Description

Why do the right-wing intelligentsia keep talking Britain down? Didn’t they get all they ever wanted when we left the EU? And who are the worst culprits? Plus: Remember when Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister and promised to fix the economy? Yes, well last week it emerged that Britain had entered a recession – nailed it. Has he completely failed on all his other goals too? That’s Oh God, What Now? with our special guest, political comedian Alistair Barrie.

“The blame game is the only game in town as far as Sunak’s concerned.” – Alistair Barrie.


“Reform has done nothing but set about alienating black, ethnic minority voters.” – Zoe Grunewald.


“Down with the NIMBYS!” – Rachel Cunliffe.


“Oh that woke blob with their tofu!” – Alistair Barrie.


“Most of us don't give a fuck about tax cuts, most of us care about things actually working.” – Alistair Barrie.
