Summary

• Get your tickets for our Christmas Live Show on Tue 10 Dec at the Comedy Store London. The X-odus continues – but if we all quit the platform everyone still calls Twitter, are we handing a powerful social media engine to the worst of the far-right? Donald Trump continues to make cabinet appointments “so appalling they seem like performance art”. We get updates on the nightmarish backgrounds of Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK. And do elections now simply mean punishment beatings for incumbents? Former Daily Mirror editor Alison Phillips is our special guest. Support us on Patreon to get early access to all our live tickets plus mugs, t-shirts and more.
