Italy giving Labour inspiration on migrants, and Keir Starmer can't buy his clothes | Podcast #92 

The “new” set still looks like a green screen fr

Should David Lammy and other politicians not be asking donors to give clothes to homeless charities or food to foodbanks ?

26:22 "No-one speaks Latin, you just translate it." Ava you're literally Catholic how did you forget THE POPE?

I think Ava was spot on about the language around migration. Even those people in the UK we refer to as migrants, why do we call British people living overseas ex-pats ?

Wow, loving the brighter settings folks....hardly makes your experience any better doing the show, but I like it !!

PM worth £8 m and cant afford his own wardrobe. Hahaha Labour voters gaslight. Serves them all right 😂

Ava pointing out that cutting foreign aid and the effects of climate change driving migration are points that cannot be repeated or stressed enough.

It's easy to solve the "migrant crossing crisis". Just allow application in any British Embassy in the world so nobody needs to make the crossing to apply

Good looking General on the right but how did she win all those medals?

It's an eye-ball eating amoeba. Can occur in tap-water!! Contact-wearers more prone to infection due to some erosion of corneal surface due to lens use. People have had to have corneal transplants as a result of the damage caused by this very persistent infection.

I can hardly buy my own clothes either, Kier. Probably not for the same reasons though

Lovely set

Been to order his new suits really , paid by guess who , genie in a bottle ALI

Visual interest! They're looking very squashed up against the background though, maybe move them forward a foot or so? The wide shot also feels a little low down, we're almost peering under the table, hard to judge though. The bookcase is a decent start, though books + fake plants is little blandly Ikea showroom-esque, so over time you probably want to add in Pol Joe souvenirs, easter eggs, framed picture of Ollie, stuff like that to make it more personal. Robot arms are much less robot arms now too!

These guys should take live calls.

"Just personality", nice comeback Ed.

I miss the darker set. It gave it a more casual evening chat feel to it. This feels more like an office pod

PolJoe goes Cozycore

HE IS BACK

Fishy Sunak no sky TV as a kid growing up now a joint income wife included of 200k getting clothing grant , these poor MPs dont half have it rough

Cant believe italian guards look more ridiculous than UK's 😂😂😂😂😂

Please Ed, Ask Mogg for fashion advice.

When I saw the headline on Sunday I suddenly felt like an old man shouting at the TV. How fucking hard is it to put some coast guards out there TO SAVE FUCKING LIVES. I don’t care where they end up but it is a stain upon our country that we can’t do something about this. It’s blood on British hands - where is this fucking Dunkirk spirit I heard about at school. I couldn’t bring myself to comment on the Grenfell episode because, frankly, it’s upsetting and I thought it was handled beautifully, tactfully and empathetically by Laura and Ava. But I’m so fucking tired of politicians refusing to stand for anything anymore they’re all just career nonces who ought to have their salaries capped at the level of their commitment to humanitarian causes. (Whatever the fuck that means) I was in Vietnam teaching English when Grenfell happened and I am haunted to this day by it not because I had any direct contact with the victims but because I saw in real time the perception of my country go up in smoke. I was watching on the news and it was late so I had no one to talk to I walked to the 24/7 to buy some cigarettes and the shop keeper asked me where I was from, I told him, the look in his eyes is what haunts me - he simply could not understand how this could happen - bear in mind this is a country where the union jack is worn as a fashion symbol. Something to show your belief in certain values, little five year olds have back packs emblazoned with it as they cling to their parent on the back of a scooter as they make their way to school hoping and wishing and praying that they could one day come to such great place… It fills my heart with such anguish and deep sadness that those same dreams are what drown in the channel again and again and again - Was it not two years ago a pregnant woman drowned in there in winter. Close your eyes and imagine making that choice stood on the shore. Imagine the fear she must’ve felt as the cold water hit her skin for the first time and the deep regret as the realisation set in that she was going to die. All because she wanted a better life for her unborn child. The callousness of this island is a far far cry from what I used to think this place and its values were.

“Long range a missile” Some of these Ava zingers are slept on… in defence.

I would be more sympathetic to migrants if there wasn't numerous countries travelled though to attempt to get here

Oh this is like what they use on BBC. It's a green screen but with a 3D background. They're still just sitting in a green screen void

Who paid for Johnson's wedding?

That’s a good facebook marketplace find. And generous of Oli to donate his book collection. Points to anyone that spotted his well worn copy of 1984.

Gosh how about the kids who are victims of the 2 child cap

Does the new set have a copy of the Cantunbury tales in the orignal middle English

I wonder if his clothes sponsor was at the red carpet checking what he wore ?

I'm an italian living in England since birth. Tell Starmer to get back home in a rush. No time for fooling the British with a fake show of things he won't bloody do.

This is stupid we already have a deal

Look at these nerds with their books...

sir KS needs to speak to Timpsons, maybe he needs free dry cleaning too. "if it's goin' !" as sir Starmer always say

WHO WAS SHE ON THE DATE WITH ED, SASQUATCH!?

The emperor has no clothes

19 grand worth of so called bits

Nice Genelec. Why have you only got one of them?

Ace&Tate have one of the most amazing pun names I have ever seen. Specsavers get me prescription glasses ,prescription sunglasses, I pay under a hundred quid total. That is the way xDDD

I used to know a guy called Tommy, as in on his birth certificate it says Tommy, not Thomas

Incongruous speaker init

Erm guys can you add post-its to all the books so that we know what they are.

OMG DAVE ON THE PHONE IS TOP TIER CONTENT RING HIM UP *realisesthisisntlive*

I think the EU have snubbed Starmer and he is has been cosying up to Macron , Scholz and Melony in order to raise his profile

I miss the scifiesque giant robot arms now...

Starmer now looking to literal neo-fascists for inspiration on migration policy. Is anyone really still arguing that this guy is not right wing?!

I think sometimes you should mix it up and add a flaming hellscape to your background. Just imagining you lot talking with a burning background is kinda funny (Plus representative of the state of this country).

This set is so bright, way too vibrant

Oh thats much better

Its 4 suits, u mix abd match the pants, shirts and ties to get 64

Is that Mein Kampf behind Ed? Not sure that’s representative of his views

Too much politics in the politicsjoe podcast today!

Can we have a different backdrop each week..... Oh the fun you can have....

4:40 good to see Ava finally hard launch the boyfriend she’s been talking around for months - also is someone forcing Ed to try a new Gen Z haircut every time he goes away? It’ll be full curtains next

Welcome to the loony left show.

Is his name even Edward?

Those were very likely amoeba, Akantamoeba to be precise.

Stuck farmer

Why is there a solitary Genelec 8020 sitting on the shelf?, apart from that I like the new studio look.

what happens when they have a third?

Couldn’t care less if the prime minister and his wife are donated clothes. They represent our country ffs

New background? Politics woah

Andeigh

Lammy was a pathetic apologist for Starmer and the corrupt donations

Heres Starmer lecturing Boris over accepting gifts from donors. ru-vid.comMfWNcZDU1RE

Asylum seekers are not the problem - pensioners are.

no to the new home :(

Speaking of clothes, why pander to sadiq khan a man who sees London nightlife failing as ‘progressive’ as it fits with his behind doors values. I don’t agree with all Ava’s positions but boy does he not respect you when cameras are off. Yiu should also ask sadiq why he socialises with lebdevev so much when the majority of readers of paper arent from London

I dont understand whats wrong with accepting gifts. Do people not give gifts on this planet anymore? Fair enough it would be a problem if it was in exchange for a dodgy contract, but thats not happened...

AVA ...... Alexander Downer Aus immigration minister

Day 55 of asking for a production team microphone.
