Nick Dixon and Toby Young Discuss Whether a Summer Election is Likely, Why so Many Tory MPs Turn Out to be Wrong-Uns and Should Mark Rowley Resign?
Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 85
This week:
- Nick and Toby wish their viewers and listeners happy St George’s Day – or, as Nick puts it, happy wankers-posting-about-how-St-George-was-really-Turkish Day
- Are we heading for a summer election, given the passing of the Rwanda Bill and the increase in defence spending?
- Mark Menzies is the latest in a string of gay Tory MPs to be caught up in an embarrassing sex scandal. What is it about Cameron’s A-listers?
- The Met has got itself into a pickle over refusing to let Gideon Falter cross the road during a pro-Palestinian protest because he’s “openly Jewish”. Should Mark Rowley resign?
- Plus everyone’s favourite section, Peak Woke, and premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which this week includes:
- Should we criticise HIGNFY for only making fun of Gender Woo Woo when it became safe to do so, or celebrate the fact that the tide has turned?
- 16 year-old anorexic girls may be eligible with suicide help under Scotland’s Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults Bill
- And in the Based Department, Nick nominates Camilla Tominey for telling Femi to go f*** himself

Lets have a summer election and get rid of the fake Tories who are really just another bunch of eco woke socialists. ——I want Braverman as leader to form a proper Conservative Opposition that tears into Starmer’s please everybody government like a pack of hyenas ripping the guts out of a Wilde Beast
PS——– There can be no place for that insipid wimp Oliver Dowden in a new Conservative Opposition. Are the Tories really saying that if Sunak were to take ill then this hand wringing streak of p..s would be the Prime Minister? Are they having a f….g laugh?
There’s no place for any of them in a ‘real’ Conservative party!
Ted Heath, best tory pm ever!
Not so sure about that one but it is all down to opinions isn’t it? I would have a few of them though like Bridgen, Braverman, Davis etc and ofcourse Farage.
Ted Heath was a traitor and is responsible for much of the current mess.
And St Patrick was British, but that doesn’t stop the Irish having a good time!
St George wasn’t Turkish he was a Cappadocian Greek, born in what is now modern day Turkey 100 years before the Turks got there, he was a member of the praetorian guard in the Whoman empire and, topically enough, died in the roman province of Palistine!
why isn’t it on apple podcast this week?
“Mark Menzies is the latest in a string of gay Tory MPs to be caught up in an embarrassing sex scandal. What is it about Cameron’s A-listers?”
When I saw the headline “Why so many Tory MPs turn out to be wrong-uns” I thought it might be a comment on why so few of them are actually conservative. I’d settle for that, even with some “sex scandals” thrown in.
Worst edition yet. No premium content, clearly a tech issue. But why the rather boring stuff on the election, nothing on the policing in Whitehall on St George’s day or Tommy Robinson court debacle, but worst of all, why no mention at all of Unherd’s GDI investigation and the fallout from it. The most shocking story in the free speech space in living memory, and no mention at all.
