In this episode, Steve and Cory look back on the Resolutions that we set the main political parties in January. How far have the parties met the arbitrary standards which we set them?

Features more explaining of metaphors and wine pouring than most of our episodes.

In this episode, Steve and Cory discuss the revelatons about Cambridge Analytica which have broken over the past week. Is what they are doing actually that radical or important? Did they swing the election for Trump? And how do we address the fact that Facebook has so much of our data?

In our very first episode, we talked about whether referendums were a good policy-making tool. Two years and one hundred episodes later, we return to the issue and discuss the idea of many Remain campaigners that there should be a second referendum on Brexit. This seems to be the main idea to stop Britain from leaving the EU - but is this a good idea?

The allegations that Jeremy Corbyn was a Czech secret agent were demonstrably false and only backed up by one dodgy source. So why were they pushed by the media and senior Conservatives for so long? We dissect what the row, and Corbyn's response, tells us about British Politics.

After a brief holiday Not Enough Champagne is back, and talking about the issues most political podcasts don't have the guts to discuss. Like buses.

In this episode, we discuss why Britain has had so many directionless governments over the past 25 years. Are there any parallels between Theresa May's administration and those of Gordon Brown and John Major? If so, what do they tell us about the future of British Politics?

In this episode, Steve and Cory discuss Devil's Bargain, Joshua Green's book about Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, 2016 and all that. We talk about how World of Warcraft made Donald Trump Presdent, how he could have run as a different type of Republican (ie not a racist) and the bullshit factory that is Breitbart news.
***Minor correction: In the intro we say that Bannon called Trump Jr's meeting with the Russians treasonous, evil and wrong. He didn't say it was evil, but did call it unpatriotic.***
Also, this was recorded a couple of weeks ago, which in Trump terms is about 43 years. So there's no references to the government shut down or Trump's remarks about various African countries.
