What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

A lot to talk about this week, not least the frankly dystopian advice the Home Office put out reminding asylum seekers not to attack women. Economically, the govt borrowing was higher when it was supposed to be lower so I'm sure that's a really great sign. I also respond the Channel 4 documentary about ADHD which has some on left accusing them of far right lies.

In this week's episode Andrew Doyle returns to discuss Reform trying to seize the initiative on welfare and get Nigel sounding less like a beleaguered football manager. Elsewhere we react to Andy Burnham's 'send to all' moment, informing a boiling population that it was a bit hot. In the Patron only section we respond to the temerity of a professor who dares to suggest that boy and girls might be different.

So Nigel Farage prevailed in his bin related soap opera, but has he come out of it stronger? Sticking with Reform, is punchy little Zia Yusuf spending too much time drinking Relentless and going online? Elsewhere there was 0.4% growth which Rachel Reeves somehow thinks is to do with her being a brilliant chancellor. Finally, I look at the case of a mum who killed her own kids and found friends in the Femosphere.

Back from Butlins and climbing into Andy 'Martin Lewis' Burnham's assault on low-level costs. Should he have had a holiday? Will he turn out like one of those avuncular South American dictators? We also discuss why Brits have got so fat. Is it education or those massive coffees from Starbucks. In the Patreon only Francis educates me about educator extraordinaire Jason Arday.

With the Edinburgh Fringe starting and Live at the Apollo being cancelled I though it was a good time to get Carey on to chat all things comedy. Carey was doing dark comedy before it even had a name, and has plenty of strong takes on identity, being a Jew in comedy and how you can get away with anything if you have a cute teddy.
