Trump parade – The empire strikes out

Tanks for nothing… We look at the contrast between Trump’s pathetic North Korean-style self-celebration, the magnificent #NoKings protests, and the horror of the Minnesota assassinations. Plus, Starmer flips on a grooming gangs inquiry and the violence in Ballymena. And we grill special guest Chris Curtis MP on Labour’s housing plans and why Paul Weller was wrong about Milton Keynes.  ESCAPE ROUTES • Hannah recommends Pulp live and their new album More.  • Jonn recommends Our Friends In The North, no longer on iPlayer but on Apple TV+ instead. • Chris recommends baffling 2010s series Lost on Netflix. • Andrew recommends East German hit woman comedy-thriller Kleo also on Netflix.  • Back us on Patreon for ad-free listening, bonus materials and more.  Presented by Andrew Harrison with Jonn Elledge and Hannah Fearn.
