BURNHAM POSTURES, POSTPONES AND PREENS - Feat. Dom Frisby
Summary
Geoff Norcott and Dominic Frisbee discuss the Labour conference, criticizing Andy Burnham's new housing scheme as a dangerous subsidy for housebuilders that risks leaving buyers in negative equity. They also debate the government's social care funding strategy, the controversial pharma campaign labeling obesity a disease, and the impact of declining testosterone on men's mental health. The episode touches on the Ireland-Israel football controversy, the absurdity of online victim-blaming, and the poor quality of edited song lyrics.
