Two episodes of @noholdspod.bsky.social out for this week.
@badassmutha.bsky.social and I did a full Farage Lie Count™ yesterday while he was on Times Radio talking about PMQs.
And today's episode is a fairly harrowing tale of the State of America. The title says it all.

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social has been warning us all of the dangers of linking up with Palantir and Peter Thiel, a man who wants to destroy the NHS. Here @donmcgowan.bsky.social gives us more detail. Our PM should be ashamed of getting in bed with Palantir.

So, as a countermeasure, we'll be live-streaming our very own watch along and try to fact-check him as he speaks!
