Daniel talks about some recent stories, including the even sillier (and nastier) stuff behind that silly clip of Tucker Carlson saying algebra is fake, and the recent Kirkaversary.
Jack presents a report on This Month in UK Fascism, surveying the recent issues surrounding Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the Dover 'protests', a small village's declaration of independence, and what links them all up.
