It’s been an emotional week after the arrival of a Hamas-Israel ceasefire. This is good news – but issues of humanitarian aid, human rights, and accountability are all still up in the air. The struggle for a lasting peace continues…

Closer to home – Nish and Coco check in with Plaid Cymru’s leader Rhun ap Iorwerth, to talk about seeing off Reform, what a new co-operative era in Welsh politics might look like and why voters may find themselves a little “indie-curious”.

If Oasis can bury the hatchet, so can we! That’s Your Party’s message, but Nish and Coco aren’t totally sold on the Corbyn-Sultana reunion. In the wake of a Green membership surge, the party without a name is drawing dividing lines… But are they picking the right battles?

And – the Iron Lady turns 100 – as lavish celebrations begin Nish and Coco ask why the UK is soooooooooo obsessed with Mags. From Right to Buy to Section 28 – her legacy isn’t looking so great in 2025. And a scary revelation that Coco is spookily good at imitating her.

NB. A previous version of this episode contained an incorrect fact about Katy Perry. We regret the error.
