96. Rishi Washy

Harriet is joined live from Westminster by the New Statesman's Tim Dalton and from our Westminster Studio by the Telegraph's Siobhan Connery, who give live reaction to the forthcoming general election - why did Rishi call it, how's it going to play out, and what does this mean for 2029? Harriet and Producer Martin also recognise a Hot & Spicy Takeaway of the Week from Eshaan Akbar about the state of Palestine, although lots of people wouldn't.

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 MP, Penny Mordaunt MP, and MP Rosie Holt will be signing copies of her new book, which is published that day.

Thanks to Stephen Smith 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 full interviews in video, a monthly bonus "time for questions" podcast, and a weekly behind-the-scenes podcast for top-tier backers, which is where we say what we really think about the news and thus run the risk of getting cancelled. You can also keep your questions coming to the team by emailing noncensoredpodcast@gmail.com. And we'll refund a month's subscription for any Patreon who buys a ticket to the live show!

Thanks to Rosie Holt (@RosieisaHolt), Brendan Murphy (@notmurphy), Eshaan Akbar (@eshaanakbar), Bethany Black (@bethanyblack.bsky.social), Gareth Gwynn (@garethgwynn) and Ed Morrish.

Tickets for Rosie's show, That's Politainment!, are available here.

Brendan is taking his show, Buffy ReVamped to the Edinburgh Fringe, and tickets are available now.

Eshaan has a stand-up special, The Pretender, available to watch for free on YouTube, and he is going on tour next year with his show Yum.

Beth has a fantastic live stand-up show, Always Bet On Beth, which is available for £10 from Go Faster Stripe.

Gareth has a podcast with Esyllt "Henny Ffairground" Sears, Xennial Dome, which you can hear here, and also made an excellent documentary about unfinished projects which you can hear on BBC Sounds.
