The Truth (In My Opinion)

Author and broadcaster Natasha Devon is our correspondent this week. Cody endured another embarrassing moment by asking a weekly news commentator with a show on news channel LBC whether she is a newsy person. Natasha’s headlines were however not embarrassing, covering everything from Meghan Markle’s £112 advent calendar to Kemi Badenoch’s avoidance of a potential coalition with Reform UK.

Plus we’re back to regular programming for subscribers with a juicy extra headline. Join us on Apple Podcasts or Patreon.

Many of you having been writing in with your questions about the far right party Reform UK. They still confound lots of us, particularly when it comes to understanding why family or friends might actually vote for them. In this episode, Cody fields SOME of the MANY questions we received about Nigel Fararsehole's merry band of arseholes. What do they actually stand for? Why are they allowed to be a business? And are being too harsh on the people that actually vote for them?
