008: New Cabinet Carnage, Bonfire of Rights and “Specific & Limited” Tory Dystopia

008: New Cabinet Carnage, Bonfire of Rights and “Specific & Limited” Tory Dystopia

By Jemma Forte & Marina Purkiss

This week’s trawl includes the world’s best booking on a politics show, Twitter’s thoughts on the UK’s new PM, breakfast telly lunacy and more besides.

There’s a breakdown of the new cabinet with singing from Jemma whilst Marina gives listeners an illuminating explanation of fracking (can you guess how many of the 20k wells we need have been built?).

In a dark week, there are a few shin kicks for right-wing commentator Mike Parry, discussion of the various names of Grant Shapps, and our political pair ponder Laura Kuenssberg’s ‘reporting’ of statements from ‘unnamed government sources’.
