I'm a tory boy you both make me laugh and you have a great business relationship keep doing good 👍🏼
The utter hypocrisy of this woman
Was so disappointed to hear Jacqui's lame and disingenuous excuses for the delay and obfuscation into the outcome of Diane Abbotts' 'investigation'.Grow some balls and tell it like it is otherwise Labour isn't bringing us change its bringing us same old same old. The public isn't interested in the internal squabbles of the Labour Party and mutual arse covering . It wants truth, honesty and integrity.
Ageee with Nick ,dreadful episode
switched off after 30 mins, this person speaks so condescendingly to Ian
Comedians liked question. Several named straight away and them oh 'some of the women'...Good to hear Rachel still needs her gender identified. Equality not quite here yet😄
you've been missed! as lovely as it's been to have new opinions...brilliant job...but I've missed Auntie Jacqui and Uncle Iain ..thanks for all you do...obviously x
please guys! I've been lucky enough To go away on holiday, what with being a lady of a certain age hadn't downloaded or listened to your recent podcasts! until I returned home!, saw your header and worried our Jacqui had finally had enough and done one literally! It was with huge relief that you are still with us! I give you the oblicatory "thanks for all that you do" look forward to more of your chit and chat, Dale your OK too, keep it up both of you!
Brilliant, you’re right, the idea of Rory Stewart talking about w*nking is not good! (Especially as he was at Eton)
Not always factually correct but worth a listen.
Anyone else bored with the ad for this podcast on James O'Brien's podcast? I'm talking about the ad about Angela Rayner? I see there are 300+ episodes but this specific excerpt about her is repeated to no end...makes me wonder if this podcast is really "For the Many" or more for the mythical 52%
is it just me or is Iain talking really really fast on this episode?!!!
could only listen to half the Pod, the chewing whilst talking and lip smacking was so off putting and annoying it actually made me angry. impossible to listen to theses days with thus going on. used to be better quality, am uninstalling from my subscriptions now. just no regard as to how they sound, terribly bad.
love you both! keep up the naughtiness..makes me smile, politics, current affairs, you've got it! thank you, I speak from my bed with a sleepy husband that's still to discover podcasts...said the wife that has to watch 24/7 news that drives me mad (because he loves it ) please carry on!
great show
excellent podcasts I look forward to hearing them every week.
my favourite political podcast, who'd have thought two people on the opposite side of the political spectrum could make a fun filled. occasionally smutty podcast
was quite upset listening to this. not only did it not pay respect or reference to the Police Officer that was shot but there was reference to Iain carrying live ammunition. I understand if the podcast was recorded in advance of Friday's terrible tragedy but think this should have been rectified before broadcast. Disappointing also usually enjoy the podcast
Is it just me or does Jacquie Smith sound like Muttley when she laughs, does that make Iain Dick Dastardly ?
Brilliant as usual 👏👏🤣
