"Yeah but that was quite self-aware gaslighting" 😂 Ava is honestly one of the funniest people online, wit like a knife

I love your podcast, BUT (sorry about this), there's often an electrical hum in the background of these videos. It sounds like you might have a faulty wire somewhere in your recording studio. Love the podcast though! It's not a big deal and I'm sure you're already aware of the slight sound issue.

The sphere is the literal embodiment of us going full Idiocricy

The best team on KZfaq always ready to entertain and inform 👏 even the most dour autumn statement can be entertaining with your insights.

When starmer turned to someone on the tory bench stared straight at them saying “I'll tell you what she said shall I?" Say what you want about starmer but that was a crack in the calm facade and a sign just of how pissed off he is like many of us with the arrogance of the tories.

Definitely something wrong with the sound here. I've got my speakers cranked up to full and can just about hear you. Theres also a weird hum. Every other video I've watched seems fine. Hopefully fixed for the next one as I love these 😃

Props to Ava, I know there was a lot of joking about it, but at least she could admit that she may have been wrong about that sphere.

Give with one hand, take more with the other. Spin it as the greatest give away ever. That’s the Tories!

My school won a competition to go to the millennium dome, I liked the skull because it had a mock stand up comedy club and the comedian was wearing a Tommy Cooper style fez, the jokes were pretty good in 8 yr old me's opinion. I love that I have nothing insightful about politics to comment and instead woo i loved the millennium dome.

"People aren't stupid" Yes they are, and I should know. I'm one of them.

The episode of Yes Primeminster where Sir Humphrey gets caught saying something on unemployment during a radio interview is basically one half of that policy to cut benefits if people refuse a job.

I think PoliticsJOE should do a bloopers wheel every week or every year celebrating the best of the wild parts of Pubcast and showing us Ed’s banned words list like a crossword

Best 24th Birthday present ever! Cheers PoliticsJOE for your brilliant journalism and your Pubcast!

Favourite moment was when Ava asked haircut "do a lot of people cycle to concerts?" :D

Born and raised in SE London - we definitely don't say 'pummer.' Now live in Stratford and the one good thing about the Sphere is that I would see less of Stratford. Rather telling that the Eye is something designed to look out from, whilst the Sphere is specifically designed so that you can't look out from it. Effectively it's a glorified theatre/cinema covered in a giant inescapable advertising screen.

There should be Accountability for the pure twisted corruption that has and is playing out, the Sunak giving money to his wife via the children care, the oil licences, followed by his Father in laws old company of which he will have a massive amount of shares, invested 1.5 million in BP and the deal that is to be released with India, will be again advantages to his family. The beat goes on and Sunak is bent, as is half the party ! They should be sued when these things are exposed, but Sunak won’t be living in U.K. then!

I for one think the policy they want of forcing the disabled to become cat food and fed into a industrial processor is a bold and radical policy this strong and stable government promised to deliver

Ditch the moustache!☹

what did yall do with the sound it sucks

Some constituencies in Glasgow have over half of there children living in poverty. The child poverty rate in Scotland is more than 4x that of England as a whole

If anything is going to start another Falklands, it is the butchering of the Spanish language on this Pubcast.😂

so quiet guys - get some better mics

Falklands 2: The Falklening

been there with the sage green conversation my friend

Love the content and the podcast when I listen on my phone, but I find the volume than other podcasts and my piece of s**t car can't get volume high enough. Don't suppose you could fix that?

55:05 “…the Sphere, which was going to be a rather large, rather…unsightly building…” I was hoping for a more understated adjective like “unmistakable.”

There is no way labour will be able to get anything done without the Conservatives blaming them for everything. What labour needs to do in their first budget is state in their budget the exact reason why things are being done. We have had to do X because Conservatives did Y, not because we wanted to. But leave the then opposite fight their reason they left office so bad

I love how big Joe is now, i met that bloke in the middle at a squat i was at a few years back in Paddington, he was the only person from the media who took us serious.

I absolutely love your analysis and the style of your delivery. Fantastic chemistry too and I am entirely onboard with your views. May I just ask, and this is not a criticism, what it is that you put in your pre-record bong?

I remember the Falklands War well as I had just started a contract in Saudi Arabia and on some Fridays we would have a drink at the British Embassy in Jeddah. After a few Heineken we would piss on the wall of the Argentinian Embassy which was on the same street #goodolddays

First time I've heard someone else use a Sisyphus simile - I use that reference all the time!

Can you guys talk about the impending homelessness crisis for refugees this winter because of the 28-day move-on period. I would love to hear your thoughts on the suggestion that tents should be provided, especially following Braverman’s latest comments on their use by the homeless.

love podcast a no is the politics Show podcast ladies and gentlemen

I remember when this used to be about politics

What I want to know is if those work placements POSITIVELY improve your benefits. Like, I currently get around £290 a month from Universal Credit (basically the minimum amount as I live with my parents so don't really have anything expenses). At National Minimum Wage, that's the equivalent to about a day's work. So, if I were to get forced into one of these work placements, which would likely be more than one day a week, and they still only pay me for the equivalent of a day's work a week, that seems... I mean, I think it would be extreme (and insensitive) to call it slavery, but companies taking on forced unpaid workers is exploitative as fuck if they're not paying people fairly for that work.

It's racist to say a Scottish person can't swear.

Unless I'm going deaf or my computer speakers are fucked. Please can you sort the sound out. I can hardly hear ya. Cheers J from NZ

I actually think Keir Starmer might be a great Prime Minister, I’m hopeful again even despite his awful stance on the Palestinians and a ceasefire.

29% of children in the UK lived in poverty between 2021-22, according to the Child Poverty Action Group, so it’s probably higher now

Does Ed's Mum buy his clothes?

The parasites in the hair really stuck with me, that and my mother having to explain to my Seven years old self what crabs are

who else wants to see / read Eds complex series of glyphs

Ava is a that Gurl

"milton keynes is a shithole" as soon as my train pulled up to milton keynes is top not matrix coding

19:55 What in Sam Hill's a puma? 29:30 thats the setup for a Black Mirror episode, no?

I’m totally in love with these three humans. Love listening to them chat. Regards from Austin, Texas.

My wife had no idea i wqs going to propose to her, i didn't tell anyone else i was going to do it and when we went to Prague we visited kutna hora bone church, we're big old goffs, so it was fitting, i thought if i didn't do it there when would i do it as it was perfect for us. She cried when i did it. I didn't gwt down on one knee i just pulled the ring out and awkwardly shoved it in her face 😂

Omg we are dyng

Skip the first 9 mins if you want to save 9 mins

audio on this is really quiet for some reason

Isn't Labour saying the same thing?

Love these podcasts but can you sort the sound out, Its really muffled and there's a constant electrical hum which makes the content genuinely difficult to listen to.

Ava Santina LOVES spheres HATES social housing.

"The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power" MLK

Unless the Tories create deflation, the effects of inflation created by them are continuing.

Was that puma? Like the cat?

whos phone keeps going off lol

53:19 xD

Weak unelected rishi and grey pointless red rosette with blue intentions labour = politically lost

objectively the best podcast in politics rn

What else can he talk about

40acres and an ai mule

Speed of a PooMah!

Junta is a silent J, you absolute Puma.

Eva is still a Tory. Thats how she always bloody well is.

💜🤠

What is that on ed's top lip ?

why is there a countdown to a pudcast? Is that ironic?

Totally with Eva on the sphere - not saying I'm all for it but Ollie is being stupid saying it could be used for social housing when it would never have been anyway. If it was a direct choice between the two, he has a point... as it stands, Ava is right. It'll end up being used for something else which doesn't solve the social housing issue

Ed cant read!

That intro is absolutely horrible.

As someone who grew up in milton keynes shes not wrong lol

Too much schoolchild humour. Weak.

OLLIE THERE WAS NEVER GOING TO BE SOCIAL HOUSING WHERE IT WAS. What Ollie was saying was no different to saying "don't put a shop there, it could be social housing" about a big commercial lot which would never have been used for housing.

Awful. Unsubscribed

I'm no tory, but why is this account so left wing? Be unbiased. Let people make up their own minds.
