A cheerless week for the pod as Aphra and Hannah discuss men behaving badly: Rishi Sunak continues his attack on the welfare state, Maggie T style, the government voted through an evil - and illegal - immigration plan and Tory MP Mark Menzies has allegedly…erm…faked a kidnapping? Oh yeah, and Harvey Weinstein’s rape conviction was overturned in New York, in a shock appeals court verdict. Digressions include boiled piss (again) and inconvenient grandfather clocks.
