The brilliant Alun Cochrane joins me to join over Trump taking over Venezuela while we were all nursing hangovers. We start however by digesting Keir Starmer's New Year interview with Laura Kuennsburg and wonder whether any of his mates are telling him the truth about his popularity (or lack of). In the Patron only section Alun has a particularly stinging death story to share, the moral of it being 'don't go on after a guy who juggles guitars'.
