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

One of the stranger titles for an episode but it's an honest reflection of the content. I discuss rising anxieties about govt lending and whether Labour have the stomach to do anything to avoid the seemingly inevitable interest rate rise.Elsewhere I take on the furore over Sydney Sweeney's advert: is she an enemy to female athletes or doing exactly what woke feminists said women should do?

Ian Stone returns for this week's episode and we get straight into the big story surrounding Reform becoming crypto trust-fund babies. Is it morally wrong or are Labour just jealous? We then get into the complex issues surrounding Lyndsey Clancy's trial, where a juror who held a different view has become a public enemy among some progressives. In the Patron only Ian Stone describes a DEATH STORY so awkward even I got the flop sweats.

Milo Edwards returns to discuss Andy Burnham making his first major false move at PMQs and why the Tories were bouncing around like they had ADHD. We also disagree strongly about millionaires leaving the UK (I think it's bad btw). Then we have the quarterly chat about whether AI will end everything, before talking about crazy Donald's five grand giveaway in the Patron only section.

After John Healey decided to introduce himself to the British public I get my head around the style and substance of what he had to say. Spoiler alert: there's not much of either. I also look back on a turbulent few days for Reform, the Channel 4 sting might not matter to the base but what will 'most people' think. And what is the true definition of 'loose pub talk'?

Politics is back with a bang and I review Andy Burnham's first couple of days at big school. The style was good but was there any substance? Also how did his pledge to avoid petty point scoring go? Elsewhere the Tories had a reshuffle and I ask what would it take to make a Tory famous? CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Mark Steel makes a welcome return to preview Andy Burnham's first proper week in office: will his 'work in progress tour' still be effective in the big rooms? We make some very specific predictions. I also ask is really ok for men to cry, after Djokovic had a little blub on court after his first round exit in the US Open. In the Patron only we talk about how we've become less liberal on crime and why all Prime Ministers fear being photo-shopped with a spliff.

As I get to the end of my Edinburgh Fringe run I discuss how this festival is destroying itself with left-wing economic thinking. Outside of that I ask why Andy Burnham is paying a grand for a pretend door. Friend of the show Reform's Robert Jenrick has been firing off yet more policy initiatives. Then I look at the landmark settlement in the State where Meta have tacitly acknowledged 1000 hours a day on their sites might not be that healthy.

The always funny Scott Bennett returns to discuss fellow northerner Andy Burnham turning up in Kyiv looking like he'd just got back from a stag-do. Was that the big issue, or the fact we're now in a proxy war with Russia. We also respond to the arse falling out of the graduate jobs market and ask if families will soon weep because their kid wants to be a lawyer.
