Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 94.
This week Nick and Toby talk about:
- The final week of the General Election campaign, in which Nigel Farage lost a step and Rishi Sunak finally brought his A game
- Whether to believe the eve-of-election MRP polls showing the Conservatives neck-and-neck with the Lib Dems on around 60 seats
- If the actor in Channel 4’s ‘exposé’ of Reform in Clacton was a genuine activist or a paid shill
- Kemi Badenoch’s spat with David Tennant and whether she was playing the race card when she said it was a bad look for a rich white guy to criticise the only black woman in the Cabinet
- And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes:
- A rant against the two Garys – Gary Neville and Gary Lineker
- Marine Le Pen giving Emmanuel Macron a bloody nose in the French parliamentary elections
- The US Presidential election debate and the terrible price Biden’s team have paid for pretending the attacks on Biden for being too old to do the job were just ‘misinformation’
- Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, which this week has a clear winner – the Glastonbury Festival-goers who passed around Banksy’s inflatable dinghy, complete with inflatable migrants
- And in the Based Department, the guy who won $175,000 in compensation from the police after he was arrested for giving an officer the finger and… tractors!
