The government has won a vote in the commons over its controversial winter fuel payments - but Keir Starmer knows he’s not winning over the public. Unpopular decisions are the theme of the day as Nish returns to join Coco on the PSUK couch. Later, our hosts are joined by former inmate turned podcaster and TV host David Navarro, alongside CEO of the Prison Reform Trust Pia Sinha to discuss the disastrous state of the UK’s prisons. It’s an eye opening chat - through David’s lived experience and Pia’s knowledge of the system we gain a better understanding of where our justice system is going wrong and how we can begin to fix it. Nish fights sleep as we’re brought up to speed with the Tory leadership latest, before firing up in disappointment at misguided comments on the Grenfell disaster from two former Prime Ministers. Coco lightens the mood with the unexpected love story between two of Westminster’s best known MPs. Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.

Full Episode
Hi, this is Pod Save the UK. I'm Coco Kahn.
And I'm Nish Kumar. And this week, we're embracing the government's newfound unpopularity.
And later, we're joined by two very special guests to discuss the challenges facing our prison system. But first, Nish is back. Return of the Mac. Where have you been?
I've been on tour. I was off last week because I was doing a last minute run of previews just before the tour started and the tour is up and running.
Well, obviously I'm heavily biased, but I have seen the show and it is fantastic and probably libelous. It's definitely not libelous.
I want that to be made very clear. For any lawyers listening who aren't going to come to the show, it's definitely 100% not libelous.
But maybe adjacent?
I believe that it's legally caveated sufficiently. Okay.
It is a spicy show. And if you would like to see a legally caveated show, you should absolutely get tickets. It's running around the country to end in November.
