with Healy and the very squared-jawed Al Carns [who?] resigning over the defence budget. Don argued that he can see the point of Rachel Reeves — they wasted so much cash already. We chatted about the far-right's latest humiliations around the country, when they were vastly outnumbered by decent folk. The two Ryans — Bridge and Ferguson — were arrested … which is nice. Trump's birthday fight club could be rained off, and Musk is a trillionaire. 🤷‍♂️ Don't forget Farage's five million pounds.
