Really lovely chat with @mrnishkumar.bsky.social and @cocobyname.bsky.social today recording @podsavetheuk.crooked.com After the chaos of the vote, I worry I do very much sound like a woman who was still drunk from last night’s bender. But for the record: I was just high on codeine. Out tomorrow!

David Lammy accuses Labour MP Zarah Sultana of "click baiting" after she quizzed him on continued arms exports to Israel.
Is it click bait to hold the government to account or is it just doing your job as an elected representative?

From ‘cleanfluencers’ to home gurus, the ideal of a spotless home has never been so aspirational. But why are women still being told that inner peace is only a bottle of disinfectant away? @cocobyname.bsky.social discusses with @emmahcasey.bsky.social ➡️ linktr.ee/bunker_pod
Labour are wanting to get down with the public by upping their social media game. @mrnishkumar.bsky.social & @cocobyname.bsky.social just wonder whether they'll be able to land the tone.

Fascinating chat re our alarmingly fragile food supply. Maybe it’s the feature writer in me but I love subjects like these - it’s the ‘where the rubber hits the road’ stuff of politics, it’s abt people’s daily lives. Check it out on today’s episode 🎙️ and pick up some extra tins later!🥫
