Zahawi's gone so that only leaves Rishi Sunak having to make decisive decisions about well, pretty much the entire Conservative Party. Dominic Raab seems to have taken up bullying as a full time job, Jeremy Hunt keeps talking about E's which explains his beady little mad eyes and Boris Johnson really wants people to like him again. Plus a chat with independent councillor Ashley Baxter (@deepingdo) and an important announcement about ParPolBro.

A guest-less pod due to well, carelessness which is the in-word this week. Nadhim Zahawi has been extremely careless with his hiring of accountants to advise he avoid tax on £27m of investments and even more careless hiring lawyers to sue anyone who said he did what he did. Still what more could you want from a Conservative chair than the kind of criminal activity that just shows he fits in with everyone else? A jokes only one on Sunak's seatbelt, Braverman's trafficker assistance program and the BBC being balanced but only between Tory leaders. Donate to the Patreon at www.patreon.com/p ..read more

The podcast returns to find that, well, nothing has really changed. The NHS is in serious trouble, public sector workers are still having to strike and cost of living is still silly. Luckily Rishi Sunak's government are doing a resounding nothing about it, and generally hoping it'll all be fixed by them ignoring it and assuming it'll eventually go away. Zahawi's avoided millions, Starmer's self-diagnosis and a chat with Dr Julia Grace Patterson (@JuJuliaGrace) at Every Doctor (@EveryDoctorUK) on the NHS Crisis.

Do Tories do Christmas? Surely think Father Christmas gives toys out to far too many children and why did anyone let that refugee family stay in a stable when its heated on expenses and wasn't for them? A last brief ParPolBro podcast of 2022 on Rishi Sunak's ant-strike legislation, Hunt letting bankers ruin things again and Labour just being, well, the worst. Pod times will return in '23!

Thank goodness we now know a way we can stop Putin's terrible oppression of Ukraine. That's right everyone, we just have to eschew working rights, and never earn enough for eating or heating again. That'll stop him! You take that Russia, we'll be getting hypothermia over here to totally show you what's what! Nadhim Zahawi's weird ideas, everybody's (kung fu) striking and a chat with Phil Lindsey at the 4 Day Week Campaign about how we should all be working less. 4 DAY WEEK CAMPAIGN: https://www.4dayweek.co.uk/ Donate to the Patreon at www.patreon.com/parpolbro Buy me a coffee at h ..read more

Net migration is at a record high, which is shocking as it means people still want to come to the UK even though you'd wait longer for an ambulance than to do interspace travel and colonise a planet we haven't ruined yet. Tories complaining about wind, Michelle Mone's pants PPE and the protests in China. Plus Joeli Brearley (@Joeli_Brearley) at Pregnant Then Screwed (@pregnantthenscrewed) on the diminishing childcare services in the UK.

Keep the politics out of football they say, something that is easy to do when the World Cup is in a country where they'll execute you for protesting. Still nothing more British than doing nothing about it, which is also how the Autumn Statement is tackling the economic crisis. Rishi Sunak's football wall chart, Swiss deals and who Keir Starmer's been kissing. Plus a return to the podcast from Maurice Mcleod (@mowords) to talk about Labour's undemocratic candidate elections.

Is there anyone in the cabinet that isn't a bully? Has Rishi Sunak hired them as protection or did he have to take them on or they'd flush his head down the loo? Budgets to fill an imaginary black hole, a new deal with France that already hasn't worked for four years and a chat with Dr Vinicius De Carvalho (@rennavmc) at the King's Brazil Institute (@kingsbrazil) about the recent Brazilian elections where they finally got rid of Bolsonaro.

Austerity, blaming asylum seekers for everything and Peter Kay doing a live tour again where he'll no doubt check if anyone remembers his last one. Its all back to the 2010s but with the sad problem that we've already been through them so this is now worse as a result. Bullying Gavin Williamson, even worse Suella Braverman and COP27. Plus director of Progressive Economy Forum (@PEF_online) James Meadway (@meadwaj) on the state of the economy, again but you know, worse since a few weeks back when I interviewed someone about it.
