That is a distressingly magnified close up of Oli. I feel uncomfortable.

1) Sack off the fake plants and get some real ones 2) Close ups of Oli aren't close up enough

We want Ava on the 200th episode 😊

Ava has to be on the 200th episode, othervise who is going to speak for reform?!

Whats with all the awkward Oli close ups 😂

You guys really need to watch some jay foreman unfinished London

Unless rent and mortgages plummet before the election, the inflation rate is meaningless

You're not catching me out, I shall not be sharing my route. In honour of my Opsec icon Ed

Epsom not being in London is a giant scam. We're called "The London Borough of Epsom and Ewell", yet if you work in Epsom you pay higher rates on train commutes and you don't get the London weighting pay top up. I work in the Sainsburys in Epsom, one of the top three, if not the biggest supermarket in country, easily taking £1-2mill in trading every week, and we get paid less per hour than the handful of people who work in the small Sainsburys Local store literally 10minutes down the road in Ewell Village. F-ing Chris Grayling for a decade in the oughts campaigned on getting Epsom put into the London region for trains. The clown was the transport secretary for a bit for crying out loud, and it never happened. Nothing would make me happier to see that buffoon kicked out this election. Sadly, this area is the literal Tory heart, so I'm not confident even with all the Tory meltdown he can be removed >_>.

PLEASE DON'T BUY PLASTIC PLANTS. KEEMON ollie you stand for the environmental issues we face.

Eva is the best of you. Actually understands politics. She has to be on the 200th.

I prefer the term ‘football costumes’ which is made up of a ‘football T-shirt’ and ‘football trainers’. It turns out that the nicest costume isn’t necessarily the team that’s top of the football charts.

You have to appreciate the irony that the first prop you get for your set is long grass

I must have clicked on Oli cam in error

I don't mind Oli's close-ups but where are Ava's? Where's the equality here?

Inflation down to 2% is in no way a red alert for Labour prospects. The reason is a drop to that level doesn’t change how people feel with cash in their pocket. That feeling is more real than an announcement

whoever edited this one was absolutely merciless to Oli

put the ferns in the seats then you stand behind them

I think the background needs a collection of road signs that were dredged up from a canal or a river filled with sewage overflow of the local water company. A true art piece that reflects the spirit of the hosts struggling to make sense of the state of society around them.

Love the extra zoom cam now and then LOL. You're both very clever 🙏

Okay. So I just took my glaucoma medicine and the first few minutes of this was trippy as badger badminton.

Always wondered what the pores on Ollies face would look like up close. 🤣

Drop the link for tickets to the live show pleeeeeeeease

Ollie slowy turning the studio into a small holding

I think the close ups are funny

John Caldwell was the chap on his luxury boat in the Med pretending too work and telling everyone else to stop working from home and get back into the office.

Incredible how downhill the OpSec gets when Ed is away. Full routes to the event? Crazy.

5:06 “Watch this, Lise. You can actually pinpoint the second when his heart rips in half!”

I've been into London for the day from Coventry. It feels like flying to a different country with infrastructure and public transportation

More £s in the budget for staging and props following the Reuters ranking I see 👀. We going up in the world.

did they actually mention where to buy a ticket?

We want Ava to participate! 😂

Please move the plants further to the sides of the frame and not directly behind you. Thanks

Plants are fine but the placement is off- looks like they’re growing out of your heads.

You don't commute to London you commute to WORK. I agree with Ava

Something I've often wondered is what the numbers mean on the backs of the football suits

paused this video because I had to go out.. came back, unpaused at 17:00 and Ava just goes "baga cheese". these are the political insights I live for. Lov Pol.Joe, its my anaesthetic

10:44 love the self soothing nose stroking of Oli.

Don't like that the plants are directly behind each person, looks weird. Have them more on the outside of the person, frames it better

Amazing Oil cam content, please provide one for every member in the future

No Ava no party, save it for Monday

Which one of them is Joe?

Epsom is not in a London Borough.....

As well as places outside of the M25 that should be/are classed as London, there are also places inside the M25 that shouldn't be/aren't classed as London. Dartford!

When are we having the very serious conversation about transport in East Yorkshire and which districts constitute as Hull? Is it only what's connected to the A63?

Every time the mega close up happened I was expecting the music from the dramatic gopher meme...

12:20 it's funny when politicians will follow the "will of the people"™ when it's bad for them but not when it's good for the masses. That aside, the people can be wrong! Voting doesn't mean you're right, it's lending consent, which ought to be withdrawn too.

Love the Witcher 1 close-ups on Ollie, feel like Ava should have a few as well for equality sake

As a tube purist, neither the overground nor the DLR are tubes. The overground has overheard electrical power so is not a tube, and the DLR by definition is light rail, again not a tube. Tubes are distinctly powered by a third rail power system, and for this reason the Elizabeth line is also not a tube. Sorry

Labour M.P. Stella Creasy has made some v. sensible comments on a recent podcast about Brexit. Food for thought for these who are pro Europe/ Trade.

loving the olly closeups 🤣

The plant on the left, I'm fairly sure it's cotton.😂

Oli looks cool today

Thought for moment it was weed 😂😂

the wierd green glow on the hair is what always made me think it could be a greenscreen

Damn the close ups on Oli when he’s being sassy is slayyyy

My question for the 200th show , why the clap at the start

Bought my ticket 🎉

Those close-ups are tickling my fancy ^^

I was a bit confused at the beginning, so I just resorted to my default position of PJ's presenters being allowed to take mescaline. Things were fine after that. And not sure about the camera work...it reminds me of the stuff my class did at college for our City&Guilds in Film and TV.

Central London? I don't even know where that is!

This tight angle on Oli is getting closer and closer Eventually it will go up his nose and we'll be introduced to the herd of beavers and slugs that have been operating him for the last 4 and a half years

Underground, overground, Wombling free... oh, sorry, flashbacks.

Labour Party closer to the Bankers than the Unions? Surely not!

Can we have a giant ED face on a green screen so he can be like the Wizard of Oz and then just do the pod normally

we need Ava for 200th episode!

Green light yea, ferns I'd say nay myself but still loved the joke with them.

I am loving the close ups. Oli is a proper fittie ngl

To be pedantic it's Bamboo. Also it initially looked like to big cannabis plants.

Love the new set, looks less like a GCHQ black site now.

Would be good for you to do something in the Midlands

those close up were soo funny to me and now i feel like im 5

Ava should participate!

says less about tories and more about where Labour has moved, this donor trotts out the usual crap of "expelling loony lefties" etc.

Day 30 of asking for a production team mic 🎉

The curtain is fine. Ditch the plants they look weird and too close 😅

John Redwood ex MP "Brexit has given us important wins already. We are not burdened with the large new debts the EU is taking out and we no longer have to make big payments into the budget. We are free to choose our own laws and taxes. Time to use our freedoms more."

Why would millionaires donate to labour when the could come to the US and buy half the supreme court CHEAP!

Ava closeup when?

If we were to rejoin the trading union how do we get to 4% growth?? Look at Europe's own forecasts - This Spring Forecast projects GDP growth in 2024 at 1.0% in the EU and 0.8% in the euro area.

At 0:51 you say Superman is on the green screen, I have wondered for weeks why you had the green lantern on the floor

Is someone trolling oli with that camera angle? 🤣

3:30 I’m outta here Glasgow is apparently Edinburgh by these metrics 😂

Hearing ‘2 ferns’ initially made me think Fern Brady would be here, so I was a bit disappointed😢, though the fern in the room still look nice

I stand by the idea that one flight is worse than zero when it comes to the rwanda plan. It's just somehow more embarassing, it's like if one person shows up to your party.

I can see right up Oli's nose😳

Ava is on fire today😂

Guys it's like 'nominative determinism' is your phrase of the week, calm down.

Won't be disclosing my travel arrangements for op sec

There's a slight variation on the second option (in regards to Billionaires switching donations from Conservative's to Labour) - The Billionaires think that Labour's policies are close enough to Conservative ideals that they feel comfortable switching allegiance, knowing it buys access to power as well.

Conversation about where London starts and ends is not politics (or interesting). NO! Schtoppit!

the epsom and ewell lore from ava was great

Can’t tell if it’s an absurdist bit or not to cut every 2 minutes to a high quality close up of oli looking a bit sad

Keep the two ferns, you have been on fire today. Funny AF

Didn’t know Obama spoke such good Spanish

can we only have Ava on monday? is that an option

Have the tickets been released for the live show ?

What was that super zoom of oil haha what

Really beating the London-centric allegations 💀💀💀
