I'm going to say it. Ed Campbell, son of Alastair Campbell, is the Suella Braverman of the Pubcast. First, he calls all Scottish nationalists moronic simpletons. Before launching into a tirade about how he hates the audience and advocates for anti-abortion. He also advocates for British colonial territory. Stating "We're not giving it back". This onslaught by Mr Campbell is so horrid it makes seasoned journalist Ava Santina burst into tears. As his colleague sits next to him, sobbing uncontrollably. Ed Campbell laughs maniacally at her sorrow. Even Oli "Boomer take" Dugmore is left speechless and stunned. My sources have told me that Ed Campbell has extensive links to the fishing industry in the UK and Big Tuna. Don't believe his lies. #notmygoldenboy #BigTuna

Awhh Ava sobbing after the discussion about the guy flyering for drama. I get where she's coming from. The wholesome sincerity of someone campaigning for that, in the face of all the shit in the world. ❤

The sycamore gap tree was a place where people proposed, had their ashes scattered, and loved walking by. It meant a lot to many people, even if some others hadn’t heard of it.

Absolutely loved Ava's reaction to the flyering story, so out of nowhere and funny but super loveable. Golden moment! Great episode too, cheered me up in a bad week.

Every pubcast just gets better and better, keep the work up! loving it

I love that every episode's "Let's wrap this up" is followed by ten more minutes of madness! It'd be easier to listen to this as a podcast, but it's so much better to watch. Keep up the good work!

Ok so its like this . we have to look at what Hamas have done on it's own , we're not allowed to bring up any of the atrocities committed by Israel against the Palestinians for the last however many decades to give this any context but when we look at what Israel is doing now , has done over the last week and is planning to do then in this case we are not only allowed we are directed to look at what Hamas has done previously hmmm?? an no one sees the hypocrisy

Can't believe they managed to get Rishi Sunak, Kier Starmer and Humza Yousaf all on to the same episode

I love POLJOE but am a bit unsure why they made a whole sombre episode on the russel brand stuff but are yet to give the same level of attention to the gaza bombardment and killing of over 3000 civillians...

Please interview an expert on international law about the situation in Gaza

That was a powerful start... Oli really going for it, Ava with the accidental innuendo and Ed going full jingoistic!

I think PoliticJoes Podcasts are becoming part of the modern canon of political and cultural journalism. Bravo!

The leader of the SNP in Westminster is one of the best public speakers I’ve seen among politicians. 18:03

Palestine is a gift to Sunak and his party - keeping the COVID enquiry off the front pages.

There were a few glimpses of genuine contempt on Ollies face when Ava was blubbering like a weee baby. S+ tier podcasting right here folks.

Really enjoyed the nuanced discussion of the Gaza/Israel tragedies… quite different from lots of content elsewhere. But I think it’s worth just acknowledging that we don’t have access to verified news from Gaza because the Israeli state has not allowed access to journalists or investigators who gather evidence of war crimes etc. So we have to rely on social media content to portray their experiences and it creates space for bad actors to take advantage of that. It’s part of what we should be demanding as an international community: humanitarian aid, basic necessities of life, safe zones, access for journalists and investigators who gather evidence of war crimes. That’s my opinion as someone who has asked “am I being radicalised?” a few times this week.

The Peter Bone investigation was initially an internal Tory Party investigation (hence why it got dragged out), after the complainant got fed up with the Tory investigation dragging its feet they went to Parliamentary Ombudsman who was obviously a lot quicker.

Not sure which I found funnier: Ava’s drama meltdown, or Ed’s drama chops.

So pleased to have witnessed this group therapy session.

Rooney is an embarrassing appointment, we demand a full podcast on this

On the next pubcast where all three of you are present, i demand that Ed's label is changed from 'golden boi' to 'that other guy'. This is what the audience wants.

Every episode Oli has a “what am I doing with my life” look on his face, it peaked with Ava’s tears at 50:25 in this one

Ed’s started his villain arc

It's all very well looking at news sources but they are all often incredibly biased towards a western ideologies if not literally owned by people with political interests.

Starmer has massively changed tack. But his comments of the weekend are unforgiveable. there has been a backlash within Labour. For me, Starmer is unfit for office

Send Ed out around central London with a Scottish £100 note and record the carnage.

Also no reporting of the Pro-Palestinian protests?

Came for the poor taste, stayed for the tuna phobia bullying.

Why are you referring to twitter for your info on Gaza! There are a few tv channels who’s journalists can be trusted & that are on point!

Magna Carta was agreed and signed at Runneymede near Egham in Surrey. Not Windsor! You can walk there and it’s a English Heritage site. It’s a great place for a picnic no matter what the weather. Egham is only famous for three things: 1) RHUL (Royal Holloway University London) which makes Egham swarming with roadmen or posh students like a bee hive on a sweltering summer’s day! 2) A very nice Italian deli which give 30% off for students. Go there - it’s bloody amazing! Cheapest lunch in London. 3) There is a statue of the Magna Carta outside of the Tescos on the high street. It’s a beauty of modern architecture for sure - not where a load of yobs piss all over it if you’re out past the 9:30pm curfew which is the time where the probability of being shanked goes up from 10% to 95%. The joys of Surrey hey! But honestly it’s better than Telford and that’s the main thing.

This might be the best episode

Listening to this on a sleeper bus in Vietnam ❤

Can Joe talk to the “keep arts in schools” person? Mainly because it’s a political decision but partly because I want to see if Ava can keep it together. But we should be celebrating people who are Ernest and Kind .. especially in the Musk era of toxicity

Belmarsh nearly made me spit beer on the keyboard 😁

Awwww, Ava! You are a sensitive soul! Your reaction reminded me of myself. Nice to see some humanity and empathy ❤

I’m sorry but CNN will be the last place I’ll get any news

Ha ha ha buckled as a scot tish watcher I want to get away for Westminster, our own aren't as bad

Not the "mother of parliaments" at all. That is the Alþingi on Iceland, which is around 300 years older. (Anglicised to "Althing" since we stopped using "the thorn" in our orthography, leading to utter nonsense such as "Ye Olde Tea Shoppe. Icelandic, one of not many languages which has the sound we now represent with "th", preserved "the thorn". I mean þe þorn, of course.) This "mother of parliaments" guff seems to have been invented by John Bright in 1865. There are some things to be said in his favour, but world history obviously wasn't one of them. Ferrier wasn't "immediately out". A suspension of 10 days or more triggers a recall petition, which has to be signed by 10% of electors within a time period (I think it's 6 weeks, but not quite sure). If the recall petition in Rutherglen & Hamilton West had failed to reach the threshold, Ferrier would have carried on as the MP. But it did reach the threshold, so there was a by-election. She was still eligible to stand in the by-election, but she chose not to. Most of them just resign when their suspension is confirmed, but it looks like Bone is looking for more humiliation. It's two by-elections now impending. Scott Benton, the Tory MP for Blackpool South was caught for straightforward corruption by a sting operation - people pretending to be from the gambling industry offering bribes. It was all recorded and, unlike Bone, he had the Tory whip removed early this year. How come that one hasn't had more coverage? He must have been known to be an iffy one to be targeted by this sting.

To be fair, I live nearby the woods that the Hundred Acre Wood was based on, and a big chunk of it actually did burn down a few years ago. I think it's mostly recovered now, but we actually sort of did get an equivalent to the sycamore.

I always assumed Oli was T posing to assert dominance over Ed and Ava...

I put Starmer on in the background when I want to sleep.

Really poor uneducated opinions on the crisis in Gaza - why bother commenting when you have no knowledge on the subject

A lot of people are confusing what they believe is moral, what is politics, what is diplomacy and what is the law. I'm afraid that while the Israelis are committing war crimes, clearly a lot of people do not understand what the laws of armed conflict permit and in what circumstances they permit them. A lot more 'inhumanity' than you may think is permitted largely because the governments and for that matter most ordinary people still believe war is justified in some circumstances. Civilians, for example, do not have 100% protection, nor do hospitals or mosques or synagogues and parties to the conflict do not all have the same commitments to support the civilian population in the way many seem to think. A lot of the protection offered is 'circumstantial' and not absolute. I'm not saying this to justify what anyone is doing just to say that many of the 'protections' people think combatants and in particular civilians have are not as definitive as many media outlets are suggesting.

In Arabic and i assume Hebrew countries are gendered as feminine so its probablt quite nuanced of him to say that.

100% agree Oli re: moderation on Twitter going to shit. I left recently after having been served videos on the French knife attack on a childrens' playground earlier this year. I wasn't looking for it - I review books!

As a raging Nat! Well a raging indy supporter - SNP are no longer that vehicle to get us Indy! Fk knows who is? *Shedding Ava-style tears now* 😭

I mean, I was looking forward to some beaver talk, but Ava!?! 😅 and Ed's snorts!!! 🤣

I don’t know… I don’t think this is a conflict between two equal combatants… would’ve liked a more full throated support of Palestine

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the comments in parliament.I mean not all good but compared to the last few days on TV its definitely much more nuanced.

A friend and I had the conversation about women who seek out prisoners as partners and my perception is it’s a control thing, they know where their man is and he can’t hurt her.

I adore this podcast but please can they work their sound out 😂 it’s so muffled and the quality varies across the mics so much!

This is my KZfaq guilty pleasure and those complaining should watch your other content! Loved Beaver Boy, The Filth and Chaotic Neutral edging us all to the final, climatic, happy ending!!! 😅

My beloved club mentioned on one of my favourite podcasts 💙

People need to have access to the reality of what is happening even if it's terrible to see. Else our thoughts on the subject will be formed by how media interpretation tells the story. People should be educated on how to process difficult data and ideas not directed like cattle.

Ava is so funny.

Phenomenal scenes this week. 3 out of 5 Chillis

Oh god I haven't laughed so hard, Ava crying over some twee Tory campaigning to keep drama lessons 😂

51:17 funniest joke of the podcast, Ed's delivery was perfect.

Ed’s prisoners dilemma 😂😂😂

Oli's face after Ava's joke 😂 omg. What a start!

The calibre and morals of Tory MPs, politicans and even councillors in Northamptonshire is shocking! The debacle with the County council, the Borough council and the sixfields loan, the OPFCC and his recent decision making and appointments. Our county deserves much much better at every level of governance! It's been endemic for years!

I think you’ll find Bronson covers himself poo, not butter. 🤔

Why did no one give Ava a hug 😢

Id love to hear you talk more about my beloved Birmingham City and share that pain!

I think you called it right Olly, if Ed decides to become a prisoner pinata they should wrap it up !!

Why does it take them so long to stop behaving like a bunch of annoying kids in the pub...?

Walking beaver

I was waiting for a Bare Bone(r) joke. And all those "Mrs Bone" quips ... they're not going to age well.

And, the likelihood of that, "Two state solution"? Where is the real hope for that?

Ava is such a mood

Ed’s bold choice of dressing like a prisoner from a concentration camp

I'm a resident of Flitwick and I hate Nadine Dorries. Also, Flitwick station still doesn't have disabled access to 3/4 platforms (the one that does is where you exit the ticket office)

I would love the intro to change to “noncing” instead of “nonces” to show hatred towards the act rather than the person

At least the tree ain't 8000 miles away.

the pubcast has taken a down turn this week .. no train talk or beavers

Could you imagine buttered cage fighting 😂😂😂

I never understand how KZfaq creators are allowed to upload a premiere of their video & class it as Live? They literally record it & then upload it at a later time..How is that Live?

Ed 'the filth' is the best!

can you get the balance of everyones voices sorted please?

Hamas has been preparing this attack for years and not alone. They have no sympathy from me right now. There are other ways

Ava "Tobias Fűnke" Santina

I really think Ollie needs to look up the difference between 'tender' and 'currency' if this coin thing is going to keep coming up

coked out of his mind

love podcast a not the politics J podcast ladies and gentlemen

Hartford, birthplace of AA Milne😂

Hmm you're so out of your depth when it comes to Palestine and it shows. Disappointing. Maybe invite people who know what they're talking about next time

I think prison wives are something else guys...

Love podcasts hate Peter Bone!

Clarkson roadtrip was in Argentina, not the Falklands!

Those videos of Hammas attacking were horrifying. I watched too many of them. Also very seriously, Hamas are not the Palestinian people. Who have been oppressed for too long..

Lembik ruined his rep with the cheeky girls, always dancing in my home town, in Wales, nightclub.

2:25 🤦🏽

Can't be bothered telling us about Humza? I can't be bothered watchng to the end 😂

Oh shit .I have to remove Crap by swiping . OH DEAR 21 ST CENTURY VIBES 😂

Is anyone else getting Harry (Ed’s specs), Ron (Oli) and Hermione (Ava slightly more brunette) vibes??

A lot to be deserved? You what?

Less faff more meat you guys. It's very enjoyable faff but it's out of proportion with your actual talking points. If you've asked yourselves "should be talk about politics now?" more than once, then you've found your edit point.

Some whack comments here. Love the podcast, keep it up (as it is lol)

Jorts his fur unbuttered.
