Show Notes
Dan Davies, friend of the show and author of The Unaccountability Machine: Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions—and How the World Lost Its Mind, joins us to discuss Burnhamism. Or maybe Manchesterism? It’s got to be an ism. It’s got to be the perfect mixture of disapproving of the problem and declaring any solution… simply out of bounds.

Middle East correspondent Seamus Malekafzali returns to discuss the possible closure of the Bab-al-Mandab strait by the Houthis, why an $80bn Saudi defence budget Saudi can’t stop them, and how the US and Israel started something they couldn’t stop if they wanted to… and how this makes every fake Saudi arts or sports or tech washing project more worthless than usual.

We got outpaced again on the life and times of Kim Guilfoyle! But mainly we're here to discuss the Reform Candidates who repeated 1950's slurs into a boom mic (legitimate concerns!) LOUDLY AND SLOWLY, and the life, death, and bankruptcy of our old friend Character AI. Who knew the "Elsa From Frozen Tells You To Kill Your Parents" company that also has horrible unit economics wasn't going to be a viable business.

Musa joins us to discuss the recent controversies with Abu Dhabi, Man City, and why decades of underinvestment in the U.K. left us vulnerable to becoming the playthings of monarchies… also football. But first, we read an article about a perennial favourite subject: people incriminating themselves by text. Check out the Stadio podcast here!

Check out the full episode on Patreon here! Hussein tried to conduct some shoe leather journalism at the beating heart of the Holborn & St Pancras constituency: this one Blank Street Coffee franchise by the station that always has an enormous queue. Sadly he didn’t learn anything, and instead we’ve decided that whatever happens in the by-election, it’s got to be a bellwether of something that is bad for the left.
