Really nice touch putting Ava's title card as "Did a lot yesterday" 😂

Nice to see Ed’s gradual style metamorphosis into Novara’s Michael Walker is coming together!

Would of loved to hear Harry talk more about his tax piece genuinely had great ideas

My issue with offsetting council tax from the occupier to the landlord, is that it doesn't stop the landlord just charging more for the property as we've seen with the interest rise on mortgages. What safeguards can be applied here?

Good to see most of you (Ed) actually drinking pints during the pubcast, after a shambolic few weeks of coffee and water

The lack of analysis in the tax segment or questioning from the other panelist’s says a lot about how little tax actually interests people beyond slogans like tax the rich. Harry sets out empirical data about the unfairness of the tax system under the tories and the discussion pivots to another segment attacking Starmer! Come on people get serious.

The fucking GTA clip made me cry laugh on the train

Had a horrid day, Ollie’s smile while exclaiming the intro changed that. 💜

I love how Ollie sounds more and more like he's reached a big O during the intros as weeks go on 😅

Harry's got a bit of sass about him I like it

Top form from everyone, this cheered me up so much - thanks all!

Evening all, good podcast keep up the good work. 👍

If you want to go down the "who built the pyramids and when" rabbit hole, consider that 18,000 years ago was when the ice age had a grip on the planet. The Egyptian desert was not. Weirdly, when Europe was frozen, north Africa was in fact less hot than it is today. The area was quite fertile and the Nile not the only source of water. Actually the pyramids are not that far away from the current position of the Nile, so imagine how close it might have been 18,000 years ago. I'm saying that rafts (large ones presumably) were a likely way to move the stones around. That and the abundance of slaves, presumably more than happy to work on these prestige projects.

Sunak was big on the "More maths in schools". Well, here's a maths puzzle for him (rounding and averaging to make it easier): If you have 25,000 schools and each one has an average building life of 50 years, on average, how many will you have to rebuild every year?

Me, an Egyptologist not expecting a discussion on how the pyramids were built 😅

Every intro is more intense, and it's great

The law of economic rent - The land takes all the gains of economic activity. Therefore most other forms of taxation are inefficient. The money will eventually show in the land price, so just tax it back. Great to see this being talked about on the pubcast. Make that man chancellor.

34mil to refurb an office lets find out which mp owns the contracting company

In my opinion one of the stand out features of the US system of government is the fact that cabinet members are from outside the political system. This makes much more sense in ensuring those at the top table are the best people for the given roll, and can offer both expertise and independence from party tribalism. In comparison, you have someone like Gillian Keegan who is clearly being managed by civil servants and outside consultants meaning when ceilings fall she has neither the ability to step up and take control or the whit to accept responsibility as she is no more than a public mascot for her newly refurbished offices !!

Looks like a Lord of The Rings forced perspective shot. Is Lambo really that enormous, or are the rest of you tiny hobbit creatures?

I think the sloping Kings Chamber is an artifact left over from the construction of the pyramids rather than a feature in its own right. I think it was a ramp / channel for sliding weights to enable the hoisting up of heavier blocks - let me explain: If smaller bolcks are pulled up a ramp individually and then fastened together at the top, they can be released together, and that combined weight used, via ropes and pulleys, to raise heavier blocks than could otherwise be lifted on their own in one go. I bet hancock

No subtitles? I thought they would be available.

The intro gives me life

Rishi the night before PMQs - Get me all the stats from the Treasury that can show funding somewhere, anywhere on anything in the education department that went up.

I feel like you didn't necessarily give the tax subject the respect they deserved, he was making some pretty important points, and then Ollie talked about how drunk he was. I dont know what kind of response you could have given, but that wasnt the one.

That was pretty vintage pubcast. "He can't come on RAAK" .... Listening, I thought I was the only one who picked up on it, but of course, my filthy mind is the same as everyone else's ..... #cumonrack

Is the forced perspective deliberate, or is Harry Lambert just huge? The chair seems to fit him.

Weeeyyyyy Northern Ireland gets a mention 😃🕺🏻 You want to do a full show on this place, it’s a complete shit hole. Lots of content.

My dad ended up teaching maths at secondary school 30 years ago with a maths qualification of the equivalent to year 9 sats etc. Didn't start with Tories.

That fukin GTA cut killed me

Takes me 5 minutes of fact checking the prime minister of are country to know he Lies so easily !

This episode was wild. Loved it!

NOT THE DOPE GAMEPLAYS CLIP 😭

Loved the thumbnail for this vid - more like Hollywood Reporter Roundtable and genuinely made me more excited to click on. 😅👊

big scoop getting the rock on the pod

Lesson Learned, check your volume before starting the Pubcast when viewing between teaching classes... There might be a few kids in the corridors wondering what I'm watching that involves screaming about nonces... 😂

Ed being a Black Country New Road fan makes me know I'm in the right place watching this channel

cracking up over the GTA 🤣🤣

When do you start playing DnD?

Their complete lack of understanding of Scottish politics and devolution is frightening

What is Ed doing with a 7up and not a pint?? This is the pubcast not the fizzypopcast!!!

Correct me be if I'm wrong, but aren't students supposed to vote in their home constituency & not their university constituency?

Trouble with the council tax he suggested is, if my property value goes up but my income does. Eg I have lived here for 15 years, but work in retail so my wage has risen like my house has

Yes to a PolJOE pub quiz!

Csn you guys make it look more like a pub?

LOVE PODCASTS HATE NONCES!!!!!

Goddammit Starmer... The country is falling apart and your answer is "we're going to get more Maths teachers!" This is how you stand apart from Sunak?

Andrew Bridgen attacking furlough. 450Bn is not solely furlough, most of it is the COVID blank cheques written to "investors" and the true value based on impact is more like double. Furlough is about the only fair thing to have happened in COVID and it's about time so eone started asking for that PPE money back!!

I finally get why its called Joe. Eva, Ollie and .. uh Jedward

GTA clip just did me in.

How would changes to council tax impact the spending power of local authorities? If people in Burnley are paying less, will this negatively impact the finances of the local governments there, which need even more investment than London councils for example

I'm sick and tired of the likes Ava Santina Evans calling out Kier Starmer for being boring. I would rather have a boring PM who went about their job diligently and efficiently instead of the shit show we have had for the past number of years. Whatever happened to policies not personalities? In fact, had we taken this approach in 2015 and elected Labour we would have avoided Brexit and the preceding shit shower. So what it boils down to for me is is if Ava is more interested in personalities she should do one and become an entertainment journalist, and let someone with a whole brain be a contributor on this channel

Love the idea of politics joe pub quiz. Politics Joe vs Novara Media. Owen Jones could be Quiz Master. Boom! Make it happen 🙏😂😂😂

Ed's mic is pretty bad this ep

This is the young generations' Newsnight.

I think we need a boring leader who actually wants to get things done in a pragmatic way. What has charisma done for us in leaders?

They should have 5/6 week’s holiday a year, that they have to individually book off like most of us with jobs!

Recap by Tammy AI

Ava asking what's starmer cupping deserved a lot more than just "your future".

They do know how the Stone Henge stones where moved. Thousands of small round rocks. Like a bed of small bearings for the stones to glide on.

I gave up politics when i realised it was run like a school. I was about 10 years of age myself at the time. The rest is history.

Labour's new sound bite 'things will just get better i guess maybe...'

Sunak and his one answer fits all questions is wearing thin .

As someone who formerly lectured on the Ancient Near East, I thoroughly enjoyed the history segue 🫠

Maybe let the guy talk about taxes more

Whoop ... its the PoliticsJoe Podcast .... in the words of Dads' Army's Private Fraser .... "Aye, .... We're all dooooomed" lol

I think Olly's missing a beat on the ULEZ shit, the Brexit contingent, even those who now regret their vote are getting worked up into a storm over it, from what I've seen in Birmingham.

Why does the audio sound so toilet!?

Massive shoutout to Dope Gameplay

Quick question for everyone.....are religious institutions still exempt from paying tax? If so that's another huge amount of money that should be looked into why this is not available. Especially as they all claim to do so much good in the world. Just a thought......

Harry's got a bit of Andrew Scott about him. ❤

27:04 Sunak and his innuendos.

Secret language is how 4chan became 8chan became a conspiracy monster. It didn't start with malevolence, it began with an enclave of geeks trying to do good

I mute the beginning! 🤢

The physics engine in that game is not the best

The pyramids were not built by slaves, they were built by zero-hour contractors.

Jesus all their beers are flat.

love podcast hate notes this is the politics joke podcast ladies and gentlemen

You lot don’t have a single PoC on your staff, do you?

How big is Harry? He looks like he's running a school debating group 😂

This remains my sole podcast listening experience, although I do love it, so I don't know if I can claim to "love podcasts", per se... but I do hate nonces.

Please shorten the "drival"

Love the podcasts, but as someone who's generally hard of hearing, Oli screaming into the mic (and it's not necesarilly just the intro either) is extremly irritating, not to mention obnoxious. I hope he drops it at some stage.

Swain is my MP and is an absolute arse! Totally an Arse he’s a silent Mogg in his reality check! Uleze so many cons going on as a 2003 XJ6 3 litre passes the test and is exempt from charge, check what it costs to buy one, decent £2500 or less.

I start these videos muted and never turn the sound on until the arms go down.

you can tell Ed Cambell is Scottish we've two weeks near enough of hot weather and he's as pasty as it was the middle of winter... get some sun lad.. you're looking like a Scottish Casper the friendly ghost

Skara Brae, Makes Howe, the Brodgar excavations!? Come on Ed, Scotland has Stonehenge beat easily! Bloody mainlanders, no wonder the Orkneys are pining for Norway...

Love politics. Hate noncey bois.

😅🤠💜

BUMP

As Ava and Lawrence are as bad as each other , it is my own personal opinion not to listen to anything with Ava present . Channel unrecomended .

I find the forced enthusiasm and the chatty banter tedious. I’d like you to cut the crap and deliver insightful content without the rest. If you did that I wouldn’t switch off like I do now and go elsewhere. I know you are capable of that because I have heard you do it elsewhere but this format really doesn’t cut it for me.

Great podcast but the shouty intro is crap and self-indulgent so I've stopped watching.

Starmer is boring? Tedious waffle from the 4 of you.

bit smug all round imo

Who cares how boring Starmer is lol?

Sat through an hour of that and I didn't get to find out who Ava's weird crush was :( BTW Harry was excellent, more of him and less of Ed in future please.

The start of these podcasts gets cringier every week.
