As the real world is sweating over unemployment figures, especially among younger people, Farage unveils a 'shadow cabinet' that is nothing of the sort, and appears to have no solutions.
Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell dive into the figures, and look at the broader economic outlook too – will lower inflation come to the rescue?
ALSO, looking at the government's High Court defeat in the Palestine Action Group case, is it ime to reevaluate the balance between free speech and terrorist legislation?
All that plus some Wokey Dokey action and a bleeding good Grin And Share It. You're welcome.

Britain is making its strongest pivot yet towards Europe, with a suggested Defence Union that seems to go well beyond defence.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe soils himself in public and only sort of apologises to anyone whose nose is "too sensitive".
And Nigel Farage, the most flexible worker of all, has a hissy fit about flexible working.
Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith discuss what needs discussing and ridicule what needs ridiculing.

What was it really like in THAT meeting between Starmer and his MPs? And what next for the embattled PM?
Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell are joined by Loughborough MP Jeevun Sandher to get an insider's view of a remarkable few days of politicking.
Plus, what makes us British? Pubs? Shared wartime sacrifice? And what if you're a Celt?
And there are llamas. Yes, you read that right.

Roll up, roll up for MAGA money ... if you're a bit far right and based in Europe, at least.
The US State Dept is planning to fund MAGA-aligned organisations throughout Europe in a ramping up of the culture wars, if new reports are accurate.
Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell consider what on earth could go wrong with Uncle Sam's deep pockets being emptied into the coffers of far righters in the EU and UK.
And they ask what the Epstein scandal looks like from the victims' viewpoints, as Gordon Brown weighs in with calls for big changes to address some of the issues Epstein has surfaced.
Plus, penis-based lols from the Olympics. Yeah, NOW you're interested.

Mandelson has provided a political scandal for the ages but, amid the salacious detail and schadenfreude, what are the implications for Starmer, Labour and Westminster?
Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell race to keep up with all the developments and also zoom out to look at the other power networks with tentacles spread throughout our political landscape.
And they are joined by planet-brained author, Britain’s most popular Substacker and senior fellow at the Institute for Government, Sam Freedman, to look at the gathering storm around Government plans for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities policy.
All that plus your regular Wokeydokey and a historical Grin And Share It!

“I look at all the performative hand-wringing from all quarters and I think I’m in a parallel universe. Everyone saying ‘OMG, can’t believe Starmer appointed him despite all this!’ Starmer appointed because of all this - not despite it - to be our interface with a corrupt White House that operates in precisely the same way.”
“It feels like this has sped up something that was happening anyway. The question is, does it happen very fast, are we talking about a delegation going to Starmer in the next week to say ‘time is up’, or does it drag on for a few more moths?”
“There’s a large amount of trust that the govt’s reforms to the provision of support for children with special educational needs require of parents - and that just isn’t there at the moment, because they’ve had so many difficulties with the current system.”
"You don't want to be trying to do this kind of deep, long term education reform, sitting on 16% popularity in the polls, and with a Prime Minister who might be about to resign. That is not ideal."

Kemi Badenoch has frozen out Conservatives to both her political right and left. Which doesn't leave her much to work with when it comes to building support.
So, is she stuck in the middle or stuck in a muddle having mocked Tory hot-heads of the right and wise heads of the (relative) left?
Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell ask whether the Tory former big guns of Prosper UK are on to something with their grown-up centre-right schtick, and whether they are too dull to get populist cut-through in the age of Farage and memes.
Talking of meme-based populist cut-through, they also look to France, where the Foreign Ministry's @FrenchResponse social media team have been weaponising memes against MAGA, amongst others. French diplomatic hero/villain Talleyrand would have been impressed.
And there's time for a fantasy King's Speech preview – not just what's coming up in a few weeks, but what Naomi and Kenny would really LOVE to come up. Brace yourselves.

It's chaos out there, chaos!! Labour lick their Burnham wounds, Braverman defects from the Tories to the 'other' Tories, and a new centre-right movement packed with old-school Conservatives makes its debut.
Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell try to make sense of it all while staying chipper... no small feat.
And they're joined by Arthur Snell – QR favourite and host of our sister podcast, Behind the Lines – to look at the latest global chaos. With Starmer in China, Iran in a spot of bother and America in a dystopian nightmare, there is a LOT to discuss on the global stage.

Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou look at the rumours swirling around Andy Burnham putting himself forward to contest a parliamentary seat, after eight years as Manchester mayor, and game the various outcomes.
And they discuss the latest Trump insult to Europe, the new defence strategy - and the first USA/Ukraine/Russia trilateral negotiations that just concluded in Abu Dhabi.
PLUS are the Beckhams the modern version of the Borgias? Or just a perfectly ordinary family, who occasionally fall out?

He came, he saw, he conked out. Trump blew chaotically into Davos, demanded Greenland then carried out a spectacular U-turn. Well, for now at least.
Whatever the outcome of this latest round of Trumpian Wheel of Fortune, one thing was very clear: Trump is a man struggling to make sense, even when he's been prepped for the biggest of stages.
Alex Andreou, Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell talk Trump, Carney, Macron and Newsom.
And there's even time to talk Starmer, Badenoch and the Chagos fallout too, because domestic politics doesn't stop for Trump, even if it does get blown off course by him rather a lot.

The Robert Jenrick fiasco capped what was a mad week in the crazy world of Westminster.
Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell dive in to the cartoonish series of events that culminated in yet another Tory lashing their political career to the Farage mast.
And, in a not-entirely-unrelated segment, they also ask whether politics is in fact run on the same principles as cartoon favourite Road Runner. Meep-meep!

Nadhim Zahawi?? Is this the moment Reform jumped the shark?
Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell ask whether Farage's little project has, in fact, been hopping over Jaws for a while now.
And they are joined by Times columnist and former host of the influential Chinese Whispers podcast Cindy Yu to discuss all things Chinese, from trade figures and Taiwan to Trump and that little planning difficulty around a London embassy...
Plus a surprise engagement and some James Herriot-esque ducks. What a show.

The journey from policy geek to politician is one that a higher-than-usual number of the new intake of Labour MPs have made. Throw in a Punjabi Sikh heritage, growing up in Luton, a doctorate in economics, and a spell in Somaliland, and the result is a picture of a particular kind of "Britishness" that is the kryptonite of right wing parties.

To her friends and colleagues, she was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, prize-winning poet and guitarist. To the Trump administration, she was a 'domestic terrorist'.
Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou look at the aftermath of the killing and ask what we are to make of the age of ICE. There is a lot to digest.
And they discuss the latest X outrage, with Grok creating abusive images of women and children and Musk reacting by making the feature a premium service. What will it take for gov't to get off the platform?

NOW what's he done, and why? Trump, the self-appointed King of Chaos, is ramping up that chaos, kidnapping foreign leaders, hijacking oil tankers, reiterating his threats to move in on Greenland and more besides.
Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou are joined by the redoubtable Arthur Snell – Quiet Riot regular, former diplomat, author and, of course, host of the excellent Behind The Lines podcast – to try to make some sense of what is unfolding on the world stage.
You'll not be surprised to learn they have a LOT to discuss.
Away from the Madness of King Donald, they also look at Keir Starmer's latest moves to bring the UK a tad closer to our European cousins. Should there be grounds for optimism? Listen in to find out.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! And we kick off 2026 with an uplifting 40minutes that is short on politics and big ... very big ... on Wokey Dokey and Grin And Share It.
These are the most popular features on Quiet Riot so we thought we'd pull together a bumper episode featuring only Wokeys and GASIs.
Marvel at the very Welsh response to last year's flag-flying epidemic; cheer for the beavers that couldn't be released because they kept escaping; and cower in the corner as we regale you with some of the most unbelievable things to have been labelled WOKE!!! in the year just past.
And, of course, however and wherever you spent Hogmanay, we wish you a happy, successful (and suitably woke) 2026.

I read that as Wokey Dokey and GIN.....🤣
Amazing episode - slightly terrified at what the future holds but rely on Quiet Riot to keep me informed - thanks Alex And Arthur
Great show. Helps keep me sane
Hi Alex - I take all your points here, but as a long-term US election nerd I feel obliged to point out that 538 is well aware of the political bias of partisan pollsters like Rasmussen, attempts to game poll averages by releasing lots at once etc. And why even partisan & low quality polls can still provide useful data on trends. I usually recommend your podcast, let me recommend this 538 episode on the above to you: https://castbox.fm/vb/740248383
probabl5, you at!(6,0*😀 no inthe0 and ill 8Eae by 00990
Thanks Alex. Great that you did this one instead of Naomi who would be the more obvious if you two. You asked good questions - I learned a lot. I'm from a cross-community family in Liverpool. Good to see the guys whose businesses which were burned down last weekend can rebuild thanks to crowdfunding. My conclusion is that those who have profifted the most politically & financially from tribal politics, stirring up racial hatred within the working class & chaos need to held to account for this.
my go to for rational , thoughtful commentary on political news
The perfect cherry on a cake-filled weekend. Thank you!
