Musk in the dock for his out control Grok? Where’s the freedom of speech in an obscene image? The Telegraph have Milliband in their headline crosshairs again - and damn him when he does as well as when he doesn’t.  Beavers are on their way to East Sussex.  While new diet advice from the USA is far from bad.  Sugar is the enemy according to Robert F (for f--kwit) Kennedy.  Reform can’t sweeten themselves, one scandal after another, one distasteful defection after another and bombing in the polls….. their new candidate for London Mayor makes a major speech about how lawless London is - days before new stats show it’s the safest in a decade - out of touch or just gaslighting us…?  Favourite though has to be immigration, the fixation of the right (like Brexit before it) - as we approach net zero migration, a new study says we’ll all pay more tax as a result.

Piracy, hijacking, murder and kidnapping - that’s just from our ‘closest ally’ - the USA.   Hypocrisy on steroids from the West, Europe lost for words.  Who will or can stop Trump - with Greenland is in his sights.  Meanwhile NASA’s new radar finds a lost city, under the ice….of Greenland.  We bank a record year for green energy, Octopus banks a bad one and plays a bad game. Britain’s EV revolution powers on - the end of Diesel is in sight….China overtakes Musk. And Dale shows illuminates the fake ‘battle' between food and energy in the countryside.  The numbers give the lie to this right wing argument. Welcome to 2026..:)

Climate refugees. The Animal (whatever Act) and the beginning of the end for factory farming. Reform, Farage dogging (the hunting ban). Cornwall’s octopi bloom. The London Stock Exchange with June Sarpong - Bondi Beach fallout, Winter Solstice, White Christmas dreams, Nuclear Energy and the Romans, and different view of Crimbo.  It’s not Ed or Labour wot did it - the greenest xmas on the grid ever.

Energy bills, electric car bans, banks behaving badly, and the climate crisis - have we lived through it before? The Swiss Army Beaver, Netanyahu and anti-semitism, Dale in the eye of the storm.  And June Sarpong.  Eclectic and electric.  Data centres, Universities and dead end jobs - and the DNA of Polar Bears.

Election fraud, Farage, turkey gobbling, Xmas jumpers. Eurovision, Israel and Palestine.  The global green economy, heat pumps, Miliband, electric cars, Sizewell.  The budget, wind energy and batteries - what impact breaking the link has on incentive to build - and beavers.  Ecotalk shines in the Times.  White Storks in London and re-wilding the wildlife crisis - one meal at a time.  Choose what you chews - more wisely.

Gaza Cola, Mobiles in a bucket and blackouts in London.  The return of Johnson, the burning ban, Ecotalk on fire, beavers incoming - and the mad water cost of fighting the climate crisis (the big oil way). The energy bill hokey cokey, burger facts to chew on and (pls) let us eat grass.

And so much more, the ClusterMusk enters the lexicon, Dale and Reform agree about something, it’s worth a billion a year….the budget lands, COP30 resonates (is it a death rattle?) - and Babelfish…..hits the streets of London, first edition - Truth about Power.  In surprising news, British Gas supports a wealth tax - we ask does Octopus.  Ultra Processed Food is a big problem (with or without the cow).  And the Germans are coming for our sausages.

The Millionaire roadshow, FGR go top of the league Ma and Dale fact checks himself. Is China our secret climate weapon? Will COP 30 deliver anything? And a new defence for eco protestors - from the Government?  Along with Cola from Gaza, the slow motion train crash of Reform and a listener question to which Dale says - Monday.

Ethical consumers, standing up for Palestine, no money for the Amazon, COP 30 - what is it good for.? The world’s biggest hypocrite and king of fake news - and a near miss in Aldershot. We crunch the numbers for a fabulous listener question - and the stats that show why climate denial should be illegal.

This week - from vegan sea gulls to stunning football - the new study that destroys the fairy tales of Farage, Badenoch and even Octopus….The exit tax that gives a budget clue, poisonous tap water and what did privatisation ever do for us? Musk descends deeper into his hole …. and Reform’s promises evaporate on contact.  An awesome listener observation - a tale of two bacons in the Guardian ….and Dale fact checks himself - with FFS.

This week we got Piers Morgan, reborn as a woke person - Tony Blair, reborn as a green eyed monster and Reform - just being themselves.  Dale wins a pair of legal judgements, putting Reform’s Tice back in the dock along with the Daily Mail and a pre-internet media law (sounds like an oxymoron).  Supervillain oil and gas company Shell are in hot water for making typhoons… Ban the Bacon gathers pace and our listeners get down to it - with Zac P and grass questions.

Dale joins Chris Packham and Feargal Sharkey in a protest. Reform perform for us all. An Israeli football club pulls a Prince Andrew… Octopus shows us it can count (beyond 8) and Ed gives the game away… fabulous woolly question from a fan and an X-rated ban.

The Wealth Tax cometh, the Paris target is behind us - we go all ‘Cow in the Room’ with the Red Tractor in the dock, escaped salmon in the Loch and new life in concrete blocks. Dale pumps the Trump and our listeners tell us how the Dutch do it. Over on X-rated corner the diss attempts fall flat as Dale put’s 'em straight - ain’t no bad thing being called a girl.

This week - The invisible conference, King Coal dethroned and the green energy Six Pointer. Uncle Sam’s Fat Beardo problem and Blair’s new war zone gig. Farage makes Dale an offer - while members plan green energy investment. We ask, is Octopus the new mouthpiece of the right and this Jenrick bloke - litter picking in Brum? We find sanity in our listener questions….and fun in X Rated corner. Oh and we tease next week….Terrorists v freedom fighters

The Giga Poll launches at an Endurance event - it's what Britain really thinks. Along with social media fun on a ladder - the green economy in one minute and Dale’s view on Keir’s speech – oh, and why the public is pissed off.  A cup of tea with Margaret Thatcher stuns the Daily Telegraph... and Full Metal Ed ends it all with a bang. Meanwhile - Palestine is a country... who knew – Dale recounts the event, heckles Jezza who has a snappy comeback and leaves in tears. Ian shares the etymology of Tosspot, while we explore a suitable collective noun for our new diss term ‘Musk’ - VAT, Ecotalk, Zack Polanski and Trump are the icing on the cake on the nutty fruit cake…..this one is chock full….
