"Now take the money, and get off my property!" Coco, Nish & Anoosh reminisce about the iconic "you won, Jane" man from Come Dine with Me & Coco draws parallels with Steve Reed's spiky resignation letter. You won, Andy! Cabinet picks and Burnham's new pledges all discussed in this week's episode.

The countdown is on for the UK's next PM. With Starmer now officially out of the picture, Burnham's campaign shows no signs of stopping on its march to No. 10. But Nish is left wondering: how well do we REALLY know Burnham, and what does his policies actually stand for? New ep out now!

Following on from the Court of Appeal's ruling that has offically proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, the highly controversial ruling has left us questioning our freedom to protest. Coco, Nish & Akiko Hart discuss the ruling on this week's episode out now.

With a combined sentencing of 22, years the Filton 4 now stand as a stern reminder of the consequences of direct action; an example that many argue has silently been introduced into our legal systems, and which could continue to see a crackdown on protests. New Episode out now.

As one of the left's great political commentators, Hasan has had his fair share of debates. He explains the importance of not losing sight of his ultimate goal in the face of hostility. Coco & Nish discuss all with political commentator, Hasan Piker, in new episode out now!

When the new EHRC code of practice turns a conversation about women’s safety into gender policing, where does the line stop? Nish and Coco are joined by LGBTQ+ activist and Trans Pride Brighton co-founder Sabah Choudrey to discuss on new episode out now.

It’s local election results day! And Wales could be about to send a shockwave through British politics. Nish and Coco sit down with Welsh political expert Will Hayward to discuss why Reform and Plaid are set to do so well. Full episode out now

How far do the far right's global networks go? Coco and Pod Save America’s Tommy Vietor talk about the Good Law Project’s investigation into Reform UK's Matt Goodwin's mysterious salary. Full episode out now.

Trump received a McDonald’s delivery straight to the Oval Office on Monday. DoorDash issued a statement saying the delivery was to “commemorate the No Tax on Tips policy.” Nish and Coco were joined by Pod Save America's Tommy Vietor and reflected on yet another absurd Trump stunt. New PSUK out.

Hannah Spencer’s victory for the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election was a breath of fresh air, and gave us renewed hope for progressive politics in the UK. Watch the full interview with Hannah in our back catalogue. New PSUK drops next week.
