I like to believe in redemption, but his soul’s pretty dead already.

Did I hear you actually suggest putting money on the National Lottery? 😆

(I know, it was in the case of people who like the ‘thrill of winning’)

It seems pleased with itself

Claude completely shits on the person

As soon as I got near £50k I decided I never wanted to be in the higher bracket and could afford to live comfortably at £50k, so any extra I went on to earn got churned into pension contributions and gift aid (currently on £70k). Now my Vanguard SIPP is looking very healthy

Great episode, as always. Sorry to nitpick though, but did Andrew suggest that the founding fathers invented habeas corpus? I thought it had been a thing since 1215?

Haha now you had me looking for the 250th episode! 😆

Love the Lib Dems 😊

I want that TV in my house

Brilliant episode again, thanks! It sounds like Napoleon really rode his luck in this campaign. I guess the quality of his troops and officers (although diminished compared to 1805) still outshone everyone on the battlefield, in a mirror image of the Royal Navy on sea

@mikeduncan.bsky.social you’ve covered some very gnarly emperors. Who in your view is Trump closest to?

Why is ‘need’ in inverted commas on the NHS website?
