Plus Noel Edmonds and wife released lobsters into the sea in the Isle of Wight, why please?

Plus an especially excellent headline for our Patreon listeners.

'I'd vote for anything if I was drunk!' It's a fair statement from Producer Becky but perhaps not one you'd want to be related to the issue of MPs voting on laws that affect real people.

An investigation into the drinking culture of MPs whilst on the job leaves Cody and Becky wondering why the f*** MPs are allowed to drink on the bloody job if literally no one else is! We learn that Charli XCX's new album Music, Fashion, Film could actually hold some secret code for failure fearing millenials. Plus commentmaxxers continue to bring the goods, with an excellent story about Clicky Ponting - a cricket scandal that's rocked the cricketing world.

Comedian Kemah Bob is our correspondent this week, bringing the story of blatant and targeted racism by a literal neo-nazi in a powerlifting competition. But will there be consequences? She also revisited a headline that whilst not currently in the news cycle, is a difficult one for Kemah to forget now she's been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain. Will Nigel Farage's Reform actually strip people of their right to remain if they get into No.10? And can rats really drive and more importantly, do they actually love it?

Plus an especially excellent headline for our Patreon listeners.

Kemah's show Love Child is on at 18:50PM Upstairs at the Pleasance Courtyard at the Edinburgh Fringe, get your tickets here: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/kemah-bob-love-child

'If AI is here, at least let it do some nice things!' It's a difficult statement and one that Cody and producer Becky try and get to the bottom of in this episode.

The number of data centres in the UK is increasing, with the threat of some being built in some beautiful rural areas like Devon. But what would this actually mean for the local environments and how do we make companies responsible for their own sustainability? Plus a story that could shine a positive light on what is predominantly a grey cloud - AI. Did it really manage to reunite a family?
