“Dead and rotting seagulls within the roof insulation” and “maggots literally raining down on to the lobby” - this quote from a court in South Tyneside sums up the state of our creaking judicial system. So what are we going to do about it? Cut jury t... more
Coco and Nish listened to Rachel Reeves' budget so you don't have to. But hang on, we could all have skipped the speech and read it online. Someone screwed up big time, pressing a button and releasing the budget before Reeves even stood up. That cock... more

I’m very much the type who’d be instantly identified as a lifelong Labour voter who’s increasingly frustrated with Keir Starmer, so it’s no surprise that I’m broadly sympathetic to this podcast’s point of view. Even so, it often gives me something to think about, and it definitely makes me laugh. I really enjoy it.
Not what I expect from POD Save the UK. Coco Khan mud-rant referring to Shabana Mahmood as ‘love’ is patronising and misogynistic, whether or not you agree with her immigration policies. I don’t, but I don’t think Khan’s ranting helps and I much prefer the calmer though no less hard hitting approach of Nish Kumar.
Love the show, especially to get perspective on the U.S. in a thoughtful and engaging way. But please refrain from unnecessary use of ChatGPT and AI in general. It is absolutely terrible for the environment and it financially supports the tech bros who are currently dismantling democracy and decency as we know it.
Beware this podcast. It spreads hatred and division.
There’s almost definitely been some sort of brief to flood these type of podcasts with bad reviews recently (or maybe emboldened roundabout painters, idk). It’s so immature. Nish, Coco, you’re great hosts. It’s a great podcast. Long may it continue (and I’m sure it will).
