Also, a very funny and surprisingly angry Wokey Dokey.

And that rare thing: A CORRECTION!

I very much look forward to your feedback on this.

I am genuinely grateful for such an open and honest discussion on antisemitism with @samfr.bsky.social in the second half of - without once being made to feel as if my motives were being questioned or my credentials were somehow being assessed. Just intellectual curiosity, front and centre.

“It’s far too soon to predict how the next election will shape up. We are roughly the same distance from Labour having to call a General Election, as we are from the last pandemic lockdown. Try to conceive of that amount of stuff still to happen.”

At moments like this I picture someone at @quietriotpod.bsky.social towers picking up a red Batphone to summon help and somewhere, in an elegant room, Olivier Morel's phone rings.

It's not up to us, sadly... But it is entirely possible that the situation has changed in the last year, so I will check and prod again! A x

SitRep 😱😱😱😱😱. From waiting weeks to exchange to moving in 10 days. OF COURSE the universe dictated this should coincide with the album launch. But I have @quietriotpod.bsky.social today, and we’re Album of the Week on R3 from tomorrow so at least my listening is sorted.

A dining room with a black-and-white checked floor full of packing boxes, bits of newspaper and bubble wrap a ladder and various types of tape. It’s a mess. So am I.

“From Russian bribes to Musk beaming onto big screens advocating violence, we can’t go on pretending that this isn’t happening. That there are not powerful interests, state and private, East and West, pouring billions into destabilising our democratic processes and institutions.”

Fascinating episode, featuring the regular crew plus awesome @annettedittert.bsky.social. Red Wall feeling betrayed by Labour, Starmer finally calling out Reform, and why pandering to the Far Right gets the centrists ‘nul points’. Also, Farage deflates when called out. And Russia.

I love a political podcast, but Quiet Riot is bloody top notch. The world would be a better and more peaceful place if the licence fee went to Alex, Naomi and Kenny.
