REMEMBER TO SIGN UP ON KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD TO SUPPORT US IN TIME FOR THE 13 SEPTEMBER LIVE EDITORIAL ONLINE EVENT*** What do the Dover and Portsmouth riots tell us about how the far right is morphing in Britain?

Sunday School: Das Schadenfreudefest
***OUR 100th EPISODE THIS YEAR! REMEMBER TO SIGN UP ON KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD TO SUPPORT US IN TIME FOR THE 13 SEPTEMBER LIVE EDITORIAL ONLINE EVENT*** Nigel Farage has become that politician who can't see a hole without jumping into it. Especially if he's helped dig it himself. Alex and Kenny beg your forgiveness for looking at the two big Farage stories this week, but are confident you will join them in a festival of schadenfreude... Gasp as Reform UK sees a big fire marked 'Farage gifts scandal' and sprays it with a large hose of petrol from a can marked 'Reform funding scandal'. Cheer as Nigel's political circus comes to the NEC Birmingham, and then decides it's going to perform a comedy of errors. Slap your forehead as the Reform UK clown car gets dragged out of a ditch only to drive straight into a smelly canal. May contain giggles as well as searing political insight. You know the routine. You can watch the full Channel 4 News exposé here. • We're now on Instagram! • We have put together a BLUESKY STARTER PACK with all our regular contributors and some quality sources - join us there! • Email us at quietriotpod@gmail.com • Or visit our website www.quietriotpod.com • Cover image based on a photo by R.

But both - along with the rest of the world - look at the US midterm elections with hope. But hope for what? Would a "blue wave" clip Trump's wings, or make him even more dangerous? Alex and Naomi are joined by QR fave and Substack god Sam Freedman to skip lightly (hah!) through just some of the huge upheavals going on around our pale blue planet. Plus a Grin And Share It that ties Scotland and India together via a Canadian in a kilt. • Jings!
