I Wasn't Even Listening (with Natalie Haynes)

Back after the summer break, we're looking back over some of the highlights of the summer, and if 'not listening' is a strong political defence.

Armando is back from a summer break to look at the use and abuse of political language.

Joined by friend of the show, Natalie Haynes, they mournfully fell the Keir Starmer Metaphor tree, and find a suitable replacement for the Andy Burnham era.

Elsewhere, they discuss the undercover operation on Reform, and the language of the fallout, 'perv glasses' and a corbyn-eqsue 'Strong Message Here' for the modern era.
