Hearted Youtube comments on PoliticsJOE (@PoliticsJOE) channel.

  1. It's reassuring that there are still people like Ian Hislop at the top of public life.
    3800
  2. I lost a dear friend to suicide during lockdown. The misery of his enforced isolation during his chronic depression was, I'm sure, a factor in his death. He was a person of such kindness, generosity and integrity. His life was one of service in the public sphere and he had already made significant and positive changes through his work. Now all of what he could have been and done is lost. The laughter of these jeering clowns is a mockery of him and all the others who died alone.

  3. Hislop is the most intelligent , literate and anti-corrupt person in the room - we need more like him . Remove lobbying & insider trading - Covid seems to have made MPs think they are invincible
    3100
  4. “Mr Speaker, I’m genuinely unclear….” Probably the most honest words she’s spoken during her entire political career.
    2900
  5. This guy should be a regular on some sort of satirical panel show which covers politics
    2900
  6. People with the same grades as me in the same job as me are 10 years ahead because their parents paid for their house deposit. Spot on.
    2800
  7. The sight of a UK prime minister staring at his feet while he's chastised for his appalling behaviour is one of the most pathetic sights I've ever seen.
    2600
  8. I'm also an economist and I entirely agree. We are a poor country with a tiny minority of very wealthy people. The current stagnation just makes that more obvious to everyone.
    2500
  9. When the lord for anti-fraud feels like he can't do anything, it's pretty much game over
    2500
  10. She's the best example of a politician not answering the question set to them.
    2400
  11. Conservatives: "Free speech!" Also Conservatives:"No,not like that"
    2400
  12. What a shadow of its former self our country has become. Totally embarrassing.
    2300
  13. There's no need to parody the current state of UK politics when it really plays out as it does.
    2200
  14. Joe didn't say that. He said that a lefty comedian would say that but he wouldn't.... because he's very right wing.
    2200
  15. Bassem Youssef has done a lot for Palestine, just by daring to speak up and unmask the cynical lies of the establishment. Great interview.
    2200
  16. The best argument against conservatism is a five minute conversation with the average Tory.
    1900
  17. no matter how intellectual a conversation with Zizek may be, in true and good balkan fashion, he will always end with a vulgar insult to remind himself and all of us to not take life so seriously:)
    1800
  18. "Millennials are no longer young" you take that back
    1800
  19. This is why politics is best discussed in long form discussions and not on twitter/instagram. Žižek is doing a very good thing here by insisting on nuance
    1700
  20. The poppy becoming a symbol of patriotism is definitely a newer thing, I imagine it's been around for a while but it's only the last few years that it became a test for how patriotic people are. The poppy isn't supposed to represent how great, Britain is but rather a representation of the death and destruction of a war that should never have happened. There's a reason it's a poppy and not a crown or a union jack. Poppy's grew in fields fertilised by the dead, It's to remember the death and a warning about war brings not a glorification of it.
    1700
  21. My history teacher always used to say: "A tyranny is always at its worst just prior to its collapse"
    1500
  22. I wasn’t ready for Lizzee Rascal!
    1500
  23. I lost both of my grandparents to covid. They passed away within two hours of each other on the same day. They were brilliant, true and honest people who loved life. We unfortunately hardly got to see my grandad who passed away with Alzheimers in a care home on his own. We didn’t know that my grandma passed away until she wasn’t picking up her phone until she was discovered by my dad who found her deceased on her own at home. We absolutely respected the rules of isolation during the lockdown period and can’t believe what this ruling government has done. We are devastated that we couldn’t visit them. I think that the news that my grandma couldn’t see her husband or her family and friends ultimately broke her heart. We still mourn and regret the actions we should have taken, now seeing what our leaders have done. My grandparents both died alone but we inseparable in life. I know that they’re together in a far better place than this.
    1500
  24. Gary Stevenson is easily one of the most important voices in Britain today. Thank you so much for sharing this interview PoliticsJOE
    1400
  25. “When the rich steal from the poor it’s called business, when the poor resist it’s called violence”. Mark Twain
    1400
  26. This economist makes some good points but I think he is far too trusting of our politicians. They don’t care about ‘levelling up’ but they want the appearance of caring. Also, no matter how much growth this country gets, money will still accumulate in the hands of the wealthy because the rich are the ones making up the rules. The Tories will never knowingly enforce or enact policies which are to the detriment of the rich. But they will never shy away from actions which cause the poor to become poorer. That is just the way things are.
    1300
  27. “I want to hear the Prime Minister, I’m sorry if her own party doesn’t” was not expecting that level of burn from Mr Speaker!😂
    1300
  28. As a woman of 75, I am not charmed by being called a "young man" because I subscribe to PoliticsJOE.
    1200
  29. Actually cathartic to hear a politician be called out by regular human beings. Thank you for collating, and every presenter here, take a bow.
    1200
  30. "I'm hitting the ground, two weeks later so is the pound" Class 👌🏻
    1200
  31. Ian is a sane voice in a mad world and a wonderful wit. It's nice to know that there's at least one person in the UK that is keeping a close eye on Westminster and holding their feet to the fire. Love these long form interviews
    1200
  32. What a treat to have an interviewer who asks interesting questions and then listens to the answer without butting in , excellent work young sir 🙏
    1100
  33. This is like listening to a mathematically gifted James Acaster
    1000
  34. Imagine popping into your local for a pint and seeing Bernie’s sitting there.
    1000
  35. 0:40 "You have to give people a chance" They've been in power for 12 years. That's more than enough chances.
    1000
  36. "Last year was the best year for the pound since 2020" he says in 2022 🤣
    966
  37. The local journalists really did go "sod it, hard questions only" and god bless them for it
    955
  38. How would you like to intruduce yourself? Zizek: sniffs
    943
  39. Ian Hislop is a real national treasure. Immensely funny, intelligent and - unlike so many of his contemporaries - has a set of morals of how people should act.
    940
  40. “The reason you feel bad is because you live in a shitty society, that’s not really discussed anymore…” It’s certainly something that should be, a lot of us who think we are depressed, anxious or just in bad mental health probably aren’t, we just live in a shit world where we are told that the problem is us. I’m taking that thinking into my daily life; I’m not sick, the world is just shit.
    928
  41. "Can you look back over your political career & say you were fully honest the entire time?" Rory: "No, definitely not." Ironically the most honest answer he could've given.
    896
  42. Ian Hislop is a national treasure
    890
  43. I’m sure I remember a time when politicians were erudite, passionate and had honour. These people have more in common with Jeremy Kyle. It’s shocking the level of debate and lack of scrutiny in these strange times.x
    867
  44. “by abiding by the rules, they saved the lives of people they will probably never meet” I’m an American, but regardless of nationality, this hits hard either way
    849
  45. Adam Curtis is an archive wizard, and arguably the most important filmmaker alive.
    847
  46. Such a clear representation of the basic problem, the rich hoovering up homes and renting them back to you
    831
  47. Hearing Tories describe how they feel the mass media is biased against them is genuinely beautiful and hilarious in equal measure.
    828
  48. Just when Eddie Dempsey couldn’t get any more relatable, he packs a Guinness away in 10 minutes
    813
  49. Brilliant to see good people of all ages and backgrounds speaking out against the corruption.
    812
  50. Its like watching some sort of sick game show!!
    804
  51. I've never heard someone so politely deliver such damning criticism
    735
  52. “Mr Speaker I’m genuinely unclear…” the truest words she’s ever spoken.
    735
  53. Wonder how many people will be sat at home freezing and hungry while thinking 'anyone but Corbyn' 🙄
    726
  54. Politically, this year has been like riding a bike with no brakes or steering downhill straight into a quarry full of sewage
    719
  55. Yanis is the person I most recommend to anybody who wants an articulation of the systemic issues we face, and of where it is heading.
    697
  56. Britain isn't poor, it's the people who are.
    672
  57. Johnson's act is wearing thin yet he's totally oblivious and he carries on with the same old routine to the delight of his benches it's embarrassing.
    643
  58. Rory Stewart is an excellent politician. The fact that he was expelled by the Tories says a lot about them. He's too good for them.
    616
  59. I thought after the first guy - OK, he's nailed it. Then every other speaker added more and more salient points in a succinct and punchy fashion. Thank you PJ! Another brilliant video. Very inspiring.
    596
  60. Andrew now gets to live in taxpayer funded luxury without needing to lift a finger nor worrying about the dilemma of eating or heating that so many of us have to face.
    594
  61. The party’s own representative was grasping at straws to explain who are they.
    585
  62. “I don’t accept the premise of your question.” “Why?” Absolutely crying with laughter
    582
  63. Never buying a round is pretty disgusting to be fair. Nothing really goes against the British way of life more.
    578
  64. The trouble is , Liz Truss might see some of these clips and she’ll just say , “ I don’t accept the premise of your criticism.” And then she will go back to enriching herself and her backers.
    573
  65. I love these interviews with Ian and Ollie as it's less an interview but more of a chat between a couple of friends. And considering the absolute dearth of real interviews in the world, a friendly chat between two intelligent, tuned in people is just a pleasant experience.
    571
  66. Can we request a video containing the full list of his lies? Honestly, we don't mind if you publish a 23 hour video just this once.
    566
  67. Oh my god this is brilliant. I’ve been a fan of Zizek for about a decade now. He spurred me into postgraduate study of philosophy and politics. And these last few months and weeks I’ve been dejected, confused, almost convinced I was going insane about these things – Israel, leftism, revolution, the importance of caution and conservatism. And ten years on, Zizek has reminded me why he inspired me in the first place. He’s at least validating and saying: no, you’re not insane, it really is complicated and probably fucked.
    561
  68. Full agreement. People who work a full time, productive job should be able to afford a home and feed their families.
    541
  69. Hats off to all these local BBC presenters, they did not let her get away with it - Liz must have wrongly thought that she would have an easy ride.
    531
  70. Wow. What sheer pleasure to listen to a decent, honest, thoughtful commentary on politics as they are today. How refreshing to come across someone in the political sphere who listens carefully to questions and then answer them sincerely and meaningfully. What a complete and utter rarity. Roll on, PR !!!
    530
  71. People appluading the concept of losing human rights laws is pretty bloody dystopian
    528
  72. This conversation is fantastic. The interviewer and Ian have such a rapport, the information is flowing freely. The informal environment only adds to this. It is refreshing to see individuals in the public eye relating closely to the person on the street. It seems we may have not been totally forgotten
    526
  73. When Liz says she was going to be unpopular, she was not kidding.
    523
  74. I love the direction this channel is taking. Just spitting straight facts whether we like it or not. Keep it up!
    523
  75. the weirdest part of this was hearing Mick and Eddie speak without being interrupted or talked over. The mainstream media is a circus, there's no room for real discussion there - thank you for this
    516
  76. Sir Keir Starmer's reply to Boris Johnson's "apology" is indeed very powerful, dignified and commendable.  I pray that those who suffered, lost loved ones and made huge sacrifices during lockdowns receive some solace from his speech, and know that not all politicians are as ruthlessly selfish, self serving and smug as Johnson is.  As a lifelong Conservative voter with 35 years of Service to the Crown, I will never, ever again cast my vote for ANY of these leeches whilst they remain in office.  I find it absolutely appalling and debasing that we've come to this.  If Johnson had an ounce of moral fibre, dignity, humility, contrition, penance and integrity, he would have made a sincere apology and then resigned.  But of course, he didn't.  Moreover, Johnson just couldn't resist bragging and lying about vaccine rollouts, fastest growth in the G7, building hospitals etc.  Johnson has no moral compass, no sense of shame, altruism, morality or decency. That he clings to his office like a parasitic limpit just proves what a contemptible and worthless nonentity he is.  He doesn't serve the nation, he serves himself.  If his own MPs don't evict him from No 10 pretty damn quickly, then the voting public MUST.
    509
  77. But yet no actual action taken against the PM. Three times the speaker informed him that it was not opposition leaders questions, and yet Johnson kept trying it. So really... does it mean anything?
    505
  78. Still don't agree with his politics but he's always someone I'm willing to listen to and hear him out.
    488
  79. This needs to be a scheduled monthly discussion, they flow so well I could watch these two nonstop 👍👍👍
    484
  80. Never have we needed Zizek more than we do in this moment. Nicely done, Team Joe.
    483
  81. Ladies and Gents, THIS is an interview. Notice how the interviewer both engages with what is said, refers to what was said, contributes relevant information and moves through topics gently. An interview IS NOT, just asking a question and nodding until the guest is done talking.
    481
  82. Imagine a world where this would be how news and newspapers covered economics
    474
  83. "she's very much a politician not of twitter, or of facebook, but of instagram" - wow. a rather millennial set of references, well deployed to make a point.
    465
  84. Even though she ignored them, credit to the Journalists for asking brutally honest questions.
    462
  85. Lol FFS, "my ex wife is Turkish and her whole family coming over is a bad idea", my man, that's an exceptional answer.
    461
  86. Classic intro
    452
  87. I notice Rishi Sunak has been invisible for a while now. Probably preparing his belongings to move next door.
    448
  88. It's nice to see some reporters actually doing their job!
    445
  89. Down the pub with Bernie? I envy you. Definitely someone I'd love to chat with over a pint.
    441
  90. Not a single MP should be able to claim expenses for free meals until every school child in this country gets free school meals.
    432
  91. Really uplifting couple of interviews these last two days 😅
    421
  92. Well done, PoliticsJoe! Massive success with getting this interview!🔥🔥
    420
  93. He didn't refer to any notes, that was straight from the heart with no wasted words👍👍👍
    417
  94. 01:23 This girl hit the nail on the head. It's not the education, it's the network.
    415
  95. These guys are a problem for the establishment, if they're not they should be. Well done PoliticsJoe for giving them a platform
    412
  96. Its not the best accountants they can afford - it's the 'best' MPs and government ministers.
    406
  97. It’s just so sad to know that the same person that asked you to stop ‘living’ was having parties. I was not able to visit my sister before she died of cancer and I was not even able to go to her funeral. The behaviour of this man is heartbreaking. I wish him to go as far away as possible.
    403
  98. More of this please. There's a mental health crisis with men all across the UK, and things like this can really help us understand how to help them. We (men) are human beings in need of help, and this rare bit of attention to our issues can genuinely help us.
    398
  99. It gets worse and worse
    393
  100. It's so encouraging to see a new generation being engaged in politics. Successive governments have slowly worn us down and achieved apathy in the general public. Hopefully seeing someone like Truss being so openly corrupt will wake everyone back up to how unfair this whole system of protecting the wealth of Tories and their friends really is.
    390
  101. Don't always agree with Peter, but always have to time to hear what he has to say
    388
  102. Britain is better than boris, he lacks the moral fibre to represent us, time to go, boy. Good interview.
    384
  103. Great interview. I didn’t know this interviewer before. He did a great job. And Yanis is very bright and honest. Well done for both.
    373
  104. This guy is just absolutely box office
    366
  105. Oh there it is, the animalistic scream of the mighty Slug Daddy. We're back baby
    347
  106. Not enough people know about Drax and family - it's really important and I'm glad you've taken the time to put this video together. If only the larger media would report on this sort of thing.
    344
  107. The most important filmmaker Britain has had for many years
    343
  108. The timing of this video alongside an announcement that the U.K. is recession is impeccable
    342
  109. It shouldn't be remarkable to see two grown men with different views having an intelligent discussion about politics, but here I am remarking on it!
    336
  110. I was expecting this report to be a lot less measured than it was, so thank you. I'm writing this now from an Oxford college - I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to disclose but I've both studied at Oxford and worked at a different college. Here's what I would say. Oxford is an enormous institution: sometimes tourists ask us where 'the University' is and there's no good answer to that question. Within that system, there were plenty of people with more money than sense. I saw this especially as an undergrad: often they went to elite private schools in England, they already had a network, and they felt right at home when they arrived. The rest of us - the majority - were just book nerds, to be honest. To get into the university as an undergrad, you need to either know the system inside-out and have twenty mock interviews and get your personal statement ghostwritten by the right people -- or, you need to show that you really love your subject and you want to learn more about it. My friends from that time were from all over, but many (like me) came from places like the South Wales Valleys, or the Docklands, or Manchester - a world away. We felt like fish out of water. Now many of my friends from that time are doing really interesting research, or they're training to be doctors, or they're working in conservation. Many of them spent their time at the University volunteering their time to good causes, but more than anything they were just so bright and so interesting. For me, that's Oxford. I don't think an Oxford history or PPE degree is the right qualification to become PM. But for these guys - Johnson, May, Osborne, Rees-Mogg, Truss, Sunak - it doesn't matter. It's the people they choose to meet; the circles they hang around in. I never met any of these sorts when I was an undergrad, really. The university is so enormous that you don't have to.
    335
  111. Rory, one of the few sensible people in politics.
    329
  112. Good to see you Oli mate.
    327
  113. What’s wrong with Raab? He looks like a scared and confused old man trying to buy a train ticket in a chip shop.
    321
  114. I'd also mention, rishi increased taxes. Yet his wife doesn't pay any taxes because of citizenship. His wife made investments in Russia when Russia was supposed to have sanctions. Everyone else loses out whilst rishi's family who have £200 million get even richer.
    315
  115. The Radio Bristol chap really put her on the spot. Good for him.
    314
  116. Excellent responses from the Private Eye team. It's not that complicated really. Every MP should be required to publish an annual report of their attendance, voting record, surgeries and - crucially - other income and interests. How much they receive, what for, and what they actually did. Also how many hours and days they spent working for these other interests. We also need a fully independent standards commission with legal powers of sanction even to the extent of recommending recall of an elected member.
    313
  117. Didnt realise prime minister's questions was the PM asking questions and not answering them
    312
  118. Genuine 20 minutes of absolutely 0 politics talk, instant classic this episode
    311
  119. "spent the last 3 months following the Conservative party" a moment of silence for this man who had to suffer to bring us this video.
    310
  120. Kudos to the interviewer. I think you surprised Slavoj with how much you could follow him and summarize and respond back to his points immediately. I think this has made this meeting very pleasant and informative.
    305
  121. This was an excellent interview. Competent, non confrontational but firm on all sides with open and honest engagement. More of this, please!!!!
    297
  122. 4 hours! So going by previous episodes we can expect a good twenty minutes of politics chat! 😉
    295
  123. That's when you know you are doing really well "the questions are wrong"
    294
  124. Politics JOE - keep interviewing and publicising the knowledge, common sense and understanding of the normal people. Thank you.
    294
  125. "We all make mistakes or do things people don't like" — most of us don't make mistakes that cost the nation £65 billion in a week.
    292
  126. "whether we like it or not those are the rules of the game that we're all into, and we play by the rules don't we?" (laughter ensues) 9:33.
    291
  127. I'm not British, but this man needs to be considered a national treasure.
    283
  128. That is a distressingly magnified close up of Oli. I feel uncomfortable.
    279
  129. This man is the truth
    276
  130. Absolutely outrageous, arrested for having an opinion should not happen in a free society.
    275
  131. "What are you actually gonna do?" "...I don't know."
    275
  132. An excellent discussion...a brutally direct and engaging account of a truly despicable individual. A big thanks to Sonia and Oli.
    272
  133. "What's something that would really improve people's lives?" "Smiling" About as effective as clapping for the NHS instead of a wage increase
    272
  134. This guy is the kind of man who should be in leadership. Love his book. Sadly politics (and most workplaces nowadays) are a case where the people with the least integrity seem to be given the most authority.
    271
  135. Thank you to that lady for having a heart and caring for the children. Solidarity 💪🏻❤️
    268
  136. I look forward every year to Ian Hislop's wrap up of the last 12 months. I would be so happy to have this monthly
    265
  137. Always a pleasure to watch these long form interviews with Mr Hislop. He is the exemplar for journalists everywhere, the epitome of speaking truth to power.
    265
  138. The cut to Ed when Eva said "big gaping hole" absolutely killed me 😂 God bless the Joe production team.
    264
  139. Good work Joe Dugmore.
    263
  140. I really want a regular Ian & Oli show/podcast/series. These are so much fun
    261
  141. Delaney is great, and he says a lot of smart stuff. Unions are the best way to fight back at the moment.
    260
  142. "Liz doesn't know our demands or what time of day it is" really caught me off guard
    258
  143. Sadly, I don't think we've got close to the bottom yet. But Ian Hislop is a genuine gem.
    258
  144. Fascinating insight... as an adopted scouser I'm no fan of the Sun, but thought the conclusions of how the tories have been hollowed out of talent by idealogues and the link to Brexit was compelling
    257
  145. Love this guy. Intelligent. Considered. Polite. Respectful. Thoughtful. Coherent. Informed. Experienced. Totally rate him.
    256
  146. No balanced reporting across the media. Thanks guys for holding on to journalistic ethics.
    252
  147. I watched this live. A complete shambles.
    252
  148. Impressive that you've managed to fit in so many of his lies in such a short video. Good job 👍
    248
  149. Finally a sensible interview that reminded everyone this is ALL because of Brexit
    248
  150. Not often I agree with Peter Hitchens, but he's right about the treatment of the protestors against Prince Andrew and the Gentleman in Oxford who said "who elected him".
    247
  151. “The people shouldn’t be afraid of the government, the government should be afraid of the people.”
    246
  152. the fact we have food banks in this county is a pisstake.
    243
  153. "Hello there....I know all the good lookers" had me dead!
    240
  154. What an excellent interview! The more I listen to Ian Hislop, the more I like him; a thoroughly decent individual, funny and engaging with a very finely calibrated moral compass. Brilliant man. Thank you.
    236
  155. can't believe they killed Ed off screen like in No Country for Old Men. he was my favourite character.
    235
  156. Politics Joe interviewing from across the political spectrum deserves credit
    229
  157. I don’t know much about politics so it was very interesting for me to hear David, this former editor of the Sun Newspaper, no less, say exactly what I was thinking about the Liz Truss and the terrible Brexit situation. It’s time for a real change in direction. It’s time we thought of other people, not so fortunate as ourselves, tried to actually help people rather than hate the poor and less fortunate than ourselves, blaming them for everything when really we should look at ourselves.
    224
  158. The way that Ed can go from 16yr old skater to 40yr old virgin with just the change of a shirt
    223
  159. Well that was 50 odd minutes of rational discourse and I loved every minute of it. These two together are a political marriage made in heaven. I wish that they did either a weekly or monthly show together. They could put the world to rights in no time.
    223
  160. Fantastic interview, and a really important book. Also, I really appreciate her genuine shout out to her Phd student who coauthored her book.
    223
  161. He's also been sacked from two previous jobs for lying and cheated on two of his partners. He's not fit to be a parent let alone run the country.
    220
  162. Swede Mason hasn't missed a beat
    219
  163. "Public interest and what interests the public are not the same thing" I really like that statement.
    214
  164. Great video. Love hearing Yanis' perspective and views.
    211
  165. The world needs more people like Bernie Sanders. Great interview.
    210
  166. Clicked on to watch 2 minutes of Ian talking about the BBC but ended up watching the whole thing without really realising. Awesome interview. The first thing I've watched of yours but love your relaxed and informed style was extremely enjoyable and informative. Thanks!!!
    210
  167. More of these please. It's great holding a camera up to a reasonable people, and then seeing the contrast to the strange, conspiracy theory spewing, I-have-all-the-answers, nonsense talking bigot. When someone's argument starts with "In 1066 ... ", you just have to laugh. It's really sad though. I feel sorry for him, and others like him. But as long as he doesn't cross the line of hate speech, he's entitled to his opinion.
    209
  168. I look forward to this every Christmas. I enjoy hearing Ian Hislop's perspective on the year and PoliticsJOE does a fantastic job of teasing all the good stuff out of him.
    209
  169. Lady has more compassion in her little finger than all the wastrels in government.
    209
  170. This was really really well done! So many "news" outlets resort to shock value in their thumbnails and titles, "blood and fire in the streets of P" for example. Thank you for showing the nuanced reality of these protests. 99% regular working people, marching for their rights. The editing and filming was on point, choice of title cards was great and showed respect for our culture. "Sous les pavés, la plage" is spot on, a foreign outlet capturing the intricacies of that statement is top tier journalism.
    205
  171. The best leaders of men and women that I have worked with, lead by example. This explains the terrible and corrupt mess this island is in.
    204
  172. This was extraordinarily good. The way this flowed was really impressive. Talking for nearly an hour, barely pausing and with no repetition and being completely engaging throughout too.
    204
  173. I’ve been where a lot of the workers are today before being made redundant. Enough is enough, we need better rights and a voice.
    201
  174. God bless this sweet soul. It's people like you lady that give humanity hope. Keep being the light!
    201
  175. "It seems like Scottish men already know what they need, it's just that nobody's listening to them...". This short content barely scratches the surface of the sociopolitical circumstances that contribute to this situation, and it still does a better job of identifying issues, and speaking to people with Lived Experience, than many a "commission" has done over many a year. Recovery groups save lives. There's more to them than working a programme or steps, finding a power or purpose. It's a form of healing that drink, drugs, and other forms of self medication can never replicate. Grateful today, that I learned to shirk off my toxic, fragile, inherited ideas of what masculinity is, and was able to be initiated into a more genuine and empowering dynamic of "manhood" with the help of other men who had the courage to share their experiences with absolute honesty and authenticity. It's a connection and medication that no no substance or behaviour can ever replicate. Best of luck to anyone that is struggling. 4+ years sober. Never an example of how it should be done, just evidence it can be done. And encouragement to find a way that works for each individual.
    195
  176. Day 12 of asking for a production team microphone. Fucking crying at the intro. Well played
    191
  177. I'm currently helping my partner deal with a cocaine addiction. He's come so far and his family and I are so proud. If his addiction were treated as a medical issue (he has ptsd and adhd) and not a legal one, we could have access to support and resources. Instead we have the added burden of keeping it covered up while telling him not to be ashamed. If we had support, we wouldn't have almost lost him, it wouldn't fall to me to improvise as a sudo-medical practitioner and I probably wouldn't have lost an aunt to heroin. I use what I learned from her to help my partner. It shouldn't be that way
    188
  178. Politics Joe is such a gem. Great interviewer, he always asks thoughtful questions, obviously does his prep beforehand, and doesn't interupt the interviewee.
    187
  179. Ava looking slightly embarrassed during the intro makes it
    187
  180. I'm not a master poet, But for the right word I will hunt. My apologies for the inference, But Boris is a...
    182
  181. I'm sorry, but I couldn't take a word of that seriously without it beginning with "Love podcasts, hate nonces!!" 😅
    179
  182. The only thing wrong with this calm and informative interview is that it is on YouTube and not on national TV. We need a leader like Jeremy Corbyn, for the Labour Party and for the country. Labour is now in the hands of career politicians who believe in allowing focus groups to determine their policy, whether or not those policies have anything to do with promoting social justice. Labour should be led by socialists.
    177
  183. Could Andrew Fisher and GarysEconomics talk to JC and put a YouTube channel together to educate the nation please? We need to understand and get answers to where the "£700 billion" came from. Educate the masses because that's what those in power fear the most! Btw keep up the good work Joe
    175
  184. This woman is sound as fuck, more interviews like this
    175
  185. Just saying I'm 61 and watch Politics Joe. Young people have been well and truly screwed by this government and what impacts young people and the many impacts how I vote.
    173
  186. As an Eye subscriber, I sometimes find the mag' a difficult read, because I get so bloody angry at some of the stuff in it. I don't want them to tone it down or stop telling it like it is. I just wish the truth wasn't quite so shitty.
    173
  187. Day 17 of asking for a production team microphone
    170
  188. You need more than a 3 minute video to list all his lies and betrayals. More like a box set.
    170
  189. I'm going to say it. Ed Campbell, son of Alastair Campbell, is the Suella Braverman of the Pubcast. First, he calls all Scottish nationalists moronic simpletons. Before launching into a tirade about how he hates the audience and advocates for anti-abortion. He also advocates for British colonial territory. Stating "We're not giving it back". This onslaught by Mr Campbell is so horrid it makes seasoned journalist Ava Santina burst into tears. As his colleague sits next to him, sobbing uncontrollably. Ed Campbell laughs maniacally at her sorrow. Even Oli "Boomer take" Dugmore is left speechless and stunned. My sources have told me that Ed Campbell has extensive links to the fishing industry in the UK and Big Tuna. Don't believe his lies. #notmygoldenboy #BigTuna
    169
  190. One of the biggest reasons the general public don’t like the idea of decriminalisation is due to this country’s enormous alcohol problem. By separating these other ‘bad’ substances such as cocaine and cannabis and calling them drugs from alcohol and cigarettes which people don’t associate with drugs (but are actually some of the worst drugs out there) they can continue to live in their oblivious little bubbles and stigmatise people who don’t conform to the norm
    168
  191. Ian Hislop is the right combination of politically astute and absolutely hilarious. More Please!
    167
  192. Solidarity from France. I live in an area with loads of British expats and so many of them are simply crushed, and exhausted just by thinking about what's going on in their motherland. Truly heartbreaking.
    166
  193. Oli was absolutely right about having to move to other urban centers to get the best jobs. I live in Sheffield and had to look in Leeds, Manchester and Derby for jobs after graduating from a masters. I eventually had to commute ever day to Derby at immense cost to myself while stuck on low grad wages. All I can say is thank god for the pandemic and working from home which made me nearly £4000 a year better off.
    166
  194. Fascinating, interesting and illuminating conversation. That flew past. Not very often I am completely engaged in an almost hour long conversation about Politics, especially regarding members of the Tory party but I was absolutely focused for the whole conversation. I have to admit that I think Mr O'Brien was correct in pretty much everything he had to say about what has happened to Britain, especially over the last 13 years. Its good to know I am not mad in thinking things are actually the way I perceive them to be, despite constantly being told by those politicians in power that things are actually different to the observable facts I see every day. Its reassuring to know that I am sane and the government are actually just trying to gaslight me and the rest of society on a daily basis. I look forward to reading the book.
    166
  195. Oli Dugmore has blood on his hands for not talking more about beavers
    162
  196. You guys are doing great work giving a voice and platform to these people that would otherwise be forgotten or looked over and I appreciate that
    162
  197. Brilliant interview, Private Eye the most honest media outlet in the UK.
    158
  198. So love Ian Hislop, he should be interviewing politicians!
    158
  199. this intro deserves an emmy
    158
  200. Does anyone else want the pubcast to be longer? I could listen to these three banter on about poltics for hours
    158
  201. Brilliantly done, spot on! The costs of the Australian system this is modelled on come out at millions of dollars for a few hundred people as outlined in the Guardian today. A new low for Britain.
    155
  202. I love how its take Slavoj over 5 minutes to briefly describe who he is. Brilliant 🙂
    154
  203. National strike is long overdue, lowkey really does his homework, wish more people could hear what he says, more power to him, ✊👍👏
    154
  204. The intro isn't loud enough shout louder
    151
  205. top notch reporting. shows clearly how delusional these people are without outright insulting them. they can demonstrate that themselves. I could compare this to panto, as it's a traditional british thing that has actors in drag, but, as you say, they don't actually care about that, they just want a reason to distract and have us shouting at each other
    150
  206. "Get out of my pub" love it!
    150
  207. Really enjoying this, love to see it as a weekly event.. Cheers
    147
  208. I'm glad the podcast has responded to feedback about the lack of politics discussion by talking at length about Ava's friend's pee fetish.
    146
  209. Absolutely amazing interview, I'm no stranger at all to politics or political interviews but there were many things even I wasn't aware of. For some time I have known that Labour under Starmer are basically the establishment B team, just being prepped to take over the continued managed decline of the country and the NHS, but Lowkey really expanded on that with a lot of information that I wasn't aware of. Really important that as many people as possible see this interview and understand the implications of us not resisting this shitfuckery.
    145
  210. great video, well put. This is what happens when we allow unfeeling psychopaths to run the country.
    145
  211. This interviewer, although he has the face of a teenage Pizza Hut employee is possibly the best new talent on the scene. Asked the right questions then sat back and shut the f**k up. Such an interesting guest and he knew it so he kept out the way. Hats off to the young sir.
    145
  212. I like how that quote ends in the same way they tell the demon to leave the girl in the exorcist movie.
    141
  213. Spot on! They knew so they are complicit, and they also benefitted from him being PM. That's also why he is still in the driving seat.
    140
  214. Thank you, Joe, for this excellent conversation: you asked intelligent questions and allowed Peter Hitchens the proper space to answer them. Such behaviour is rare in these heated, tribalised times: well done. ☝️😎
    138
  215. Lot less rudder chat when Ed's not here, not sure how to feel about it
    138
  216. Beautiful beautiful bit of journalism here guys ❤🔥
    136
  217. Not exactly the most substantive analysis of greens I’ve heard
    135
  218. Day 8 of asking for a production team microphone
    135
  219. Please do these 1h interviews with Ian every 6 months!!
    132
  220. Oli crawled, Ed walked, so Laura could run
    131
  221. Fantastic interview. This should be plastered all over social media. The true face of Boris Johnson
    130
  222. Nobody leaves a pint of Guinness untouched, on the bar, for near 5 mins. I’ll do my own research from now on. That’s straight up disrespectful
    129
  223. Im in love with how off the rails this podcast gets its so fun whilst still managing to cover real topics.
    128
  224. I’m soo glad you brought up the Guppy thing. So many people don’t even know about it.
    127
  225. Go Ed go, your like a Xl bully! Give them shit Ed!!
    126
  226. petition for the goldfish to be called “love podcasts” and “hate nonces”
    125
  227. wonderful interview. Its great to have someone like him.
    125
  228. I love this podcast so much, really speaking for the younger Brits. Keep doing what you're doing!
    123
  229. Never really post anything too personal, but this podcast has been a weekly ray of sunshine in months of blackness for me, genuinely looking forward to it every week
    122
  230. Happy birthday Ava! *parliament walks out*
    121
  231. It's a shame we can't get quality interviews like this on msm
    120
  232. Day 45 of asking for a production team microphone
    118
  233. I do love that when Ava asserts her self-confidence she tends to start sounding like a Boosh character: "You should see these eyes. They see everything"
    117
  234. Cracking interview Oli! Corbyn is the Prime Minister we needed and should have had - I hope he continues to influence the direction of travel for this country for years to come as much as he is able.
    116
  235. GE let’s fucking GOOOOOO
    114
  236. Good documentary tho, the statistics don't lie. Those healthcare professionals in Portugal were class.
    114
  237. Absolutely incredible when Zizek complained about Oli not arguing back. (Respectful) confrontations in interviews are what get the truth out
    109
  238. Are we going to talk about the fact that Oli was just a floating head and pair of hands?
    109
  239. Like your channel very much. As a builder with a wasted economics degree, I disagree somewhat that if private housebuilders and developers build more homes, that will lead to better affordability. It just won't. Good quality new 'council' housing, including repurposing existing commercial spaces for this use, is the only way to address the problems we have. It's the nature of the housing, not the numbers that are the fundamental issue imo
    108
  240. This is just so great. This video should be played on every TV station for all the dummies that ain't worked out just how corrupt this whole system is. Such a great interview, such a fantastic piece of common sense once again from our hero Mick Lynch who should be proud of his words of wisdom. Thanks so much for bringing us short, very enjoyable and hugely important vids like this. I have a dream......Mick Lynch for PM.....
    108
  241. Great interview Ava. Huge respect to Stephen Flynn!!!
    107
  242. an excellent interview, Mhairi Black is such a refreshing voice in politics and Joe as always producing good informing content
    105
  243. This is my new favorite Christmas tradition!
    105
  244. "Something has to give and I don't think it should be children's spirits" ✊😭 preach. Well said.
    105
  245. As an American who watches this podcast due to Ed, Oli and Ava being so entertaining; can't help but wonder why I cannot purchase a shirt that says "love podcast, hate nonsense." I'm literally about to pay a stranger on Etsy to make me one.
    103
  246. Victory to the RMT
    103
  247. Please, please get Gary on every LBC radio presenters time slot. This wonderful guy who has dedicated his time and energy for the last four years. Love Gary Stevenson ❤ Thank you Oli for promoting Gary's intellect and foresight ❤
    103
  248. Considering it’s really windy and I can’t see any microphones, the sound quality is excellent 👍
    101
  249. I really like this team. Really good merger of personalities, under a well constructive brand. Subtly subversive. Great voice
    101
  250. I was a government press officer and that is precisely what the Special Advisers got us to get our ministers to do and the key messages are designed to steer clear of the issue at hand.
    100
  251. As a huge believer in the free market and capitalism, this man's polemic speech is a hammer blow to highlighting capitalisms biggest flaws, he has the background to back his rhetoric, I will definitely get his book. Will also subscribe and will go through his youtube channel, a new convert here! We need more people like Gary in politics, especially as Westminster currently has a dearth of talent, ideas or vision.
    100
  252. Glad to see Postman Pat standing alongside his comrades.
    99
  253. Great interview from the interviewer and Ian. More truth in one man than the government
    98
  254. Thanks guys. Really thoughtful, persuasive and intelligent discussion. Correct to keep the arguments away from the normal petty party lines. Keep up the good work 👍
    98
  255. The sad thing is that I like James O’Brian but without a weekly Tory implosion we wouldn’t need him. Very good interview and a very good guest. A lot of the country needs a lesson in critical thinking
    98
  256. Pure, unadulterated chaos disguised as a politics podcast. Never change!
    97
  257. "Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance" Great quote.
    96
  258. Oli mate carry on what you're doing, exactly as you are... I do love your interviews, you and PoliticsJOE are doing a real service for us all by providing us with these insights. 💣
    95
  259. Excellent incredulous laugh at Mogg there, golden boy. Thank you on behalf of sanity.
    95
  260. Oli's newfound insecurity about Ava's increasing celebrity is fun to watch
    95
  261. I found this incredibly interesting. Especially his thoughts on how Brexit had created the structure in the Conservative Party and therefore our government. Loyalty to a dogma is key to promotion and power rather than merit, knowledge and talent. It's the opposite of a meritocracy. When loyalty to something so lacking in sense implies those in power are either not very bright or just corrupt then you end up with an idiotocracy.
    94
  262. This was a fantastic interview with Ian Hislop.
    94
  263. “I like to breathe the same air as union members because it’s good for you.” Fantastic from Rob Delaney.
    94
  264. I lost my grand father during the 2021 winter lockdown. The entire previous year i was not able to visit him in any capacity because of the rules around care homes. I could not visit him to say goodbye on his death bed. Listening to conservative MPs laugh when questioned on so many of these issues is gut wrenching to me. Ultimately Johnson must go if the conservative party are to make any form of real apology to us the people. He has lied and lied and lied repeatedly. I just can't stand it anymore. So many of us sacrificed so much, and they just didn't think the law applied to them. This is the conservative party of Thatcher, Major, Howard or even Cameron and May. They have purged all of those with a backbone, all of those with honesty and integrity. The truth matters little to them, even their so called "successes" are mired in inflation and mistruth. I am tired of this, and to top it all he is currently under investigation for a social gathering within his own flat during a lockdown. We have a PM who is being investigated by the police for breaking his own rules. If that isn't a reason to go, then i don't know what is. He should go now, but my god if he is found to have broken the rules by the police then every single MP of the party should drag him out of number ten by his neck. No resignation speech. Nothing. Shameful dejection from high office.
    93
  265. That dinner lady is twenty times the person Nadine dories is.
    93
  266. Much better. Well done. I await parts 3 through 12...
    92
  267. Long may the Hislop/Dugmore mentoring sessions continue. I watched the John Sweeney interview yesterday and Olie’s ability to allow the guest to speak with limited interjections is a breath of fresh air. He has a big future ahead of him.
    92
  268. Damn I started following you guys for football news and now I'm watching a half hour video on the economics of inequality. Good job 👍
    91
  269. Utterly brilliant, accurate, incisive and reaffirming truth, thanks a million Grace and Oli.
    89
  270. Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. N'oubliez pas!
    89
  271. This was genuinely a fantastic interview
    88
  272. Charlotte Nichols was a delightful guest. Knowledgeable and down to earth; not what I expected from an MP today.
    88
  273. Fascinating listen. What a man.
    87
  274. Laura was great here, we need more of her!
    84
  275. What a wonderful interview, James O'brien has a superb ability to understand and see through people. I have two kids, one went through a British state system, although the school was one of the tops, and the other had an international independent education, both have the same views and understanding of the society.
    84
  276. I myself am not in a good place , so it is nice to see you making this content. i hope alot more people see this and it helps them seek help. I continue to feel depressed and useless and have had help in the past but have become lost again since covid. your video has made me think it's about time i start with going back to my doctors , so thank you for being what is to me a great help in making me want to reach out again. thank you so much.
    84
  277. Solidarity from Africa, looks like we'll be doing a concert for you guys.
    83
  278. I just love Ollie's desperation to have more than 45 seconds of serious conversation, and Ed and Ava's insistence that it will not happen. It's exactly like me trying to discuss politics with my mates.
    83
  279. Well! that was the most weird, amazing and interesting conversations that I have had the pleasure to listen to, for many a while. l Loved it and also agreed with pretty much all of it. This crazy Zizek man is mad enough to speak the truth at a time when the truth is about as welcome as leprosy. We need you bro. Don't let them cancel you or shut you down.
    82
  280. I'm no Green party supporter, but genuinely confused why Olly decided to open the pod with 10 mins of a story about a guy in Germany from 40 years ago. I've looked on Google's 'News' and I can find anyone recently talking about anything related (bar Glinner's ramblings 🤢). Was it just because of "Dudes Rock"?
    81
  281. This was a really heartwarming night! Make no mistake, we all have to stand together from this moment on. And to the lovely Folks from Politics Joe, thanks for including a few bits from me, I'm really flattered! Like I said last night, you are the future of decent, truthful journalism 😊
    80
  282. My wife and I love doctor who and it's been fun predicting our right wing family members being triggered by these episodes.
    80
  283. Just started watching and absolutely love the accidental filth that comes out of Ava's mouth and the snort laugh when she realised. You all are awesome and I love watching and listening to you all.
    79
  284. This podcast is absolutely insane, whoever edits this is genuinely unhinged for leaving some of this stuff in. It's great keep it up!
    78
  285. “What he reported were the facts”. What a novel idea!
    78
  286. I wonder if Bernie knows that the Politics Joe team are the ones who filmed and popularized that viral video telling people around London how much medical bills are in the USA. Very glad and happy for the team and for us all that this interview happened.
    77
  287. Fuck yes, three of my favourite blokes in one of my favourite places: the pub.
    77
  288. Ollie screaming about a general elction gave more serotonin than ive had in months
    77
  289. I reckon Adam Curtis's analysis of our current situation is the most honest and thoughtful I have yet heard. He seems a very open minded guy. One of those people who is able to look at the world and attempt to see what is really going on as opposed to trying to impose his own self serving dogma. A very harsh judgement on the Dartford marshes though 🤣. One of my favourite places in the UK and I don't see it as full of knuckle dragging racists, not least because there are very few people living there. Lots of people in Dartford itself and the surrounding urban areas but in my experience they are a pretty good natured bunch and half of them are immigrants anyway.
    77
  290. Love this much respect for your channel and the people of France
    77
  291. Outstanding. A long form interview conducted and presented intelligently, cohesively and with incredible observation, with attention to the details that really matter. Gary and Olly - you understand and speak the truth. This is a legendary interview.
    74
  292. Fantastic journalism! The cinematography was outstanding. Getting into the thick of it, and giving us the true option of the French people. We stand with the French people. Viva la Fance!
    74
  293. If Labour don't win after this I don't think anyone or anything can help them
    73
  294. Just call it the Bleepcast and bleep out the name every single time.
    71
  295. If you make a "sexual chaos" t-shirt, I'd buy it!
    71
  296. Charlotte Nichols being unprepared for the gags and struggling not spray her beer all over your mic? Best part of the pubcast by far!
    71
  297. Great interview. I really like this guy. He actually answers the questions asked 💪 I was actually going to spoil my ballot in the next general election but I am really enjoying what Labour stand for with Starmer at the helm. The one thing I am looking forward to with glee will be hearing the news the day after the election that Truss, Mogg, Braverman, Zawahi, Coffee, Kwarteng, Johnson, Patel, Mourdant, Raab, Gove, and all the other orcs have lost their seats 👏
    71
  298. As a Northern listener, I'd like to point out that it's fucking totemic that the boats in London come more regularly than the buses in Bishop Auckland.
    71
  299. PrisonTok? Come on Ollie I thought better of you, it should clearly be called NickTok
    68
  300. PoliticsJoe "Podcast formerly known as the Pubcast" rolls right off the tongue
    68
  301. I like this commentary format. You two are a good paring 👍
    68
  302. From Sadiq to dick jokes to Petain, Penny's wardrobe and everything in between, thank you guys, never change! Oh and Bonsoir, as a french citizen,, UK politics are quality entertainment!
    67
  303. Brilliant to see two observers I really admire chatting together. There's vision, humour, unbelievable articulacy. Thank you JOB and Oli!
    67
  304. You guys shouldn't be so worried about going over an hour! I prefer longer format and a 3+ hour pod of you three getting smashed just chatting shit would be peak entertainment! Special crimbo edition?
    67
  305. Ed and Ava both having zero clue about ocean's 11 for like 5 minutes when going for film titles and counting 11 over and over is so fucking funny
    66
  306. Idk what's changed with the lighting and colour but this episode is giving Voldemort orphanage flashback and I'm here for it
    65
  307. This is top tier, elite content. Cracked me up several times. Also "piss, shit and kiss" needs to go on a shirt, as does Ed's floor plan. Obviously.
    64
  308. This is my favourite politics podcast, despite the fact no politics is discussed in more than half the episodes. I also like the nonce disclaimer at the beginning of each episode, as an alarming amount of the conversation is about nonces, even when it's not about politics! Thanks guys x
    64
  309. One of the most fascinating videos I've seen in a long while. Nice one Oli & Gary :)
    64
  310. Weekly reminder that Ed Campbell is faking his fish phobia to hide his links to Big Tuna (and his mermaid fetish).
    64
  311. Perfectly crafted, embarrassed to admit I didn't know about the dubious guest to his daughter's wedding. Thanks for the education. Please keep them coming.
    64
  312. With my username, I am obliged to support Hislop et al on this, doing the job that the main press ought to be doing.
    63
  313. This might be the best 3 and a half hours of fish etiquette and Sisyphus references I have come across, 10/10 would recommend
    63
  314. I love how the intros are getting more and more loud and aggressive. Genuinely makes me laugh
    62
  315. Fantastic interview, incredibly well informed and articulate. Bravo to PoliticsJoe and Oli for, as usual, letting and leading the interviewee to successfully speak their piece uninterrupted. Rare that an interviewee (or just someone in conversation) does such a great job in conveying and contextualizing their sources for why they believe what they do. Found this whole discussion super fascinating and informative. These are the types of discussions that have real value!
    61
  316. 30 minutes of peak nonsense before PMQs, never change pubcast, never change
    61
  317. Ummm, what exactly was the thought process behind this thumbnail?!!🙄😂🤣
    61
  318. The entire end segment was an all timer 🤣
    61
  319. I feel it's age based discrimination that I, a 28 year old can not claim a state pension.
    61
  320. I've just gone on Ebay and bought the Mr Bean Pez dispenser that Oli was looking at.
    61
  321. Wondering why this is called the pubcast but as it ended I realised it's the exact weird af conversation me and my friends have done the pub as it clears the whole room...
    60
  322. This is easily the best interview I've watched for a very long time, everyone should be watching this!!!!
    60
  323. You guys are amazing @PoliticsJoe. Thanks a lot for your hard work and the great reporting!
    59
  324. surprised theres no maple syrup on his front bench the amount of waffle he throws up
    59
  325. Great documentary about an issue far too easily forgotten. Using the example of Portugal could you imagine describing Britain as a progressive society using compassion and support on both social and medical grounds to treat drug addiction rather than an antiquated judiciary system which fixes nothing? Nah, me either
    59
  326. I like this format of informal piss taking and you need to make it an hour, there is so much material to delve into and its very refreshing to hear laughter instead of outrage, thanks folks for keeping us sane in these mental times
    59
  327. I've really been enjoying the show with Ava and the funny voice guy😊 Now a new guy who's openly ginger, that's so brave😊
    58
  328. I watch this guy often in select committees, always gives very good answers, good on him!
    58
  329. I believe the term is 'absolute weapon'
    58
  330. Thank you for the wonderful work you all do. Especially the background staff that have to deal with the triumvirate of chaos.
    58
  331. Great article as always Joe. Dishy Rishi is very fishy…
    58
  332. Really enjoyed this conversation, great insights and thought provoking words, great job everyone x
    58
  333. Always worth a listen. Don't always agree but find his infectious enthusiasm and jokey demeanour a real tonic. It's the barely suppressed giggling that gets me the most. A right laugh.
    58
  334. The interviewer displays impressive knowledge 8:30 onwards. Much better than most mainstream interviews. Well done.
    57
  335. This guy is quite a good interviewer
    57
  336. The great man looking cool as fuck. Enjoyed the interview.
    57
  337. Can this be a monthly thing please? JOE interviewing Heslop. Cracking summary of the UK. Great talking points. "Andrew is a nonce" Had me laughing so much when Heslop quoted that.
    57
  338. I think Eds indestructible nerve and ability to absorb endless shit from the table is world class. Bravo lad
    57
  339. Ed's got a brilliant sense of humour, big up ED!
    56
  340. Fantastic as always, it's a highlight of my year when Oli interviews Ian Hislop and they put the world bang to rights! Keep it up
    55
  341. Très bon reportage ! Les images et le texte sont parfaitement choisis et montre la réalité que les medias traditionnelles ne montres pas . BRAVO 👏👏
    55
  342. The interviewer actually listens to the answers - and builds the questions on them. It's a rare pleasure. It becomes apparent to me, that too many journalist don't seem to bother listening. They just shoot off their prepared questions, without actually bothering to hear the answer. Oh, and of cource I loooove Bishop
    54
  343. It’s rare you see a politician this relaxed. A breath of fresh air.
    54
  344. i love all three together , but love a Ava and Ed epsiode of the pubcast.
    53
  345. "We are living on the grounds of the estate" great quote, have never heard that before. Depressingly true. Incredibly interesting video and viewpoints.
    53
  346. Gary rocks! Amazing interview ❤
    53
  347. Fine words from all interviewed. It's time to stand up and be counted..... 👍
    53
  348. BBC would have interrupted him midway through first sentence 😄
    53
  349. The episode ended in the most chaotic way imaginable 😂 It was perfect
    52
  350. We went in for dubious reasons, messed it up and left those who were loyal to us in the lurch. Shameful.
    52
  351. Big shout to all the contributers here. Time in Glasgow well spent Joe. Thanks for shining a light on our heroes and showing us the troubles they face..
    52
  352. Excellent video! Would be nice to see more of you guys and your opinion on broader issues like this.
    51
  353. J.S Durden is so tragic man
    51
  354. Interesting interview, thanks. Refreshing to hear and quite surprising coming from a former Sun editor. The worrying but for me is the inability of the media to call Brexit out for what it is. As long as they ignore the elephant in the room then we can’t move forward from this.
    51
  355. I don't even live in the UK, but I really enjoy these pubcasts. I wish every country had something similar : young, informed people able to comment on current events, and critique, draw conclusions and give underlying reasons for bad behaviour on the part of their representatives. And it's so engaging. Well done team !
    51
  356. I adore listening to this man even though I disagree with him on many issues ...... He has been sidelined like most journalists who dare write the truth.
    51
  357. Had a rough day and this podcast always puts a huge smile on my face as we laugh our way through the apocalypse
    50
  358. You guys are pumping out the content recently, keep it up
    50
  359. Oli cold launching a new fade
    49
  360. been listening since the first podcast, the lack if whoops is truly disheartening
    49
  361. Im with Ed that sick people should stay at home if they can instead of coming into work to spread sickness.
    49
  362. Don't usually comment but I have looked forward to every one of these, please keep it up!
    49
  363. All this time I assumed Oli's name was actually Joe.
    49
  364. Some of us don't have a choice in not indulging in rampant sexual chaos... 😂
    48
  365. Fantastic open journalism. Through all the troubles and Youtube news reels this is the one that gave me more understanding of the whole situation than any other . Thank you.
    48
  366. Me: I’m 40 and broke Multimillionaire Jeremy hunt: have 20p
    47
  367. Absolutely class as always, I wish the media exposed some of this…
    47
  368. This collab has become one of my highlights of the year :) Also, you absolutely watch every 3 months 😂
    47
  369. This is brilliant and accurate and proper dialog about our country plz keep this up
    46
  370. Please rename this to something that boomers would watch if I share it on fb
    46
  371. To be fair, this was a stellar interview. All areas on topics covered and found the commentary very coherent and on point. Great 👍
    46
  372. Ooooo…love the golf clap start. Classy.
    45
  373. Oli, I've been watching a lot of your interviews recently, and I have to say you have a real talent for this. Keep up the good work!
    45
  374. Just to state the obvious, Ava is an educated articulate white woman so a crime perpetrated against her is obviously treated differently to, say, a black kid in lambeth. Not to say white women are not victims of bad policing (sarah everard) but the explanation of her positive experience is definitely not because one police force is good and the other is bad - the underlying systemic issue is related to the nature of policing as an institution, not the Met just being mean for no reason
    45
  375. For the record, David Tennant's real name is David McDonald; Ed was entirely right that he changed it because of Equity rules, and he actually chose 'Tennant' after Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys.
    45
  376. That said, great reporting, stark contrast to the true-crime style fear riddled stuff that Vice produce
    45
  377. Harold Wilson is actually the most recent PM with 2 non-consecutive terms, and both Churchill and Wilson were contiguous leaders of their respective parties from government to opposition to government again.
    44
  378. Thank you for such a measured and thoughtful discussion. Gives me hope!
    44
  379. One of the most intelligent interviews we've seen in a while.
    44
  380. That was a really good interview. I hope eople are paying attention - as a society we actively need to make the changes.
    44
  381. I love the pubcasts. And the thumbnails are always a joy. This was an exceptional one.
    44
  382. Great satirical paper and man and the interviewer is very good too.
    43
  383. What a brilliant conversation. Bell is very interesting to listen to. You at JOE really do something special. Thanks.
    43
  384. I've watched several interviews with Peter Hitchens over the past few days and this is the first in which interviewer and interviewee get to make their points without interrupting each other. Thank you for presenting Peter's logical and dissenting voice so professionally. I agree with him wholeheartedly.
    43
  385. At 8:30 you demonstrate an excellent knowledge and synthesis of the subject matter in this interview. You blend it well. Far better than a lot of mainstream journalists. Hislop is lucky to have a good interviewer. Bravo.
    42
  386. How about a further follow up video of great things he hasn't done? eg covering the lies about lowered crime rates, unemployment, vaccine rollout (should be credited to NHS not Tory party), etc etc
    42
  387. Producer Laura's cameo was excellent.
    42
  388. Great video, the production quality has clearly gone up a notch.
    42
  389. Amazing conversation that lasted almost an hour and didn't even feel it. Thanks!
    42
  390. One of the best reports I have heard for a long time. I also found a possible explanation for so many East Germans suddenly liking there old system!
    42
  391. This video should be required viewing for EVERYONE in the UK. What DY says is absolutely spot on in all respects.
    41
  392. This would be great as a longer form documentary. In fact, I'd love to see a series looking at the different parties and factions. Because we don't see much unbiased coverage of the differences in the parties - especially online. Edit: I'm not saying this clip was bad, it was very interesting and I liked the approach. It just whetted my appetite for more! 😁
    41
  393. 😄😄😄 I really liked your interview with Ian Hislop. It was very relaxed, friendly and really informative. Many thanks for you work.
    41
  394. If you are called Boris, you can even become Prime Minister !
    41
  395. This interview should be shown on the news at 10, maybe Britain would wake up
    41
  396. You used the perfect interview format for Adam Curtis <3
    41
  397. Best discussion I've heard so far on this. Great content guys
    40
  398. Ian Hislop is always an honest, very clever and very funny guest. I haven't seen the interviewer PoliticsJoe before, but he has a very good interview style (relaxed, asks good questions and is obviously intelligent), so I have just subscribed and will watch more :-)
    39
  399. Now I'm waiting for the "just a bunch of lies rishi sunaks told"
    39
  400. Watching this was a breath of fresh air. Seeing an interview on a serious matter where the interviewer isn't continually interrupting or trying to make their own point, and asking what's ok to talk about or not, respecting that choice then moving on - Fantastic job on a difficult subject.
    39
  401. I've just finished watching Traumazone and have been champing at the bit to hear from Adam Curtis about it. This is a brilliant interview, and like he said, makes me feel strangely optimistic in a way. I hope we can work out a better way forward.
    39
  402. Well this guy certainly did his homework. Excellent questions which he allowed to be answered instead of interrupting with his own opinions. Class interview, really enjoyable.
    38
  403. We need more journalism of this quality to reach as many people in this country as possible. Great work Oli
    38
  404. Every pubcast just gets better and better, keep the work up! loving it
    37
  405. Oli and James are both such good interviewers, provide space, make impactful helpful points, shrae things at the right time. This could have been much longer and the enjoyment would not have waned. I only wish the subject hadn't been so damn depressing, but at least it was honest and that trumps everything.
    37
  406. It's devastating that more people in the UK don't know about this channel.
    37
  407. "The fat cats are obese and farting . . ." absolute classic.
    37
  408. 4 leather jackets? Champagne socialists
    36
  409. Is politics Joe mainly geared towards young men ? Or young people ? Or ? Maybe I'm just an older guy watching thinking it's geared towards anyone who is interested in politics 🤔
    36
  410. Love this interview. You and Oli have my respect. Is it time for revolution yet?
    36
  411. I'm paraphrasing, but 'We don't realise what it was like for millions of Russians thirty years ago.' is a fantastic start to this video!
    36
  412. Superb interview…👏 Much Respect for him, being critical isn’t supporting the opposition..! Most politician are out of touch..👍
    35
  413. "And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met." Martin Luther King
    35
  414. The OG cast is back and I'm here for it
    34
  415. Pmqs starts at 22:00
    34
  416. pulled a muscle laughing in the last 3 minutes, thanks guys
    34
  417. This video gets a like just for the Disturbed dad joke 😂
    34
  418. Politics Joe has become my favourite political channel. Anything topical, anyone deserves a roasting, you're all over it guys. I particularly liked the pub interview with the amazing Eddie Dempsey and Mick Lynch - true working class heros. This vid is hilarious, and like the other fantastic videos, I'll share it far and wide. Amazing work thanks for all your entertaining and thought provoking videos.
    33
  419. Oli laughs at his own jokes, so that we don't have to...
    33
  420. Christmas doesn't being untill Joe drops the yearly interview with Ian
    33
  421. I pressed the thumbs up before watching the video. Love these interviews.
    33
  422. The thumbnails just get better, laughing already and there's half an hour before the show. Top job.
    32
  423. Hardest working people in political podcasting, great content as ever 👍👍
    32
  424. That was one of the most sincere and honest reviews of the political landscape I have seen in years. Bravo.
    32
  425. Great video as always. I think the thing I appreciate most about PoliticsJOE videos is the evident empathy with which you interact with everyone. It’s so nice to see, and a pleasant change from the norm in national media
    32
  426. John has always been a great investigate journalist. This is so illuminative. He does not deny the depravity or guilt of these people; but has sought to understand the psychology of why, which deepens understanding. Thank you.
    32
  427. Great interview and interviewer. Excellent if depressing, but not surprising apart from the fact there are still people who remain seriously intellectually challenged who still support him. Even worse those who simply don't care how the image of the English has gone town the tubes.
    32
  428. I go here for news first, love what you do guys and tbh the country is such a fu****g dumpster fire it's good to have the pill sugared with a bit of wry humour. Nice work.
    32
  429. The connection between snooker & oil production is the fact the we are now talking about it.
    31
  430. Going by the good 20 minutes before PMQs were discussed. Procrasti-cast.
    31
  431. Brilliant interview. Ian Hislop talks so much sense.
    31
  432. Very good interview. Thanks for the explanation, Mr. Bell.
    30
  433. Oli going for the paint me like a french girl look
    30
  434. They never leave you. I lost my Son back in 2006, and then a miscarriage in 2007, both are still a part of me.
    30
  435. Who would be reporting on this if you guys didn't? There is a deafening silence in the mainstream around the increasing poverty levels. I really appreciate the work this channel is doing.
    30
  436. I like this channel, straight to the point very well presented & easy to take in no boring unable to understand terminology where you have to pause the video to research what it means, spot on👍
    30
  437. I think you should start naming these like Friends episodes, this would be - The One Where They Talk About Piss
    29
  438. love this firstt guy. just a regular dude making excellent points. same goes for every one tho
    29
  439. That was a powerful start... Oli really going for it, Ava with the accidental innuendo and Ed going full jingoistic!
    29
  440. What do you expect when Raab is busy getting a suntan, BOJO is busy out dogging and Biden has escaped from his care home again!
    29
  441. Great first podcast can't wait for more love you guys
    29
  442. Well done Joe, for letting Mick and Eddie get their points across without interruption
    29
  443. Excellent discussion very thought provoking & I agree with a lot of the options.👍
    28
  444. Excellent choice of interviewee. Well done Joe.
    28
  445. What is the point in listening to intelligent people saying exactly the way it is because nothing fucking changes
    28
  446. These are such a breath of fresh air. No nonsense, just straight shooting the real shit about whats going on with our nation. Love it, will see you in the next one. P.S. please post the clips to a different channel or something because I keep seeing a new video and then it turns out to be a clip from the podcast I already watched haha.
    28
  447. Lads, you've got 326k subscribers. Do you want us to chip in and buy you some audio kit that works?
    28
  448. I love your coverage! Someone who lets him talk without raising stupid talking points. As enjoyable as it is to watch him topple talking heads, the time is better spent making his points.
    28
  449. This guy is really something special.
    28
  450. Love politicaljoe going for the jugular with the tories. Bravo👏
    28
  451. Why did Ed burn the saltire while screaming "Staunch loyalist, long live the king fuck the nats"? Was a little strange, but I enjoyed the podcast regardless. Maybe needed a little bit more politics though.
    28
  452. It's like your house is on fire but you're staring at your phone going "nonce, nonce, nonce". Mortgage rates, food bills, energy bills, corruption and austerity are burning this country but we still have time to destroy someone over their private life.
    28
  453. One of the best political/social interviews I have seen in years.
    27
  454. Great questions and fascinating answers from an extraordinary man. Long may he remain greedy for the enjoyment of what he does. It benefits us all.
    27
  455. Ian Hislop is a star... Proud to support Private Eye whenever I see it on the supermarket shelves
    27
  456. Happy birthday Sean, whoever tf you are
    27
  457. This is what we need in an election year reality. Keep up the good work guys
    27
  458. Rob Delaney is great but the interviewers on this channel are the real heroes; they ask relevant and incisive questions that invite the questioned to really open up whatever the subject. Thank you for your work.
    27
  459. this is one of the saddest and heartwarming interviews I've ever heard, all at the same time. I'm not ashamed to say I cried
    27
  460. wtf happened in 2020? HOW IS THIS NOT 12 HOURS LONG??
    27
  461. Can’t wait to buy the book
    27
  462. Adam Curtis is such an important historian. Thanks for this great interview 🙏🏻
    27
  463. Once again thank you guys this is fantastic reporting
    26
  464. Keep on saying it how it is guys... open, uncensored, honest journalism with a grounded sense of reality and quite light hearted at the same time. No BS, no Westminster bubble, no pandering. Please keep it up :)
    26
  465. Ed does such a good job, give that man a raise.
    26
  466. Makes my week. Every week.
    26
  467. Ed was never more Scottish than calling Cummings a fanny.
    26
  468. This is wonderful. Really, really great.
    25
  469. That was great. You guys have really grown this into a great channel.
    25
  470. The best comment on the Prescott punch was by Barry McGuigan - "If he'd planted his back foot more firmly, he'd have had him down."
    25
  471. Very funny and educational interview. A good reminder of everything that's happened in another year on Normal Island.
    25
  472. AUX AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARMES CITOYENS
    25
  473. Excellent, the best political commentary channel on YouTube... thanks
    24
  474. Great report thank you 🌈
    24
  475. I really enjoyed this interview! Thank you both.
    24
  476. You’re on to something really special with this podcast - Keep up the good work team!
    24
  477. What a truly exceptional interview.. I'm not sure I could share such a personal experience..
    24
  478. What a great interview. Oli gets under the skin with some probing questions, it’s a refreshing debate on a topic that so often falls into ‘that’s racist’ territory without properly exploring the subject.
    24
  479. Good interview. Hislop is always entertaining, and incisive 👍
    24
  480. Another brilliant interview by a brilliant filmmaker. I'm so glad he's spoken about his documentary because I missed hearing his own words in the actual film itself
    24
  481. petition for Ava to start saying “thanks for having me” again. I miss it 👉🏻👈🏻
    23
  482. Love to see Swedemason still putting out dope shit.
    23
  483. Highest Leave vote in the country was Boston, Lincolnshire. 75.6%
    22
  484. To be honest, according to the data, there are a lot of empty homes. So, building new homes is not the only solution we should be aiming for. We need to consider improving the rental market as well and not just focus on home ownership.
    22
  485. You guys are the best lol....20 minutes in and I had to check what exactly you were supposed to be talking about !!
    22
  486. I'd also like to add we don't vote for prime ministers. We vote for parties who elect a leader.
    22
  487. I want to hear more about the landlord getting thrown out of a window
    22
  488. Fantastic interview! Adam Curtis is incredibly insightful on societal wide problems. One quibble is that the city video footage is too interesting and I found myself repeatedly having to go back because I wasn't paying attention to the audio.
    22
  489. I’m looking forward to this thanks Joe
    21
  490. Woop! Glad to see Ed back as well! Doesn't feel right without Ed!
    21
  491. Oli & Ed making it clap was not on my election bingo card 👏
    21
  492. based
    21
  493. Oli absolutely horsing the pints into himself
    21
  494. Bloody wonderful, I watched his 7 part series Traumazone on Russia yesterday. So glad I listened to this, he just manages to tap into the zeitgeist and get to the marrow of what is happening and I'm so thankful for his optimism at the end, I feel it too, all is not lost. ❤
    21
  495. Thank you so much for this wonderful interview. I have been losing all hope in our country and starting to think I must be going mad. What a fantastic tonic it has been to listen to someone as intelligent as Peter, make such salient points. I must say I agree with so much of what he had to say and it is such a relief to hear someone as respected as Peter say these things. Oh for people like him to be leading the debates in Westminster! Whether we agree or not, it makes such a welcome change in this time, to hear coherent, reasoned points rather than irrational, gossip, bile and hate. Thanks again, for a glimmer of hope in dark times.

  496. I really want to see more of you and Ava talking please. There were things you could have delved much deeper into. Thank you.
    20
  497. I watched live and thought Oli came across really well. Talked smartly about social media and A.Tate.
    20
  498. It's quite telling that these 'post-show' conversations are more insightful than the programmes themselves... its almost as if LBC/BBC aren't interested in proper in-depth debates and informing people...
    20
  499. Enjoying your output even as an oldie!!
    20
  500. Why is London filled with empty properties? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4IwwIPel68
    20
  501. god someone get them a henry vacuum :p
    20
  502. One of the best interviews iv watched thank you
    20
  503. You are articulate and interesting enough to take over when Ian retires. Not that I want to see him go.
    20
  504. Hello Nicholas how’s the hand ?
    20
  505. What an incredible interview to listen to: At first it felt annoyingly long, near the end I wanted it to go on for longer. This is a truly woke person.
    20
  506. I disliked because this was only an hour long. I lied, I left a like, but you guys need to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and pump out 8 hour podcasts. Daily.
    20
  507. Im not sure it’s usual to laugh so hard that milk comes out of your nose at a politics podcast but you guys get me every time 😂😂
    20
  508. I love the disbelief that no one is watching the pubcast because of how absurd it gets, then we end up on Ed in a jacuzzi with a large but supple tuna
    19
  509. I really enjoy these sit-down discussions, more please! (and thank you!)
    19
  510. PoliticsJOE, Eddie, Mick and Jezza all in one scene, what is this, a crossover episode?
    19
  511. i am not sure i agree on the "many small parties are less stable than a two party system" point. as a swiss citizen, where we have about a dozen parties of significant size + the head of state being split between 7 ppl of different parties, i think our system is sometimes excruciatingly slow, but on the positive side, also very stable and resilient against extremism. But it may well be that the transition from one system to another brings great instability, so for a two block system any early moves away from that seem very destabilising ofc
    19
  512. The way that Oli and Ed act like they don't know the rules for going to the kink club, we all know that you both go it's fine.
    19
  513. Good interview, it looks like you ambushed him when he was shopping. 🤣
    19
  514. my favourite thing about the pubcast is the one sided sexual tension between Oli and Ed
    19
  515. My favourite Christmas Ghosts, lol.🎅🎅🎅 Ed was on top form. He's like a nuclear sub of tipsy chats!
    19
  516. That thumbnail is incredible 😂😂
    19
  517. Thank you Political Joe. One of the best podcast I’ve seen with Mick Lynch and Eddie Dempsey. Respect! 👊🏼✊🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
    19
  518. Great interview, horrid subject, truth found clearly.
    19
  519. The whiskey gives the show a different vibe and I don't hate it.
    18
  520. Fascinating. It’s so good to hear intelligent, articulate and informative conversations. Thank you both
    18
  521. Olí needs interviews like this to recharge after a Pubcast.
    18
  522. That was utterly engaging and informative. Thank you.
    18
  523. About time you legends cranked out a podcast. 👍
    18
  524. How I've missed the Politics Joe misfits.
    18
  525. I love how Ava puts a spin on what Ed says that is absolutely not what he means.
    17
  526. Cracking interview - I always find Ian has an insightful take on things, suburbia sounds quite interesting. The interviewer is really good, every bit he's done seems to flow so so well.. Good content, thanks.
    17
  527. Oli is such a good interviewer
    17
  528. Ed, you just set a 20 second timer on my HomePod.
    17
  529. He’s such a top man! Always fascinating. Great interview and podcast (Jon’s latest) 👌
    17
  530. People like James and Olly give me hope of a better future and the more people who can hear their views the better
    17
  531. I subscribed because of the brilliance of this conversation.
    17
  532. Oli: "I'm not gonna riff on this by myself" Also Oli: gets a lbc gig by himself without the golden boy or the only serious journalist
    17
  533. This came up in my recommended feed, but I must say that this is an amazing interview - Rory Stewart has amazing insight into this situation and talks in a balanced and realistic way about important topics that sensationalist media and typical phony politicians will never touch on. The interviewer also asked good questions and gave Rory ample time and space to answer. I learned a lot from this interview and am thoroughly happy I watched it. Good job, PoliticsJOE.
    17
  534. Phenomenal interview. Staying indefinitely was never a credible option, but fleeing like this has been shameful--couldn't agree more.
    17
  535. Hi Joe, thanks for the posts, They are quite unlike any other post I see on youtube, as I rarely watch TV, and youtube is the only social media I ues they help me keep up with things I might otherwise miss .
    17
  536. Wonderful interview. Good chemistry between these two.
    17
  537. With the war, you can use the weapons of mass DISTRACTION.
    17
  538. I love you guys. You keep me sane or just give me some company in my madness. I enjoy hearing about your wobbly escapades Ava! Hope you recover all your wares!
    16
  539. Pt 2, in an infinately running series
    16
  540. Come for the political commentary, stay for "marble doesn't bounce"
    16
  541. Thank you for exposing the truth Grace. Great interview Oli
    16
  542. What a good interview! Almost unknown to see such interviewing and quality of discussion these days, especially on mainstream tv
    15
  543. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH ED CAMPBELL? FREE HIM AT ONCE
    15
  544. Thanks for the AA Gill book recommendation.
    15
  545. do this with mental health hostages-i mean patients, police recently introduced new measures to manipulate mentally ill people, recovered patients can't be let out for months even years as no place in community, the need for a 'social model of mental disability', I would do it myself but I'm too mentally ill lol we need advocates. Thanks JOE channel keeps me sane(r)
    15
  546. It's always great to hear Adam Curtis talk about collectivism and individualism. You did an amazing job expanding the conversation. Top marks.
    15
  547. the crossover I never knew I wanted so badly
    14
  548. The comment about FPTP you do get extremes they are just in the two main parties. I prefer to have a voting system where my vote counts unlike the rotton broughs we have now
    14
  549. I'd just sit and listen to you guys chat for 4 hours about fuck all. More of this 😅
    14
  550. JOE and Russel Howard together in a video? Now I'm really getting hyped up for series 6.
    14
  551. I love the way you refer to the LGBTQ community as "the gays". It's got why yes I am one of those queers energy 😅😅. Trans rights! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
    14
  552. I'm ashamed to admit I did the "Ooough ooough" exactly in time with Oli.
    14
  553. Wow. Didnt expect to be tearing up 30 secs in. I mean, i expected it with the subject matter but that hit me hard. Im at a bus stop ffs looking down at ny phone and blinking away tears so noone sees
    14
  554. Super interesting. Something I've been looking at as a part of my social psychology degree hoping to go on to cyberpsychology.
    14
  555. That was really enjoyable. Never really heard of adam curtis, but seems to have a pretty decent analysis of the current situation we find ourselves in and a hopeful glimpse into the future
    14
  556. Genuinely love the pubcast so much, always makes me laugh a shit ton, wish it was a lil longer ngl but still love it
    14
  557. Always a pleasure to listen to Zizek, and thank you Oli and Politics Joe for leading such a thoughtful discussion!
    13
  558. Perfectly crafted interview. Thanks.
    13
  559. As a whisky drinker, I feel I must object to the choice of whisky.
    13
  560. Great interview. Mr Hislop excellent as usual.
    13
  561. Good piece of journalism, well done
    13
  562. ed is so sexy
    13
  563. Excellent interview.
    13
  564. Excellent interview. Thanks for posting this.
    13
  565. Love this format and the discussion, however I dearly want to see an episode of this where you are all drilling the pints 🍻 cheers
    13
  566. Ed going off on one miming a gun was amazing, never go on holiday again Ed
    13
  567. No, his name is Joe now
    13
  568. Excellent video that - I'm 75 and hold exactly the same views as you. Well done Joe.
    13
  569. For about 15 mins i was thinking "Jess Morden, where have i heard that name before?" And then i realised oh yeah, shes only been my MP for about 20 years 😂
    13
  570. This is a fantastic video. So relatable. Really appreciate it
    13
  571. Give up on the hair, Thelma. It ain’t staying back
    12
  572. I literally shouted HOT DAMN when I saw this
    12
  573. I love how 40% of this pubcast was dedicated to tuna
    12
  574. I’m so thankful we have this channel 👏 keep up the good work guys
    12
  575. A great post and I love your taste in beer.
    12
  576. This nick was the flag ship of the Met...I for one am sad to see its decline into a moribund shell...it really was an exciting place to work back in the day...I take your point about an empty space that could house many homeless people....guess it's a sign of the times.....often old police buildings get used for police training like tactical firearms ..hence the casings....
    12
  577. Love the Brian Butterfield nod!
    12
  578. Could watch these two all day long, love this from JOE putting out some fabulous content lately
    12
  579. Superb interview, superb participants - I especially liked the laughter between em - normal but smart guys spot the holes in the Tories gradually disintegrating kit, Emperor Boris may be gone, but the replacements insist on wearing his clothes, Hold them up to the light, not a brain cell in sight
    12
  580. I really enjoyed this interview. The positive ending echoes my feelings. It is more than time for something new and our youth will find it.
    12
  581. .watched your channel from the start and i really like how its progressing . intelligent and insightful . thanks for your hard work
    12
  582. Been following you guys for years now on twitter and facebook, however i love these long form youtube videos, keep them coming!
    11
  583. Genuinely enjoy your videos & analysis. Keep holding all of them to account.
    11
  584. Wonderful interview. I could listen to Ian for hours.
    11
  585. The kidney stone urinal had me rolling LOL
    11
  586. Not sure whether it's a deliberate decision, but today's intro not having 'Ladies and Gentlemen' tagged on felt real nice. I'm aware that people using the phrase aren't trying to exclude us enbys but we do exist and we do appreciate a move away from binary norms so I'd welcome the updated intro if it were to stay. Thanks for the content, folks. All the love! ❤️
    11
  587. Really enjoyed the first ep, good balance of opinions Excited to see where the podcast goes.
    11
  588. PoliticsJOE is the only channel where I watch every Podcast/PUBcast/interview to the end, irrespective of what combination of Ava/Ed/Ollie is presenting. Maybe it is because I live in Spain.... 🤔
    11
  589. I could listen to James talk like this for hours. A great interview between two great people.
    11
  590. Happy birthday Shaun lad!
    11
  591. This was fascinating to watch/listen to. Thank you!
    11
  592. Another insightful doc guys!
    11
  593. PoliticsJOE, thank you so much for all of your incredible work. You have such a deftness of touch when dealing with people. No ego, no hidden agenda. The United Kingdom is my home country, and although I left after the Brexit result, I'm still a British Citizen and it breaks my heart to see what is happening to the country I grew up in.
    11
  594. Primo “Content” - Thank you Joe 🙏
    11
  595. Most brilliant discourse I’ve listened to for quite some time, thank you for uploading 😊
    11
  596. Best commentary on this whole saga. Love this channel.
    11
  597. Brutally hard hitting, but sadly all too factual. Thanks on behalf of so many of us!
    11
  598. Well done PoliticsJOE a good interview and coverage.
    11
  599. Great reportage. I've subbed.
    11
  600. 24:27 minutes of gold then you started talking about politics
    10
  601. Good job Ed and Ava (& crew), providing the sweetener as humor that makes the politics as medicine easier to consume.
    10
  602. Fascinating and informative interview.
    10
  603. Outstanding interview. Very good explanation about current political events in the UK.
    10
  604. One of the most brilliant insightful interviews I have seen in ages. Thanks, great subject matter.
    10
  605. Lol found the cop
    10
  606. They didnt 'leave it in' this seemed more involved...almost like they "thumbed it in"
    10
  607. I love you guys, inform me on stuff going on with good takes and just generally make me giggle at all the fun nonsense you talk about. Looking forward to the 100th episode and many more.
    10
  608. Ed and Oli are clearly feeling Ava's absence on the Pubcast, as they descend into blokecore with their unsolicited critiques of Oppenheimer and Rishi Sunak. They start by discussing Oppenheimer's new car, which they deem to be "too flashy" and "not in keeping with his image as a serious scientist." They then move on to Sunak, who they accuse of being more interested in "brum brum boxes" than in the nation's lung health. They point to his recent decision to cut funding for public health initiatives as evidence of this. Ed and Oli's critiques are clearly tongue-in-cheek, but they do raise some valid points. Oppenheimer's new car is certainly a statement piece, and it's fair to question whether it's really necessary for a scientist who is supposed to be dedicated to his work. And Sunak's decision to cut funding for public health initiatives is certainly a questionable one, given the current state of the UK's air quality. Overall, Ed and Oli's blokecore rant is a bit of fun, but it also raises some important issues. It's a reminder that even the most serious scientists and politicians can sometimes be tempted by the allure of the brum brum box. And it's a reminder that we need to be vigilant in protecting our lung health, even in the face of government cuts. Here are some additional thoughts on the matter: It's interesting to note that Ed and Oli's critiques are focused on the men in these scenarios, rather than the women. This suggests that they may be operating under the assumption that men are more interested in cars and less interested in public health than women. It's also worth noting that Ed and Oli's critiques are based on their own personal values and beliefs. They may not be representative of the views of everyone who listens to the Pubcast. Ultimately, Ed and Oli's blokecore rant is just that - a rant. It's not meant to be taken too seriously. But it does raise some interesting points about the role of cars in our society and the importance of protecting our lung health.
    10
  609. First off, I love the harlequin. When I visit London, I stay in Islington. Eat a pizza at three John's, have some beers, then walk down to the harlequin. Repeat as needed daily. Besides that, Delaney's strength and candidness is astounding and inspiring. Sadly, his story is NOT. UNIQUE. AT. ALL. But he carries a large megaphone and is giving a voice the millions of bereaved parents across the world. I don't know Rob, but I love Rob.
    10
  610. Boris on the dart board
    10
  611. Haven't enjoyed an interview this much in a long time, they have to be the most relatable people in the country. Enough is Enough.
    10
  612. Their bias is sort of unclear, no fact-checkers or bias checkers seem to have covered them but they seem to be quite accurate with a left bias. They interview a lot of people, so it isnt really their opinion a lot of the time.
    10
  613. Excellent interview, well done Politics Joe for the inclusivity shown to us gingers.
    10
  614. Another great episode - That whole section on Man City/ Newcastle was compelling!
    10
  615. Best one so far, less politics and more stories of Ed's phobia's and Ava's friends who get footballers
    9
  616. What a fantastic interview Joe …. Really insightful to hear what Mr. Yelland had to say.
    9
  617. Rooney is an embarrassing appointment, we demand a full podcast on this
    9
  618. Absolutely love the PubCast - 3 thoughtful, likeable, funny people who have great chemistry commenting on the s**tshow that is British politics - pure chef's kiss, keep up the great work and I would encourage all to watch, regardless of political persuasion.
    9
  619. I enjoy your videos, thanks.
    9
  620. Great interview and its great to hear him answer questions honestly and precise and make sense .
    9
  621. Luxuriant Bush over Oli's right shoulder.
    9
  622. Well done joe, these two gents are gonna hopefully turn a load more workin people onto recognising their value n power.
    9
  623. Great review and good to know that Ian has a stock of shaving foam.
    9
  624. Great conversation interviewing at its best.
    9
  625. Curtis is a marvellous journalist and this was a fascinating interview
    9
  626. Great work guys. I watched the 1st episode of the new series, but really glad to hear Adam talking about the overall concept.
    9
  627. Yes he needs to rest
    9
  628. Good to see Alastair Campbell’s son doing so well
    8
  629. No offence, Ava, but anyone who actively liked maths at school is a psychopath. Them's the rules.
    8
  630. I am become podcast, hater of nonces
    8
  631. There’s a few other very nasty and ugly things you missed off here!
    8
  632. Hi. Long time viewer, lover of the pod & hater of noncers 😊. I'm slightly hearing impaired, and the way the microphone sits it covers your mouth, which makes it harder to understand what you're saying. Any chance u could adjust the position of the mics so we can see you speak? Thanks a mil, Mark.
    8
  633. Greatest podcast intro ever 😂

  634. "what is politics if not cheesecake, sex and rage" -Oli Dugmore, 2023
    8
  635. With invincible respect. I disagree.
    8
  636. Man Politics Joe youtube is popping off. I’m pretty sure I remember it being way under 100,000 subs a few months ago
    8
  637. I'm really glad this channel exists, great content.
    8
  638. Great interviewing. Thanks lots.
    8
  639. Very good. Thanks for such an informative film.
    8
  640. Extremely interesting. Thank you. ❤️🖤🚩🏴
    8
  641. Only two minutes in and I can't stop staring at Yas Kensington.
    8
  642. hilarious and well considered as always ! great stuff
    8
  643. Really appreciate your measured discussion about specific and general aspects of this mess. Including Oli's self-reflection about The S*n and the calm difference of opinion at the end with Ava. Kept nodding like the Churchill dog 🤠💜
    8
  644. Great documentary. Thank you so much. I also have been thinking about something: Scotland's churches are empty. They used to be the places to find community, fellowship, charity, meaning, and purpose. No surprise that when religious houses of worship close their doors, mental health worsens.
    8
  645. Best podcasts 🙌🏻 keep it going ❤️
    7
  646. What an incredibly intelligent conversation between two intellectually sound individuals. Thank you.
    7
  647. I fucking love this podcast and your work rate is very much appreciated. Thank you guys
    7
  648. Olly quoting the cheems mindset from britmonkey was a highlight
    7
  649. This was good but I need more. Is this gonna be weekly because 35 mins is not enough for me?
    7
  650. Brilliant, honest interview. This channel keeps getting better and better.
    7
  651. First comment, even tho nobody cares
    7
  652. "Yes, my backpack is filled with hammers 🔨" Incredible interview
    7
  653. Great documentary!
    7
  654. Likewise but I preferred the structure of this interview tbh
    7
  655. Man this channel is so good...!
    7
  656. Bravo Joe, bises de France big up amis anglais :goodvibes:
    7
  657. JOE, I have to say, thanks so much for helping to get the message out there! There's no mention of these remarkable speeches, gatherings & marches anywhere on legacy media, as far as I can tell; you're doing a sterling bang-up job; keep it up! 👍✊✊
    6
  658. Hogging all the bubbles might be my favorite quote of all time
    6
  659. You guys are fucking heros, and you hired a Scot. Mon then \o/
    6
  660. I'm 24 minutes into absolute drivel and I've just been called a simp. I think I might now just be in sunk-cost territory.
    6
  661. I watched this. Good job 👏 you
    6
  662. Liking the format
    6
  663. Such a great interview - thank you! Big fan of Ian.
    6
  664. Oli is a blue nose. Didn’t think he could be more stand up a guy. Banging shirt as well 💙
    6
  665. This interview was incredibly interesting and explained things better than I have ever heard before - thank you.
    6
  666. Oli, every opening. Absolutely bringing it. Top notch.
    6
  667. Two people sitting down and not crying about eachothers different views is so refreshing
    6
  668. Brilliant
    6
  669. Great interview, loved listening to Rory’s history of argument on BBC Radio 4/5. Hopefully he’ll return to frontbench politics soon!! Very well informed and intelligent interviewer too
    6
  670. Happy Birthday Laura 🎉
    6
  671. What a brilliant interviewer Ollie Dugmore is.
    6
  672. Nobody outside Twitter (and now, YouTube) knows who Thelma Walker is or who the NIP is. She's got about as much chance of winning this by-election as I have of sticking to going on 3 runs a week.
    6
  673. Care package secured :):) x
    6
  674. If you two start a band can you please call it "sausage alignment"
    6
  675. Fantastic interview. Both sides engaged and interested
    6
  676. Great short doc - Politics JOE team smashing it lately!
    6
  677. Watch more cringe protesters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYi4fkmyIP4
    6
  678. PoliticsJoe, can you do a video on CBDC (central bank digital currency) as Fishi Rishi mentioned it could happen? like what's gonna happen, can I still go cash, what if I don't want to? thank you
    6
  679. I love that Ed's caption now just says "Politics JOE's Golden Boy"
    6
  680. This episode was absolutely insane and I am here for it! You were all on such top form as complete chaos merchants. Also love hearing the crew laughing in the background, it genuinely adds to the hilarity
    6
  681. "We can buy cheaper from outside Europe," say Brexisters. That may be so, but we need to sell to someone. We have just trown away half of our potential customers.
    6
  682. Love them, even my conservative family are halfway to being converted lol.
    5
  683. Happy 300K
    5
  684. Really good journalism
    5
  685. love this interview.
    5
  686. Great video
    5
  687. Very interesting interview, thanks a lot
    5
  688. 100th episode you should get a crab from the fishmonger and keep it as a pet, there's a channel called Leon the Lobster where this guy did the same with a Lobster. They're probs quite low maintenance I think you could manage, crab might be good for morale etc.
    5
  689. Love podcasts hate nonces
    5
  690. Quite weird to have a thoughtful and detailed interview standing in the street.
    5
  691. That was absolute politics Joe lunacy 😂😂😂
    5
  692. You should do a spin off podcast about politics
    5
  693. Great chat.
    5
  694. DONT BANG THE TABLE There’s a bass thump EVERY time one of you hit the table. Unlistenable on headphones. My ears are like the traditional family… UNDER ATTACK
    5
  695. Fast forward two years. The Pubcast is still a weekly fixture, but it's now 6 hours long. The first hour is just pyrotechnics culminating in the traditional burning of the Wicker Saville, then intros for two and a half hours, then everyone gets to cut a sick promo, and if there's any time left after that maybe we can talk politics?
    5
  696. This is the content I signed up for 10/10😂
    5
  697. This is in danger of taking over from ‘Oh God, What Now?’ as my favourite podcast.
    5

  700. How come I have never seen or heard from you before Ian? I think you are funny enough to be on tele-visuals and YouTube regularly. Hope to see you there. What I would like to know is do you, and/or the people of UK really see the nation's culture being trampled away, to soon be gone except for the history books?

  701. Probably the most important economic interview this decade.

  704. Loved the podcast guys great stuff. Thought it was weird when Ed said that we needed more racist and mentally ill personalities on TV. It was also a little odd when he said the history of slavery was equal to Rory Stewart's podcast. It was also strange when he said he likes to use his twitter alts to harass come dine with me contestants. Even Ava "2 gap yahhs" Santina tried to get him to rollback his comments. Who will stop Edward Campbell?

  723. Novara doesn't quite do these sorts of informal chatter episodes, do they? In any case, you're writing about "better takes" on a video that's probably 60% fish-related talk.

  727. 5:07 Cory Doctorow’s article about “enshittification” [platform decay] in the Financial Times is well worth a read. (The concept has been around for over a year—Doctorow first wrote about it on his blog, later republished in Wired, concerning TikTok in January, 2023.)

  764. 41:06 cavolo nero Italian kale A loose-leafed cabbage from Tuscany, Italy. The leaves are a very dark green, almost black, hence its name, which translates as 'black cabbage'. It has a pleasantly tangy, bitter flavour, with a sweet aftertaste.

  765. Why is it called the pub cast when it’s clearly not in a pub and no one is even drinking beer? Other than that, enjoyed this, keep up the good work

  769. We’ve been under a stay at home order now for a few weeks and while most of us are following the rules and doing our best to stop the spread of this disease the grousing, complaining and anger is starting to rise. Some of it is mere questioning but some is political and a growing segment of it is hateful. The gist of it is that people want their lives and livelihoods back. They want their freedom restored. I think we can all understand that even if we disagree with how that frustration manifests itself. It seems to me that one of the basic problems is that all of us are unaccustomed to suffering and sacrifice. While during our lives (I’m a Baby Boomer born in 1953) we may have experienced some national tragedies, some economic downturns, some war and some terrorism, we haven’t truly had to sacrifice or suffer at the same level as my parents. My father was born in 1913 and my Mom in 1918, both members of what has become known as the “Greatest Generation.” While they were too young to remember the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-19 they were raised by parents who lived through it. 500 million people, one third of the world’s population became infected. 50 million people died worldwide with 675,000 of those in the U.S. Simultaneously with this horror came World War One. Eleven million military personnel died and another 11 million civilians, many from starvation and disease. The total injured and dead exceeded 40 million. When the war ended, the Roaring Twenties began in earnest as the country tried to rebuild. The stock market boomed and despite Prohibition the liquor flowed all to the tune of hot music and the Charleston. The fun was short-lived, however, as banks were uninsured at the time and many of the securities had been purchased on margin and the owners didn’t have the actual cash on hand to pay. In 1927, my Dad, 14 years old and the oldest of six children lost his father to Pneumonia and he and his oldest brother went to work to support their mother and siblings. In 1929 the stock market crashed and the world was thrown into a ten year economic tailspin known as the Great Depression. If you had money in the bank it was likely gone and the doors of half of the nation’s banks were shut. 25% of the country lost their jobs, not for a month or two but for years to come. African Americans were hit harder than anyone with unemployment at fifty percent. International trade collapsed by 65%. The era was dominated by people waiting in line for free bread, homeless “hobos” hopping trains looking for work, entire families walking from the dust bowl stricken states like Oklahoma all the way to California hoping to find work picking fruit or vegetables. President Herbert Hoover bore much of the blame as thousands who became homeless lived in tents and shacks known as Hoovervilles. My Dad left home at 16 and worked at every conceivable job sending his wages home to his mother for the next 9 years. My Mom, also from a family of six children with no father at home, worked with her mother in a shoe factory. In 1932, a new President, Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected with his promise of a plan to save the country from its despair. As the nation slowly began to pull out of this morass, we were attacked by the Japanese in 1941 and plunged headlong into World War II. As millions of men left home to fight the war, my Dad included, most of the women stayed behind to take over the industrial jobs formerly handled by men. Besides my Dad, his brother and my Mom’s two brothers were all overseas in the military. My mother, with an infant, worked in a factory making bullets. Gasoline, meat, flour and sugar were all rationed and could only be purchased with coupons doled out by the government each month. There were no appliances or cars available as all manufacturing went to the war effort. My Mom took my sister to a movie as many nights as she could afford just to escape the stifling St. Louis heat in the air conditioned theatre. There was no television, much less Netflix or Hulu. A letter from my Dad would take more than two weeks to arrive. A telephone call was out of the question. Ultimately the war took 75 million lives about 20 million of which were military personnel. Of the remaining dead, millions were lost to genocide, mass bombings, massacres, disease and starvation including over six million Jews executed in concentration camps. And along the way came the scourge of polio, crippling millions of young people around the world. When the War ended, the country, and my parents, went to work. But not in St. Louis where they had lived, as my Mom’s war job was terminated and my Dad’s pre-war job was gone. They didn’t get a stimulus check. Instead, they packed all of their belongings into their only car, a 1938 model, and drove to Michigan where the work of rebuilding the country was beginning in earnest. And work they did, for the next 46 years. No complaints. No whining. No protesting. Just work....to build their own house, to buy two cars (used) and put their children through college. So yes...I understand the frustration and the uncertainty of our present situation. But compared to the world of suffering and sacrifice that my parents survived, this is the minor leagues. Let’s all get over ourselves and follow the rules. We are going to beat this thing. But unless you’ve contracted Covid-19 or lost a loved one to the virus, this is not real suffering. Yes there is some inconvenience and disruption but it’s not unendurable nor will it be with us for a decade. I think we can all wait another month or so to get back to our favorite restaurant and baseball stadium. Thanks for listening. I’m praying for all of us during this time. I have to go now, time to get out of these sweat pants, shower, dress and make a Gin & Tonic...it’s almost time for Family Feud. . The Greatest Generation.

  772. The egg sandwich was a nice touch.

  773. Great chat but I think what the conversation lacks is a consideration of how we teach. If I were to make a subject compulsory it would be music. To understand music is to understand math. Every child should be taught how to build and play a musical instrument. That is a realistic goal... just to declare my bias I studied audio electronics.

  780. Ugh why not create a pastiche of an outdated UK style broadcast rather than a US style infomercial which only exists to UK viewers as pastiche? Poorly executed. You should get some folks with actual ideas to put this stuff together.

  807. This was a great conversation. However, I disagree with the idea that the maths thing is coming from his entitled position as a city banker. For me, Sunak sees himself as good at maths and money as the most important thing going, hence we need more maths. However, I, as well as everyone else I've spoken to/seen online (including your good selves) don't seem concerned with a lack of maths in society, more so a lack of ethics. Yet somehow I don't see the Tories advocating for everyone to study ethics until they're 18.
