In a week where:

  1. Kier Starmer reveals plans to send refused asylum seekers to overseas ‘return hubs’.
  2. Crystal Palace win their 1st major trophy, beating Man City 1-0 in the FA Cup Final.
  3. An estimated 600,000 people march in London, calling on the UK government to end its complicity in Gaza Genocide.
  4. A Mexican Navy ship crashes into Brooklyn Bridge.
  5. Joe Biden is diagnosed with ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer.

In the first of two Politics segments: (8:52) My first of two articles where I spend half the show shitting on Kier Starmer and his grim capitulation to far-right ideals, starting with a more overall look at the near 12 months of his premiership (Article By Peter Oborne)

In the 2nd Politics segment: (23:35) A more focused look at the recent Immigration policy the Red Tories are looking to implement. (Article By Alexandra Hall Hall)

In Music: (40:09) Ever since I started hitting music shows nearly a decade ago, I have always valued smaller, more intimate shows over the large-scale arena show. Now, even Americans are seeing the deadness that arena/stadium shows bring. (Article By Kyndall Cunningham)

Lastly, In Film: (55:37) A new instalment of Final Destination has dropped, evoking fun memories of my favourite Horror franchise and how it feels more like an accidental comedy with its sheer creativity of killing characters. (Article By Hanna Flint)
