Sunday School: A Kingmakerfield by-election
The next PM may be decided in a by-election near Wigan. That could be problematic for both the voters of Makerfield and the electorate at large. Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell look at what the Burnham drama could mean for Britain as a whole, as national and local politics collide in Labour's latest psychodrama. Talking of local politics, they also venture to Worcestershire, where a rainbow coalition has formed to sideline some (allegedly) useless Reform councillors ... much to the chagrin of Conservative Central Office. And, in an attempt to escape the 'localm' for a few minutes, they pick some holidays ... that they wouldn never go on. Very Quiet Riot, that one. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • That excellent Substack on Farage's millions by David Howarth https://drhow.substack.com/p/farages-5-million?triedRedirect=true • The elections report from Make Votes Matter • Alex's fabulous Podyssey series • Arthur Snell's Syrian deep-dive on Behind The Lines • Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com • Or visit our website www.quietriotpod.com Brought to you by Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell.

The Cling Speech
Political psychodrama heaped on top of political drama. Well, sort of. The psychodrama of the Labour leadership battle is real, whether we want another short-term PM or not. Naomi, Alex and Kenny pretend to hate the drama and then get sucked into the socialist-ish soap opera that's captivating Westminster. And then there's the King's Speech, which is legislatively significant but ... well, wouldn't it be more fun to find out what WE would do if we got the keys to No.10? Plus a properly uplifting Grin And Share It, some ranting about uncouth journalists and random sandwich news. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • Saving lives with rubble – this week's Grin And Share It • Alex's fabulous Podyssey series • Arthur Snell's Syrian deep-dive on Behind The Lines • Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com • Or visit our website www.quietriotpod.com Brought to you by Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell.

Sunday School: Worst Past The Post
***SIGN UP FOR OUR ASK-US-ANYTHING ELECTION SPECIAL LIVE ZOOM ON TUESDAY 12 MAY 2026, 1PM, AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou discuss the results of this week's round of elections and find that, underneath the single narrative of Nigel Farage's inevitability as Britain's next PM, which all media seems to have decided on, there is a lot which points the opposite way.

Midnight Mass: From Landslide to Mudslide
In the iconic words from A Streetcar Named Desire "we've had this date with each other from the beginning!" For nearly half of Labour’s 20 months in power, it has been said that this set of local elections would mark Starmer’s last throw of the dice. With results still coming in, it is difficult to analyse precise voter movements, but patterns are certainly beginning to emerge. To discuss the results so far, Alex Andreou has a midnight cuppa and a chat with Quiet Riot favourite and Guardian columnist Zoe Williams. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • You can listen to Alex's new Podyssey Storytime, on Arachne the Spider Woman, here. And don't miss his Bank Holiday Monday episode on Sisyphus. • Listen to Arthur Snell's latest Behind The Lines on Iran here. • We have put together a BLUESKY STARTER PACK, with all our regular contributors and many more interesting politicos besides • Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com • Or visit our website www.quietriotpod.com Brought to you by Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell.

Farage's millions: Nothin' to see here guv
Have £5million guv. It's a present, tax free, no strings attached. Yet again, questions arise over Farage's finances, this time after yet another huge wad makes its way from a crypto billionaire into Nigel's orbit – actually straight into his wallet, according to Farage himself. Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell ask wtf is going on with right wing political funding in particular, and the rules around political funding in general. Plus, they are joined by Substack supremo and QR fave Sam Freedman for a deep dive into the mysterious world of the 'median' voter. What do we actually know about the millions of voters in the political centre ground? Well, a bit more thanks to Sam's spade-work. All that plus woke pub etiquette and a must-visit restaurant... ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • Sam's Substack is consistently ace • Support Byline Times • 130 Primrose, the new restaurant with a caring twist • We have put together a BLUESKY STARTER PACK, with all our regular contributors and many more interesting politicos besides • Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com • Or visit our website www.quietriotpod.com Brought to you by Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell.

Sunday School: The heat is on
This week's Golders Green attack resurfaced some deeply disturbing prejudices and raised the political temperature too. Alex and Kenny look at the facts as they stand and analyse the political reaction to a tinderbox issue. And, with temperatures rising literally as well as metaphorically, they turn their attention to the looming El Niño impact, and ask if hotter summers make for violent protests. Plus Angela Rayner has a pint and gets hammered (by the press). Is it because she's (insert own theory here). nb answer is probably Yes. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol issues, Drinkaware can help • Climate clip from 'The Day The Earth Caught Fire' • You can listen to Alex's new Podyssey Storytime, on Arachne the Spider Woman, here.

Premature Elation; The US midterms are NOT a done deal
The stakes are too high to allow even a hint of complacency to creep into our thinking about the upcoming US 2026 midterm elections. This is one of the most powerful and malicious administrations in US history - the same lot who tried to overrun the Capitol in order to overturn the 2020 result. To treat them as an inert substance that will not fight tooth and claw is naive and dangerous. The chaos and confusion sown daily by Trump acts as a screen, behind which the wider project is eating away at any notion of free and fair elections.Alex Andreou invites data scientist Professor Christina Pagel to discuss all the ways in which the Trump administration is trying to rig that existential election - from blatant gerrymandering and voter suppression, to more subtle legal strategies, media and corporate control, and the erosion of democratic norms ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** • Find out more about the Trump Action Tracker. • Check out Christina's substack. • You can listen to Alex's new Podyssey Storytime, on Arachne the Spider Woman, here. • Listen to Arthur's latest Behind The Lines on Iran here. • We have put together a BLUESKY STARTER PACK, with all our regular contributors and many more interesting politicos besides • Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com • Or visit our website www.quietriotpod.com Brought to you by Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell.

The King and Ay, ay, ay... One (the royal One) flew over the cuckoo's nest ... Windsors and losers ... too many ways to describe what happened in Washington this week when genuine royalty met wannabe royalty. Join Naomi, Alex and Kenny for a diplomatic murder mystery carried out in the full glare of media lights to find out who got murdered and who... dunnit.
