Incompetent business
A long awaited return, as the Labour leadership have now finally said something we can talk about. Although they're very keen we don't talk about that. We do talk about us not being able to talk, and also: Whether Sir Keith's response to the Tory handling of Covid is the right way. Why Jon shouldn't leave the party Becoming a branch delegate as a tiny way to influence things.

Stay alert, Constructive opposition, Save Lives
We rock down to forensic PMQs, where Keir Starmer got a letter from the government the other day, opened it and read it… is he a sucker? Adam thinks Sir Haircut’s playing a long game, can Jon agree constructively where he’s right and challenge where there are gaps. Is the NHS the wedge issue for Labour that we always seem to think it is. Is it too big to be conceived to be in danger? As we pass the date of the 2020 election that should have been - will Johnson or Starmer make it to 2024? And some navel gazing: a month since the Labour report - have we any confidence that the truth will be allowed out?

Re-Arranging the Shadow Furniture
Recorded as part of a mega-session a few days ago, while the Prime Minister's health was still deterioating rather than merely his personality and competence (so we couldn't be as rude about him as he likely deserves), we instead kept on topic (Labour) and tackled the meaning of the new Shadow Cabinet. Interestingly, after "Who are the members of the Shadow Cabinent," Google's next assumed question is "What is the point of the shadow cabinet?" Well, for us (and especially Jon) it gives us a chance to determine the future policy direction of the Labour Party. The choices made by Kier (were they his choices?) are revealing (or are they?). Listen and you will know. From that, in just a few minutes of chat, we determine when, exactly, the planet will end. Give or take. And, of course, whether there is train-travelling future for Dianne Abbot or Richard Burgon. Links The Shadow Cabinet: See their faces on the Labour site See why Adam took so long to edit this: @Covid Street Photography Project Since we recorded... It seems Ed Miliband is still podcasting, for now (discussed in the episode). The part-time prime minister has been in ICU and is now out using convalescense as an excuse. No one has explained his lack of attention to detail before that date. An RAF plane going to Turkey (or not) has taken up a lot of media coverage.
