All Good Things...
Well that's all folks, its been a blast as cooler people than me might say. 300 episodes and ParPolBro is done so here is the usual gags on the return of Truss, the IMF warnings and Johnson's Nads, plus an official resignation speech, ParPolBro secrets and all the descriptions of Sunak, Starmer…
more -
Decisively Slow
Zahawi's gone so that only leaves Rishi Sunak having to make decisive decisions about well, pretty much the entire Conservative Party. Dominic Raab seems to have taken up bullying as a full time job, Jeremy Hunt keeps talking about E's which explains his beady little mad eyes and Boris Johnson...
-
Deliberately Careless
A guest-less pod due to well, carelessness which is the in-word this week. Nadhim Zahawi has been extremely careless with his hiring of accountants to advise he avoid tax on £27m of investments and even more careless hiring lawyers to sue anyone who said he did what he did. Still what more could...
-
Or Not Politics
The podcast returns to find that, well, nothing has really changed. The NHS is in serious trouble, public sector workers are still having to strike and cost of living is still silly. Luckily Rishi Sunak's government are doing a resounding nothing about it, and generally hoping it'll all be fixed…

Newstradamus 2023
The resident ParPolBro seer, sayer, sorter Newstradamus returns to give political predictions for the year ahead: 2023. Will they come true? Well, no, definitely not. Podcast will return properly on January 17th. Donate to the Patreon at www.patreon.com/parpolbro Buy me a coffee at...
-
Un-Useful Idiots
Do Tories do Christmas? Surely think Father Christmas gives toys out to far too many children and why did anyone let that refugee family stay in a stable when its heated on expenses and wasn't for them? A last brief ParPolBro podcast of 2022 on Rishi Sunak's ant-strike legislation, Hunt letting...
-
Eat Less To Stop Putin
Thank goodness we now know a way we can stop Putin's terrible oppression of Ukraine. That's right everyone, we just have to eschew working rights, and never earn enough for eating or heating again. That'll stop him! You take that Russia, we'll be getting hypothermia over here to totally show you...
-
Getting Rid Of Everyone
Net migration is at a record high, which is shocking as it means people still want to come to the UK even though you'd wait longer for an ambulance than to do interspace travel and colonise a planet we haven't ruined yet. Tories complaining about wind, Michelle Mone's pants PPE and the protests…
more -
Staring Into An Imaginary Black Hole
Keep the politics out of football they say, something that is easy to do when the World Cup is in a country where they'll execute you for protesting. Still nothing more British than doing nothing about it, which is also how the Autumn Statement is tackling the economic crisis. Rishi Sunak's...
-
Bullies For You
Is there anyone in the cabinet that isn't a bully? Has Rishi Sunak hired them as protection or did he have to take them on or they'd flush his head down the loo? Budgets to fill an imaginary black hole, a new deal with France that already hasn't worked for four years and a chat with Dr Vinicius…
more -
Taking It Back To The 2010s
Austerity, blaming asylum seekers for everything and Peter Kay doing a live tour again where he'll no doubt check if anyone remembers his last one. Its all back to the 2010s but with the sad problem that we've already been through them so this is now worse as a result. Bullying Gavin Williamson,...
-
No Grown Ups In Charge Here, Sorry
I suppose if we've always wanted the government to be more transparent, we can't be too upset that Suella Bravermen now wants to share her emails with everyone. It's impressive to get the sack from a job after 6 weeks, be back in it within 6 days and then be even worse at it, but our Home…
more -
Next Please
Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom are just like buses aren't they? You know you have one you don't want, wait 44 days and then there's another one you don't want. Er...yeah. Truss is out, Sunak is in. Different face, same terrifying consequences for the country, different weird monotone...
-
Who wants to be Chancellor today?
Will this podcast still be topical when it lands? Will it last past lunchtime? Jeremy Hunt is back and this time as Chancellor after the last one shorted his own career. All the PM's budget plans are scrapped and yet somehow she says she'll continued doing what she promised to even though none of...
-
We Are The Anti-Growth Coalition Society
Welcome to the Anti-Growth Coalition! Who else is in the club? Take a look around, its absolutely everyone except the Conservative Party, who weirdly aren't helping to grow anything so you think they'd want in, but they get very angry when we ask. Well some of them anyway. There are quite a few…
more -
Fool's Paradise
It's Conservative Conference time which means all the worst opinions in the planet are in one place. And its all happening just after Liz Truss's and Kwasi Kwarteng's worst first weeks have become worst second and third weeks too, ending with a u-turn on a 45p. All gags on that plus a chat with...
-
Trickling Over Everyone
When is a budget not a budget? When its a mini-budget and also a massive economy crashing trashfire of policy. Kwasi Kwarteng has decided the best way to make sure everyone survives a cost of living crisis is to give more money to bankers and no one else, and the pound has responded by throwing...
-
Breaking Queues
A brief episode of the podcast on account of their being only one news story for eight days now. A look at the Queen still being dead, the infinite queue and some morsels of other news that were smuggled through somehow. DONATE TO THE FUNDRAISER FOR CHRIS KABA'S FAMILY:...
-
Queens and Frackings
All change on perfectly normal island this week, with a new king and a new PM in just 48 hours. Obviously there is only one story and the entire world has stopped for 10 days including this podcast that contains zero comedy whatsoever out of respect, and therefore is exactly the same as all...
-
Broken Truss
We have a new PM and yet again its absolutely no one that anyone other than the 160,000 worst people in the country would want anywhere near power. Welcome to the stage Liz Truss. No it's over here. No that's the way out. Oh well. The podcast returns from its summer break in time to herald the…
more -
Race To The End
The only two contenders left in the Tory leadership race are so awful the best option for the country now is to sink and pretend we were never here. The last podcast before a short summer break on all the political horror shows from the last week and a chat with Phil Wrigglesworth (@philbywigs)…
more -
Heatdrowning not Heatwaving
It's all heating up. Not the Tory Leadership contest to see who the very worst person in the world is. No I meant the Earth. Its all on fire and in the UK we're all melting. Thank god the government have a net zero strategy that's just been deemed unlawful. The government not governing, the 4...
-
Thems The Brokens
Boris Johnson has resigned as Prime Minister. Sort of. I mean he's still there but you know he's also sort of gone. And now instead we will have to see which of 11 of the very worst people in the world will take over and possibly be even worser than the absolute worst that was Johnson. We live in...
-
Pestminster In Flagrante
Are the Conservatives failing to do anything they've promised because they're too busy being sex pests? It, once again, seems that way and while Chris is pinching investigations are being carried out into 40 imaginary hospitals, rivers full of poo and the police being the worst. Plus an interview...
-
Hot Union Member Summer
Its Hot Union Member Summer and everyone's on strike, but none of it is the government's responsibility because they know that increasing wages will just lead to inflation that's already happened while no one's had wage increases. Makes sense right? Meanwhile, in the US, the Supreme Court has...
-
No Big Deal Is Worse Than A Bad Deal
Has the government been given a dare to see just how many levels of law breaking they can do? Is ministerial code and British sovereign law not enough? Now we're on international laws and just where will it end? Space Law? The Law of Time? A gags only episode again on the awful Rwanda policy, the...
-
Free Boos
The Tories have voted that they have confidence in Johnson. Just not that much of it and chances are it's not long before the party or the public decide it'll be best to Operation Put Down Big Dog As He's Really Not Well And We Could Use The Money From The Rising Vet Costs To Have A Holiday. A…
more -
The Rise of Trashism
The Sue Gray Report is here, but sadly so is Boris Johnson still. What will it take for him to go? Maybe we need to follow in his Ministerial code changing footsteps and change the definition of Prime Minister so it means someone who gets in the sea. Gags on Partygate, the not Windfall Tax and a...
-
Talk About What You Know
Johnson tells his cabinet to focus on crime, crime, crime and fair play, they all do. A gags only week again on the very nearly here Sue Gray report, all the Conservative crime incidents and Andrea Leadsome doing arsonist threats. Donate to the Patreon at www.patreon.com/parpolbro Buy me a coffee...
-
Actual Nanny State
This podcast is made at home so you should all be grateful I actually manage to get it done inbetween making coffee and going to the fridge for cheese. The Prime Minister certainly wouldn't manage it. A guest free episode on the NI protocol silliness, Lee Anderson's 30p meals and all 38 Bills in...
-
Chapati Gate
Britain is now such a place where a boring man having a curry is somehow the equivalent to corruption, law breaking and doing an interview in a suit you just done a sick on. No the Labour leader isn't very interesting, or good, but our Prime Minister doesn't know who Lorraine Kelly is and you…
more -
XXX-Tractor Fans
If only the government didn't demand everyone return to work then they wouldn't notice all their colleagues watching porn. Yes, another normal week in the constantly declining standards of British politics involving bills that are basically hate crimes, unlawful policies and tractor porn. Gags…
more -
Blue Crime Stories
The podcast returns after two weeks to find that, well, sadly, the Crime Minister is still in post. He can't go because apparently that'd cause instability for the country and we can't have that at these, er, historically stable times. Johnson's law breaking, Indian free trade deals, the French...
-
Fine-ish
It's hard to know when you've broken the law isn't it? I mean even if the police send you a fine for breaking the law, how do you know you've actually broken the law if you don't understand what the law is and you're an idiot? An idiot who leads a cabinet of people who make laws. Fines…
more -
The Sunak's Family's Excessive Dough
The Chancellor Rishi Sunak says wants to help people so has announced a whole raft of measures that won't really help anyone. Although, maybe, in a way, isn't that helping us all to band together in the understanding that he's massively rubbish? With any luck Michael Gove will accidentally put…
more -
Freedom Hedges
Another week where somehow I've had to find new ways of saying the government is lying about loads of things and making life worse for everyone. This week its about terrible comparisons, the Spring statement and Oliver Dowden banging on about hedges. A 'fun sized' mini episode again while I…
more -
Get Here If You Can
The British government are continuing to do all they can to help with the situation in Ukraine, which this week involves saying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy can get a 'sir' in front of his name if he likes and someone has to live with Michael Gove. Not sure if those are the most…
more -
Lack of Humanity
It is lucky that even when something so bad as the invasion of Ukraine happens, we have leaders like Boris Johnson who are doing everything they can and being as generous as possible. So that means he's told other countries to do stuff and we've taken in just 50 Ukrainian refugees. The backseat...
-
Paddington & The Bear
As you all know war and the threat of nuclear destruction is basically the ideal recipe for comedy. This week's podcast navigates the absolute horrors of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and has a chat with journalist and writer Anna Reid about the history of this crisis. LINKS: - 'Come Back…
more -
Throwing Caution Into 70mph Winds
It's a week of crap parenting as the Queen bails out her big nonce son, Putin wants custody back of Ukraine and Boris Johnson is keen to turn a blind eye to Covid breeding wherever it can. Meanwhile, big bloody storms. A short interview free episode of gags on the political mayhem of last week....
-
Me-kraine
The best offence is a good defence, or just sending Liz Truss to make everyone so frustrated they give up trying. Ukraine, Cressida Dick finally sodding off and a chat with James Plunkett (@Jamestplunkett) about his book End State: 9 Ways Society Is Broken and How To Fix It BY JAMES'S BOOK HERE:...
-
Wasting All Our Energy
Last one in No.10 turn off the lights. Or in fact, just do that now or the cost will be astronomical and Rishi Sunak won't help with the bill. An interview free podcast this week on all change at Downing Street, the rising energy costs and Boris Johnson losing his brand to comedians and…
more -
Ambushed By Snakes
The Gray Report is here. Sort of. A bit of it. The tiny few pages the police would allow. And it's just enough for everyone except the Prime Minister to say its damning but for Johnson to assume he's safe enough to spend the rest of his days ambushed by cakes. Another week of exactly the sort of...
-
Rules Are For Youls
It seems absolutely no one in the Conservative Party has any clue what party they're in, whether that's political or birthday. Another week of stories about the state of disarray at No.10 Downing Street, and Rishi Sunak's charitable fraud fund. Plus a chat with Rose Whiffen (@rose_whiffen) at...
-
Operation Shave Pig Dog
Remember 2020 & 2021? Not if you're in the cabinet as it's likely you were wasted the entire time, partying hard night and day while the rest of the country completed Netflix and tried to work out how to mute farts on Zoom. There's now evidence of so many rule breaking parties at No.10 it'd be...
-
Newstradamus 2022!
The resident ParPolBro chairvoyant, the mighty Newstradamus returns for this slightly later than usual annual predictions of what lies ahead in 2022, or at least who will continue to lie. Normal podcast service will return on January 18th. Excellent free mystical music from:...
-
Rising Party Numbers
There has been frightening rise in cases of Conservative Christmas parties, with the numbers doubling within a week. Luckily Boris Johnson is the man to get someone to investigate in order to make sure they find nothing. Is his time at No.10 over? Only if its because he needs somewhere with more...
-
Quantum Politics
With their ability to have parties at Downing Street that didn't and did happen, the government appear to be meddling with quantum politics. Is this why they both appear to be doing something but also nothing of substance at all times too? An interviewee free, gag only podcast this week on the...
-
Not Including Hospitality
What links new Covid restrictions with the Home Office's callous lack of humanity? That's right, none of it includes hospitality. Will Omicron be all powerful like its name seems to suggest if you shout it as though it's the alien overlord in a film? Will Labour's reshuffle ever end? A look at…
more -
Delivery Man
Boris Johnson is the delivery man apparently. But aside from bad news and weird speeches about Peppa Pig, what does he actually deliver to anyone? Covid? His DNA. Gags on the worrying Health and Care Bill, the terrifying Home Office everything and HS2 not going anywhere. Plus a chat with Carolyne...
