Not Enough Champagne

Come for the political analysis, stay for the bad jokes and wrong predictions. Not Enough Champagne is run by Steve Haynes, who in a previous life was a Parliamentary Candidate for the Liberal Democrats, and Cory Hazlehurst, a Labour activist who has written about politics for the New Statesman. We try to work out what the hell is going on with British Politics and take a step back to shed new light on issues most news outlets don't talk about.

Steve and Cory discuss the fallout from England's defeat to Italy in the European Championship final. Have we got a notion for a more inclusive form of Patriotism, should social media posters be forced to reveal their identity (spoilers - probably not) and what does the future hold for England's new generation of Tiktok footballers?
