Show Notes
Fresh from my Question Time appearance I spill some tea about being on the show, including why Suella Bravermann once got the hump with me. Then it's on to Andy actually making a big decision re the Jackdaw Gas site, and why the Greens were glad to have something climate based to talk about. However, I'm not so sure about him going on Celebrity Gogglebox.

More from What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott
Marcus returns and has some strong opinions on young people who won't work for a living. We also chat about whether saying mental health is the same as physical health is something anyone really believes. We then look over the channel to Paris and ask whether the obsession with right-wing extremism has led to blind spots about what happens when the left gets involved with protests.
Was good to have a PMQs this week to crystallise all the big political issues. Is Andy Burnham a PM who likes to 'faff'? Is Kemi the military expert she thinks she is? And are we seeing a general revival in the fortunes of the uniparty?
The ever classy Simon Evans returns this week to ask what Andy Burnham's game is on Europe. We also look at the Bank of England firing a shot across his speedy boughs. Then it's onto discussion of surprise developments in the US, where we consider the sweetheart deal with Russia on oil and whether public executions could go pay-per-view.
A by election special as I find myself in the weird position of being sort of glad Labour won. Will Burnham's recent bounce continue once he has to regularly answer questions. And has Zac Polanski gone from being the future of the left to having a future in telesales? Over on the right the Tories are weirdly happy about third place while Reform's demise may be over-stated (even if they are getting distracted by unnecessary BS).
Jon Kogan joins me for a chat about Tory party conference and whether Kemi's big memo is an important intervention or just sounds like an R&B album. We look at the shadow front-bench and why they all seem like mortgage brokers. Next we chat about the fact York council have been spending money to remind parents to, well...parent. In the patron only section we respond to the Green Party's outlandish motion on Zionism passed at their party conference.
