LABOUR'S SIMMERING RIVALRIES - (includes live stand-up)

LABOUR'S SIMMERING RIVALRIES - (includes live stand-up)

Author: Geoff Norcott May 28, 2025 Duration: 44:46
I get into some of the murmurings of discontent around the Labour Party (including some gossip I heard about the chancellor!) We also look at Farage's big speech and wonder how he ended up pro-benefits. Then there's the decline of Doctor Who: is it another scalp for woke or something else? In the Patreon only I discuss a brand new book about the cover up around Joe Biden's health.  CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Geoff Norcott operates in a comedy world that often leans one way, but he brings a different, grounded perspective to the table. His What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott podcast is built on the idea that ordinary people have nuanced views on the social and political issues dominating the headlines. Each episode digs into those contentious topics with a blend of honesty and blunt humour, aiming for insight without unnecessary vitriol. You'll hear Geoff's own take, shaped by his experience as a right-leaning stand-up in a predominantly left-field industry, but the conversations truly come alive with guests from across the entire social and political spectrum. Regular contributors like Romesh Ranganathan, Katherine Ryan, Jonathan Pie, Andrew Doyle, and David Baddiel ensure no single viewpoint dominates the chat. The result is a surprisingly balanced and consistently funny exploration of what people really believe, away from the echo chambers. Tuning into this podcast means getting a candid, comedic audit of modern Britain, where disagreement is allowed and laughter is the constant.
