Very funny episode this week as Baroness Hazarika gets lucky to join me in the first week for a while where Labour haven't been s***ing the bed. We talk about the fights they're willing to have with the Right and Left in the upcoming budget. We also talk male objectification and whether MSM have a hypocritical blind-spot. In the Patreon only section we talk about why Trump flipping burgers is a genius move.  Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-explained/dp/1800961308/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

I was delighted to have big time Konstantin Kisin back on the show this week. We both worried that Labour might say they're big business while simultaneously scaring the crap out of investors. We also spoke about why Elon was not allowed to Britain but might be allowed into space.

Delighted to welcome the most Italian sounding person of all time to this week's podcast. Vittorio had some strong opinions about Phillip Schofield and also a stunning theory as to Sue Grey's murky past. We also discuss offence in comedy and why Vittorio had one of his shows cancelled for a joke about Valentine's cards.

I'm not sure there's ever been so much to cover from a three day period. From Starmer's 6k refund, to Lord Alli's investigation, giving away the Chagos Islands, a drop in investment and private school numbers.....the Labour Party have been BUSY.

This week I had the lovely Erich Mcilroy back on the show. Erich is fully plotted up the US election and which way the wind is blowing over the pond. But before that we spoke about the weirdness of this year's Tory party conference and some of the more arresting statements by Kemi Badenoch and Jenrick Lamar.

100% had to do a Breaking News this week after Starmer's sausage accidentally slipped out. But it's not just the silly stuff, Labour have serious political issues unravelling and not a lot to say about it. We also look ahead to the Tory conference and the concept of 'having a quiet one'. Very quiet.  Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-explained/dp/1800961308/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week the very funny Ria Lina joins me to cast our eye over yet more embarrassment for the Labour Party. We also discuss the charges against P Diddy and consider whether celebrity men are just plain wronguns.

Podcast favourite Dom Frisby rejoins this week as we ponder Starmer selling out for far too little money.

Had to do another episode this week, following the US Presidential Debate and Donald Trump emerging as the guardian of canines and felines.

Marcus returns this week (and there's a bombshell reveal at the end as to his current position on Brexit). We talk about Labour's terrible handling of the Winter Fuel allowance changes and whether Ed Davey (Ed Samey anyone?) provides meaningful opposition.

Triggernometry's Francis Foster joins me this week as we bicker (flirt?) our way through a torrid week for Labour. We ask whether the public are buying all of Starmer's 'black holes'. We also discuss the Oasis ticket debacle and conclude that old people are tired and young people don't like music.

I'm up at the Edinburgh Fringe but felt like I had to respond to the glitzy luvvie fest that was the US Democratic Committee. Lots of rappers and jokes and about Donald Trump's penis, but did Kamala deliver the goods or just more stuff for people to meme in years to come? Also I tear into a hilariously woke announcement from the head of the Edinburgh Fringe.  Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-explained/dp/1800961308/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb BOOK Tickets for Edinburgh Fringe run:  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

Simon Evans re-joins this week on brilliant comic & analytical form. We discuss the worrying authoritarian tendencies being show by Labour (and whether you can impersonate Angela Rayner just by singing Oasis lyrics). We also consider the news that Gen Z are reverting back to old hobbies like weaving and knitting (maybe to save money?).

This week Ian Stone joins me from the Fringe. We talk about everything from the riots to the Tory leadership race (someone has to) and whether Trump's dentures will last the pace. There's also some men's mental health chat, where me and Stoney realise despite all our big talk we never 'check in' on eachother. In the Patreon only section we put our battlefield knowledge to the test and decide that Ukraine's incursion into Russia might be good or bad.  Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-explained/dp/1800961308/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb BOOK Tickets for Edinburgh Fringe run:  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

There's been a collective spaff of news since Tuesday so here I focus on Labour's first King's Speech and ask if all it will amount to is a few quid off your leccy.

Matt Forde returns this week and we clash in a reasonably good-natured manner about the incoming Labour govt. Will David Lammy go six months without a gaffe? Will Starmer ever sort his weird voice out? Does anyone care what the Tories have to say anymore.

So Keir Starmer is Prime Minister. A new yawn has broken, but there were so many sub-plots on a mad night. Tories down but not entirely out? Lib Dems needing a coach rather than people carrier for all their MPs. Reform beating expectations and the SNP doing a 'Scotland in the group stage'.

It's a bumper episode this week as Mark Steel joins me to chew over the lows and also the lows of this campaign.

Two big debates to respond to in the this episode. In the first caffeine Rishi had probably his best outing while slippery Starmer looked like he'd over-slept. In the US debate Joe Biden looked like he'd had a nap which started in the late Seventies.

Leo Kearse returns to WMPT in characteristically uncompromising form. We talk about Gamblegate dragging on and Starmer facing no tougher question than why he went to watch Taylor Swift. Meanwhile naughty Nigel Farage is on the back foot after being accused of apologism for Putin. I also somehow manage to tease out Leo's softer side when we talk about pregnancy from the male perspective.  Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-explained/dp/1800961308/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb BOOK Tickets for Edinburgh Fringe run:  https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793  Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week I had a chat with Scott Bennett who is funny and Northern. At the half-way mark in the election we reflected on the stand-out moments - from Rishi in the rain to the mystery of Keir's dad's profession. We also wonder again why journos can't deal with Farage.

I climb into slippery Starmer's cloak & dagger purge of the Left and end up defending Diane Abbott (??). I also question whether Ed Davey is looking at a career and theatre - and of course we had to break down the landmark ruling in the Trump case.

This episode I discuss the Tory's announcement on national service and wonder if they've gone full GILF. Then I analyse Starmer's interviews and why he acts like a wounded fawn whenever someone questions his principles. Plus - for balance - there's a quick mention of Ed Davey falling off a paddleboard.

This is the first of many Breaking News Election specials to come. I talk about why Rishi was man enough to announce it in the rain. Why Keir did it inside because he's old.

Had a very funny chat with my good friend Ian Stone. We discussed the strategic significance of Starmer's Salmon Tandoori. What kind of kid's book Liz Truss would write. Why topical comedy is harder now there are more lawyers.

I review Labour's launch of their 'first steps' strategy to win the next election. There's some praise for Keir seeming less like a mortgage salesman, but also questions remain over how bad he is at answering questions.

This week Simon Evans joins me to discuss whether Rishi's big speech was scaremongering or if it actually had some good points. I also go in pretty hard on human macademia nut Keir Starmer (there will be letters).

I discuss whether Andy Street was harshly dealt with and if the Greens expected their victorious candidate in Leeds to say 'Allahu Akbar'.
