Worse Than Thick
by Jamie Strudwick
Worse Than Thick is a podcast that asks: How did we get here? and How much worse can it get? Each week, I break down the latest political nonsense - whether it's government U-turns or MPs embarrassing themselves on live TV.

Ep. 6 - Tragedy Is Weaponised
CONTENT WARNING: This episode talks about child sexual exploitation, political misuse of survivor trauma, and references to grooming gangs. Listener discretion is advised.When tragedy strikes, the Conservatives don't offer care - they reach for a culture war. In this episode, I break down how Kemi Badenoch is twisting a vote on child safeguarding into a weaponised lie about grooming gangs. This is about more than one amendment - it's about how grief gets politicised, truth gets lost, and survivors get used as props.Written, created and produced by Jamie Strudwick.
