97. Rishi vs Keir - the first debate!

Listen on

Episode notes

Harriet and Producer Martin moderate a debate between Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Leader of the Labour Party Sir Keir Starmer, probing them on the key issues in this election, such as Diane Abbott, and whether they'd start a nuclear war. We also have comedian and resident diversity correspondent Eshaan Akbar on hand to lighten the mood with some 'lighter' questions that might show us the fun side of the candidates and also pop off on socials like The News Agents clips do.

We have a live show coming up on Thursday the 20th June at the Museum of Comedy, we would love to see you there: tickets. There'll be Lee Anderson, Penny Mordaunt, and MP Rosie Holt will be signing copies of her new book, which is published that day.

Thanks to HN who signed up to support us at patreon.com/NonCensored this week. If you would like to support the show too, you'll get the full interviews in video, a monthly bonus "time for questions" podcast, and a weekly behind-the-scenes podcast except not this week because we've done things a bit differently. You can also keep your questions coming to the team by emailing [email protected]. And we'll refund a month's subscription for any Patreon who buys a ticket to the live show!

Thanks to Rosie Holt (@RosieisaHolt), Brendan Murphy (@notmurphy), Eshaan Akbar (@eshaanakbar),  Rajiv Karia (@rajivakaria), Joz Norris (@joznorris) and Ed Morris.

Tickets for Rosie's show, That's Politainment!, are available here.

Brendan is taking his show, Buffy ReVamped to the Edinburgh Fringe, and tickets are available now.

Eshaan has a stand-up special, The Pretender, available to watch for free on YouTube, and he is going on tour next year with his show Yum.

You can see clips of Rajiv doing stand up on his Instagram account, and then you should probably go and see him live.

Joz is taking a work-in-progress show, You Wait. Time Passes, to the Edinburgh Fringe, and tickets are available here.

Ed also produces Sound Heap with John-Luke Roberts, an excellent podcast that's now available on Maximum Fun.
