Francis returns for this week's episode as we ponder whether Keir Starmer will be able to escape questions over china and income tax (or whether he had any positive role in the middle-east whatsoever). Then we discuss whether younger women, fuelled by Tik-tok, have become actively hostile to men (or to put it more bluntly 'do birds hate blokes?') In the Patreon only section we respond to Lenny Henry's call for slavery reparations, but end up talking about unusual first names. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.
