So, we got owned. Labour got wiped out in the election, and now begins a sombre and introspective season 2 of Trashfuture in which we discuss where to go from here. Please listen to the solemn voices of Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts) and Alice @AliceAvizandum as we commiserate and try to laugh as much as humanly possible. Thank you all so much to those of you who helped campaign and fight it out.

Content warning: at around 1:10:00, Nate discusses a traumatic experience he had in combat years ago, which doesn’t make for particularly light listening. We just want to make sure you’re not caught unawares if you’d rather avoid hearing it.
It’s election day! Please, please, please go vote Labour and help us end this nightmare! Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts) and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) discuss the upcoming vote, some stupid articles, and a vision of things being better.

In a preview of this week's bonus episode, we speak to David Adler of DiEM25 about what Remain and Revolt would actually mean -- and why the EU's labyrinthine politics is intentionally boring. We also discuss some great pre-election post-mortem columns, a thing that makes sense. You'll love it!

It keeps getting dumber as we get closer and closer to election day! Boris Johnson threatened to pull Channel 4’s licence because they embarrassed him, the Lib Dems are plunging in the polls, and a recent terror attack on London Bridge in turn resulted in Boris going cartoon movie fash. This week, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Alice @AliceAvizandum join special guest Josie Long (@JosieLong) for a roundup of all the very normal goings-on.

Welcome to Part 1 of TF Presents: Manifesto Madness. This week, we're looking at the absolutely realistic promises the Lib Dems are making, should they come into office.
We're joined in studio by special guest and returning friend of the show Mollie Goodfellow (@hansmollman) on the topic of the Lib Dems' manifesto. Mollie joins Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) to discuss Jo Swinson's plan to build an exciting liberal world with the power of markets and STEM education, so she can nuke it.
Join us for our bonus episode about the Tory manifesto on Thursday!

Comedian Nish Kumar joins the gang to read from Boris Johnson's strange 2004 taut action comedy racist sex novel 72 Virgins for the third and final time. It is genuinely unbelievable that this guy is Prime Minister, not just because of all the outrageous things he says or implies about everyone who isn't an Eton educated white guy, but also because he's just so... incompetent as a communicator. Mostly it reveals more about him, his contempt for you and me, and his extreme internalised guilt about voting for the Iraq War.
If you can vote in Britain and you do not want the man that wrote this book to be your Prime Minister, then you must do the following things:

It’s Parts 1 and 2 of our journey through Boris Johnson's terrible novel, 72 Virgins. Or as we're calling it, Boris Gear Solid: Tactical Racism Action.
In Part 1, which we recorded live at Cambridge, we are introduced to our characters of the Boris Johnson Extended Universe. Meet such characters as Definitely Not Boris Johnson, Horny African Parking Attendant, Unnecessary Shoehorned In Classics Reference, and Woman.
Bad writing often reveals more about the author than they intend, and this is precisely what we explored a few months later in Part 2 with our friend from Australia, Aidan ‘Taco’ Jones. In his writing, and with what he thinks is funny, what does Boris accidentally reveal about the way he believes the world works? What does he think of ordinary people? How is he so horny for all of his characters, and yet so deeply sexless?
