Doing Politics Differently (with Phil Wang and Pierre Novellie)

With Armando still under the weather we take a look at the language of doing politics differently, and the language of politicians who like to do it the same way as ever.

This week, Phil Wang steps in for Armando, and is joined by comedian Pierre Novellie to discuss 'doing politics differently'.

Digging into the language of Burnham's speech, we examine what he means by 'place', and whether we will see an end to 'punch and judy politics'.

Elsewhere, we look at Badenoch's attack mode, America's 250th celebrations and why politicians struggle to p-p-p-pick a favourite biscuit.

Stay tuned to the end to hear from Armando, and find out what they 'Putin' the chicken over in Georgia.
