In an overwhelmingly Lefty comedic landscape, right-leaning stand-up Geoff Norcott is a rare beast. In WMPT he gets to the heart of what ordinary people think about social and political issues. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt, but without being a dick. Mostly. Guests come from across the social and political divide, including Romesh Ranganathan, Jonathan Pie, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more. Geoff has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Backstage with Katherine Ryan, Would I lie to You? Have I Got News For You? The Last Leg, Mash Report, Question Time, Mock the Week and pops up frequently on UK political debate programmes. Geoff's book 'Where Did I Go Right?' came out in 2021 and topped the political comedy best-seller list on multiple occasions. Geoff also won an operational medal for his five tours performing to British troops in Afghanistan. "One of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe." - Sunday Times "A Right laugh." - The Guardian

After a brief interlude of non govt news, Starmer is back in the doo-doo as his defence secretary's shock resignation. I also wonder where the hell Rachel Reeves gets her confidence and why no-one's that interested in that fact we might effectively have a new PM next week. Elsewhere I thank Ben Stokes for generating interest in cricket and there's some gold old fashioned woke nonsense from Threads. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

I'm back from Ibiza and Stevenage's own Jacob Hawley joins me to look at Starmer's new policy on social media (and whether clinging on to power is the first impressive thing he's done). We then talk about the increasingly ridiculous Lewis Hamilton claiming that being a billionaire is wrong but being a half-billionaire is ok. In the Patron only section we list all the reasons the World Cup is going to be rubbish. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

I don't often record another episode so shortly after the main show, but like many of you I'd imagine I was so moved by Henry Nowak's dad and his response to the sentencing of his son's murderer, plus all the ways Henry was let down by the police. There was also the further release of more Mandelson files, but these were more about internal Labour Party squabbles, though some which were pretty salacious...

Jon Kogan makes a welcome debut to WMPT this week. Jon works with a lot of guys on the 'dark side' of comedy and is also a lovely bloke. We got into the whiff about Nicola 'I'm not a victim' Sturgeon's tale of victimhood. We also briefly consider whether anyone will let Starmer speak in public again. Then it's onto discussing falling birth-rates, which ends up in a jaw-dropping revelation about Japanese game shows. In the Patron only section, we discuss exactly what Kemi Badenoch's 'Five C's' might be... CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Seann Walsh returns for this episode and had a right laugh discussing what the equivalent of Starmer's defenstration would be in comedy. We also chat about toxic/irritating fandoms and whether it's ever ok for football fans to do the 'electric slide'. In the Patron only Seann delivers an EPIC 'Death story' for the ages.

This week was an interesting one for Keir Starmer as he had to get used to his place on the political cuck-chair, whilst also fielding good news on inflation at the same time as dodgy news around Russian oil. Wes Streeting is campaigning hard and seems to be one of those rejoiners who thinks the EU still has that magic wand. There's also discussion of Rachel Reeve's run-in with a white van man and Robert Jenrick getting a drive-by off a Lib Dem. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Our man in France Ian Moore makes a welcome return to get me out of my echo-chamber. We discuss whether Starmer was betrayed by his colleagues or just a bit crap. We also chat about Andy Burnham's belief that poverty only exists in the North of England. We then ask if high speed 4G heralded a decline in birth-rates. In the Patron only section we discuss the Nineties and whether nostalgia for that era is out of hand. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

I dunno about you, but I'm struggling to keep up with all the melodrama in the Labour Party. In this episode I recap everything that's happened in the last few days, from the weird coffee with Starmer & Wes, to Kemi flaming the Labour front-bench, Rayner getting cleared and Andy Burnham finally finding a seat on the train of democracy!
