Down Terrible (for Saudi Arabia)

This week, in the midst of Riley and Milo being struck with covid, we recorded an all-remote episode to discuss some recent Britain news, with a special emphasis on recent leaked texts from Daniel Kawczynski MP in which he's begging for a Saudi consultancy role in order to pay private school fees. There are a lot of other points covered in this episode but this part really captures something ineffably British. Hope you enjoy!

Milo screeching about Keir is my internal monologue as I wait for my COVID test to see if I can go home for Christmas for the first time in 2 years and watch the Dems predictably shit the bed.

Holy shit I actually know someone who went to Downside, was exactly as posh as you would think and also deeply cursed as a person

Kawczynski is my MP and something that is so essential to understand the man is that if you ever see him in town he is always alone, and permanently the SADDEST looking mf, and it is my only consistent source of joy these days

Texting someone like "hello I need an important job because I need a lot of money" is such a child's idea of what the business world is that it's kind of cute.

Ms. Caldwell-Kelly, I believe you were thinking of Dennis Kucinich. (At the risk of dating myself.)
