Injustice League: Trump and Badenoch recruit their minions
Get your tickets to our 10th December live show at the Comedy Store here!
Trump has started to appoint his evil minions to his cabinet – and we take a breath to look at Badenoch’s new gang back home too. Andy Kroll, investigative reporter for ProPublica and author of A Death on W Street: The Murder of Seth Rich and the Age of Conspiracy, joins the panel to talk through the US side of things, and Dorian, Jonn and Zoe get into the UK news. And, in the Extra Bit for Subscribers, how do you deal with the emotional impact of losing an election? (PS. We recorded this on Wednesday afternoon at 4.30pm, so we were just before the Matt Gaetz news...)

How to live in Trump’s world
• Get your tickets for our Christmas Live Show on Tue 10 Dec at the Comedy Store London.
The Trump aftermath rumbles on. Farage, Tommy Robinson and the populist right think the GOP’s triumph is theirs too. Are they right? Will an isolationist America really want to export populism around the world? And will Keir Starmer have to choose between the EU and the USA? Plus, as the Democrats tear at one another, what should progressives really confront in the years to come? Could they at least start by agreeing why they lost?

Oh God, Not Again – The revolting return of Donald Trump
• Get your tickets to our 10th December live show at the Comedy Store London here!
It’s happened, Trump has retaken the White House. How did the orange felon who’s also racist win the election and what might he do now? Andrew Rudalevige is a professor of government at Bowdoin College and joins the panel to confront it all. Plus, in the run-up to Remembrance Day, we dig up the strange evolution of poppy mania. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, the panel ventures out of their comfort zones to get stuck into a bit of culture that they otherwise wouldn’t touch with a barge pole.

Emergency ToryCast – If it’s Badenoch for you, it’s bad enough for me
• Get your tickets to Oh God, What Now? live at the Comedy Store on Tue 10 Dec – now with special guest John Crace of The Guardian.
Kemi “start a fight in an empty room” Badenoch wins the Tory leadership, beating Robert Jenrick in a surprisingly low turnout. Will an electorate that’s just turfed out the Conservative Party be in the mood for more of the same only more combative and obnoxious? Will Badenoch’s promise to “tell the truth” just mean more woke-bashing? And would Labour HQ be wise to keep the champagne on ice? The New Statesman’s Rachel Cunliffe and Andrew Harrison interrupt their Saturdays for some Torygazing.
