98. Slingshot Them Back, Compassionately

NonCensored

Harriet and Producer Martin are joined by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage for - remarkably - his first appearance on NonCensored, as he explains why he's entered the race for Parliament. They're also joined by Eshaan Akbar who rates Rishi Sunak's non-apology for his lie about Labour's tax plans in a special edition of ApologyWatch. And after a week of being mistreated by the media, Kemi Badenoch stops by to ask what we mean by that.

We have a live show coming up on Thursday the 20th June at the Museum of Comedy, we would love to see you there: tickets. There'll be Lee Anderson, Penny Mordaunt, and MP Rosie Holt will be signing copies of her new book, which is published that day.

Thanks to Leonard Abrahamson, who signed up to support us at patreon.com/NonCensored this week. If you would like to support the show too, you'll get the sow early, without ads, as well as full interviews in video and exclusive bonus podcasts. You can also keep your questions coming to the team by emailing [e-mail]. And we'll refund a month's subscription for any Patreon who buys a ticket to the live show!
