Happy New Year - is 2025 going to be the year of disinformation? Elon Musk started in attack mode with a flood of vitriolic and false tweets about UK grooming gangs. In Musk’s crosshairs: Keir Starmer and safeguarding minister Jess Phillips. He accused them both of cover ups. Can Nish and Coco survive a year of Musk madness - the man who already makes Nish want to “eat his own anus”? We’re joined by political journalist Zoë Grünewald to discuss how to fight the disinformation invasion and what else might be in store in 2025 - from Reform eating the Tories to Labour delivering some much-needed change. And just when we thought we were done with billionaire BS - Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta is scrapping its fact-checking service and Andrew Tate launched a new political party. And poor Nish is under fire from GB News for “unnecessary political swipes”on the BBC. A word to GB News - unnecessary political swipes is what Nish does! Brace yourselves - it’s a wild first show back. Guests: Zoë Grünewald Audio credits: The GuardianBBC Sky NewsMark Zuckerberg Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.

And I'm Nish Kumar, and we're back. What the hell was that?
My air horn sound.
It sounded like Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Oh, look at you.
It sounded like da-da-da-da.
Look at you, da-da-da-da.
Isn't that a disco tune? I'm really showing my lack of cultural awareness.
Da-da-da-da.
Nish, it sounds like you've had a pretty eventful new year. Let me read you a headline from GB News. Nish Kumar sparks BBC hootenanny switch-off threats with unnecessary politics swipe. Hugely unfunny. What happened?
