i can't believe there's no one called Joe who works at PoliticsJOE!? Where is JOE? GIVE US JOE!

#PurgeWesStreeting

I am increasingly alarmed by Ava's lack of enthusiasm for expressing anti-nonce sentiment.

Soreen isn't bloody posh it's old school and Northern. Bloody post southerners just think it's hipster.

I think the clear difference of opinion between the hosts is around the question of invading Ireland from a while back.

Sorry, I didn't mean to drag the mood down with the question about how to stay positive while engaging with UK politics 😂

As a scouser I am delighted with all the Liverpool love.

The density of political content here is frankly mind-boggling

Got to love PoliticsJoe for being such a fresh humorous look on stuff. A real relief from the norm.

Congratulations on your 200th podcast sort of if you look at it in a particular way

Ed and Ava, please move to Liverpool, you can be in London in just over 2 hours whenever you need to be and Labour were calling for people to be councillors up here a month or so ago.

200 on a technicality 😂

No idea why, but i think you three should youtube a show from the 90s called Dr Kats. whenever i watch you three im reminded of the bar scenes in that cartoon haha. its like their your spirit animals XD and hey Ed, keep up the good work lads and lass

please say you're gonna stream or record the live for us what dont live in London

On the day of 7/7 my school teacher rolled out the tv. My teacher considered that we might be concerned about the events, which I appreciated. Some of us had relatives or friends currently in London, so It seemed to me that he did this out of consideration. I think some kids were getting texts from family members or something so people were starting to get confused bits of information and it would be better to be informed through the news. But then the guy sitting next to me started chatting utter shite about how it was obviously the French because we had won the olympics. I think it's one of the reasons why I've always felt a little uncomfortable with giving the vote to 16 yr olds. We were around 15 at the time, I think. Someone like that kid would have no hope arriving at a sensible political opinion in todays world of influencers.

Damn. I was at work in Streatham (well, playing pool downstairs) when 9/11 happened. And I was in Clapham on 7/7 struggling to get home. I was _not_ at school. 🥺

In 1990 I watched every game of the World Cup in a pair of Union Jack Shorts. My mom washed them the day of the Semi with Germany. She cost England just like Ed cost Scotland. #TashGate

Call me a simp, Ava’s a tall queen and that ain’t nothing to be criticising.

They did aame with me when 9/11 happened rollee out the tv i was 8. I also had to travel on the tube either the day after or within a couple days of 7/7. The train was also stopped for over an hour underground which made it even more terrible.

5:25 Out of context "Grant Hanley had the most touches in Hungry's box" is a weird point! :P

I never thought of Ava as being overly tall but the perspective that was created especially with how high she was above the table behind her made her look like a giant !!

Of all the places to pick both Leeds and Nottingham have several large financial institutions that operate out of them, that have in turn created a lot of satellite financial and tech businesses and industry.

I owe Edd an apology, I thought the dodgy tash was a fashion thing, but I once had a wart right in the middle of my chin, I never thought to grow hiding facial hair! Nice to see his face free of both coldsore and dodgy tash!

Carol Vorderman - Women and Equalities.

Ava isn't wearing black boots again today - is everything alright with her?

When is Olly going to start his new podcast "Cannabis Joe" also is there enough appetite for a PolJoe tour at some point?

Had to come here and listen because the Spotify version is way too quiet for some reason.

About the live show, I'd be interested to hear about what say, if any, polJoe had in setting ticket prices? Concert tickets have become so much more expensive since covid. 45 quid is pretty decent for a good quality seat, so fair play.

solid q&a

Ava's tanks a firmly on Liam Thorpe's lawn

“Hate nonsense” “You two went for the brown shirts this morning, yeah?” I don’t know why I come back to this channel

The fact that none of them said they’d want Mhairi Black in their cabinet is shocking…

Easy answer to the conservative party influence is most people with wealth wish to conserve it and the tories were the party that was able to do that via policy for them... until recently, which now tory doaners are shifting to labour because they are more fiscally viable after liz truss.

Tbf lads you're discounting the massive financial industry in Leeds. it's not london but it's pretty good

Genuinely thought Ed had fishnets on before realising its a mesh thing under of the table 😂

Single market or ganga sounds like a quiz round.

stolen valour, that description does not equate to 200th podcast imo

GB Energy? You know it’s NOT an energy company, don’t you? It’s an private investment company for Tory’s

Fairly disheartened that this isn't a drunk mega pod. Should have happened, let Ed drink his sorrows away.

Reform coming for Yanis fits to be fair.

21:00 When Brexit finishes kicking in aren't all the financial companies leaving London.

gg guys

I'm amazed by the number of people I speak to who are genuinely going to vote reform. Super scary how many are buying into their negative rhetoric

love podcast hate nonsense it's the politics Jo podcast ladies and [Applause] gentlemen (bit boring for the 200th, but the algorithm will do what the algorithm does)

🤠 💜

😂 that stupid awkward round of applause they give themselves.

I love that Pursglove got ridiculed this episode. He deserves more bullying for supporting Boris.

Beth Rigby is mother

what happened to that hotel chair sitting Scottish boy's face !!

Day 7 of asking for a production mic

The reason the right of the Tory party has so much power is because Tory MPs just can’t get enough of pandering to them

Is it "love podcasts hate nonces" or "love podcasts hate nonsense"? 😅

Shock, Londoner thinks London is the best city ever...

End the potpourri

Sounds like the start of a joke

It would be nice if the three people on this podcast didn’t tell each other their private jokes for ages and spoke about what the video is called.

@12:50 Ollie! the mistake you made with the 100th podcast is that it was actually number 30 something. This isn’t 200, your maths is as bad as your ability to save a house deposit you renty little rent boy

The day Lord Farage becomes a thing is the day I launch the military campaign.

My earliest political memory is david cameron being elected - currently 22

I'm sure the smash cut at 16:19 wasn't due to any deeply inappropriate jokes about Stephen Milligan.

Day 30 of asking for a production team microphone.

Can’t work out if Ava smoked 100 rollies at the TS concert or contracted COVID. The cough is real.

Is Rishi doing Olis numbers or vice versa. It’s 200 if you count it like this. Pure podcasts it’s only 78.

Biggest misstep this podcast has taken, is Ollie not screaming at the beginning 9f each episode.

9:03 ironically he was recently listed as among the top 10 sexiest men according to a poll of about a thousand British women, Jeremy Clarkson came top of that poll too.

That’s unfair we’re absolute benefit scroungers here and I sometimes get the kids soreen it’s nice

I have honestly loved this podcast and sad when I dont see a new video on the feed. For context - I am Australian and have limited knowledge on British politics and have no ability to vote to influence UK politics in any way. I just love the humour and find it wildly entertaining. The intro always cracks me up.

Ok.. so I dint hallucinate Laura while sat outside Wetherspoon’s just now then. Good to know.

If the UK wants to decentralise the economy, we should invest in cheap train transportation. A good start is nationalise the railway companies. Then, it should abolish crap housing rules, so more houses are built and add more protection to buyers or renters.

Wouldn't the most Woke meal deal have to include an LGBT by default? ...and also coconut water?

Come on then, own up. Whose decision was it to book the live show at KO time of the match that winners of England's group would play in? OG!

Gotta say I love listening to this unwatchable shite. It's classic British telly.

I'm loving the green tint to the studio. Very Matrix.

200th already, the 100th feels like yesterday. You lot grow up so fast 😖

Where's the tache gone Ed?

Ed looks like a young Eddie Marsan without the tash

Never watched a podcast episode in more need of editing out dead air than this. Great once you get chatting but some editing would be nice lads.

Re Soreen malt loaf being posh.... I used to eat those straight from the packet when i first moved out and had no idea how to cook. "Mum's not here to tell me no, it's my place and I'll eat like a feral goblin". Never realised I was a *middle class* goblin though.

20:38 the question here is an interesting one. The issue is many local people from the north/ midlands might not like places like Leeds, Nottingham etc becoming more like London in the diversity/ culture area. Yes those places are diverse already, but the local areas aren’t but will become so.

Oli, how do you feel about Fin Vs the internet now refer to you as "Sluggers" and would choose you to be marooned on a deserted island with them

When talking about growth outside of London, you can tell Oli has just finished reading Torsten's book

My memory of the death of Lady Di was my youngest coming into our bedroom saying "Daddy., daddy Cartoon Channel not working". I got the Sky remote out and discovered that they were broadcasting the news on all channels. Very sad, she was fit as.

Why do they clap themselves? Genuine question. Its bizzare.

Don’t go to Darlington. I did it for 9 months and ran back to Glasgow when they let me work out the Edinburgh office 😂

Low energy, badly produced, jibba jabba

Can you just call yourselves Podcast Joe?

Day 1 of asking for an air conditioner mic

Scything school with my mate and seeing 9/11 on TV.

was so jacked to tell you guys that it's papacy not popery but turns out both are right :/

First political memory: the credit crunch. The joys of being gen z

There's no link to tickets for the live show. I want to come and you're not making it easy. Maybe I'm just a clinical moron.

What did Ava say was the biggest scandal at 15:30? I couldnt make it out, sounded like prefume, but i cant think what that sounds like.

Vote Reform 👍👍👍💯

Three tired-sounding people fail to answer viewer questions while being startled by a wonky aircon unit : it's the 200th episode special! 🎉🎉
