What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

EP 19 - Unilateral Coalitions & 'Self-Partnering'

I catch up on a spectacularly bad start to election campaigning by all the main parties. From Jacob's Grenfell gaffe to the Lib Dem's painfully bad social media, we give out gold stars to all the idiots. We also discuss Emma Watson trying to redefine being single as being 'self-partnered'. I then admit my pathological issues with dressing gowns before we head into the letters, where we look at the rights and wrongs of the self-identifying female cricketer and the all important hypothetical political punch-up: this weeks it's Rees-Mogg Vs Oliver Letwin.

In an overwhelmingly Lefty comedic landscape, right-leaning stand-up Geoff Norcott is a rare beast. In WMPT he gets to the heart of what ordinary people think about social and political issues. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt, but without being a dick. Mostly. Guests come from across the social and political divide, including, Romesh Ranganathan, Jonathan Pie, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more. Geoff has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Backstage with Katherine Ryan, Would I lie to You? Have I Got News For You? The Last Leg, Mash Report, Question Time, Mock the Week and pops up frequently on UK political debate programmes. Geoff's book 'Where Did I Go Right?' came out in 2021 and top the political comedy best-seller list on multiple occasions. Geoff also won an operational medal for his five tours performing to British troops in Afghanistan. "One of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe." - Sunday Times "A Right laugh." - The Guardian*
