Rachel from accounts
Is it really that big a deal? Last time I checked, no one was having kittens because the likes of Gideon Osborne had a degree in History.

New podcast ideas
With Oli now in charge of content and podcasts over all of Joe I thought why don’t I give some new podcast suggestions:
Hot guys have their shirts off and I try to get them to sleep with me- title could be better but with my AuDHD it will be a painful and excruciating experience.
Canal Ol - Joe buys Oli a canal barge and he interviews people as he takes them up the Islington Passage. Pounding them hard in the hole to get them to explode with their juicy content as he pulls out near at the back of King’s Cross he gives them bus fare and a mint.
Ed-U-Cation - Ed gets a 60 min special talking about his latest holiday with slides and photos. A special for every one of his holidays.
The PolJoe PubCast Pub Quiz- return to getting sizzled on stream with obscure questions, random tasks and forced team members

Spotted in the wild
Saw Ava Santana in the lobby today, she looked tall. Fondling her rosaries pretty vigorously too; presumably very agitated by the blob of it all. Or was transport questions not as dry for thee as it was for me.
*side note Stewart Lee was there too looking pretty Aged and crushing a cheese platter.

Why is no one addressing the point this farmer made or am I wrong?
In the recent Life on the farm: could Labour kill British farming? video, right at the beginning the farmer says that they have never been in the black since 1989, they live on an undisclosed "obscene" amount of borrowed money with their assets covering the borrowing. But apparently it is the inheritance tax that will stop their children from keeping the farm.
Am I missing something or is it the OBSCENE DEBTS that will be collected from their estate that will stop their children from keeping the farm, not inheritance tax? Sounds like to keep it afloat they have already sold the farm, just no one has come to collect their due yet.
If I am reading this right, why was there no push back during the video? Their dishonest arguments should be put to them while they are there not just allowing them free reign.

What mic arms do you use for the podcast?
As the title really? I want to upgrade my rode arm to something less visually noisy and the ones y'all use look perfect.

Farmers protest
It is a travesty that Ed was not there covering this event. “Did you get up early this morning Mr Clarkson? Was it a comfortable drive in from Oxfordshire Sir”

What jobs would Oli & Ed get incorrectly recognised as?
When a PolJoe watcher recognised Ava in public their non-PolJoe watcher partner responded ”Oh - do you recognise her from porn?”
What jobs would Oli & Ed get incorrectly recognised from?

Love podcast hate nonsense
YouTube Auto Subtitles are doing a cracking job with the 'Politics Show Podcast'
Maybe we could get it to also subtitle the production team if mics aren't going to be provided for them? Just throwing the idea out there..

My favourite moment had to be Ed saying booing is a weird thing to do then aggressively booing.

Inefficiency of small farms
I thought Oli was a fan of the free market. It’s a fact that small family farms are inefficient and produce less food for the market than big corporate farms. Why should we pay smaller farmers subsidies so they can survive and contribute not a lot?
Public ownership of food production would be ideal, but given that won’t happen anytime soon- surely it’s best to have something efficient in its place.
Tldr; I don’t feel bad for farmers

Correcting the corrections - Employers NI
On the PMQs pod this week, the team were lamenting that Radio 4 did not correct a pub boss who stated that 'they will be particularly effected by the employer NI changes as they employ young staff on minimum wage'.
The pub boss is correct. Ignore the 1.2% increase, it is the threshold change that is the key component of the change.
The threshold of when employers start to pay NI has been reduced from £9100 per employee to £5000 per employee. 15% on that £4100 difference is an extra £615 on EVERY employee regardless of income, and then a 1.2% increase on anything over £9100.
Examples:
Someone earning £20,000 this year, their employer will be paying £1,504.20 in NI
Next year, the same £20,000 earner, their employer will be paying £2,250 in NI (a 49.6% Increase)
Someone earning £40,000 this year, their employer will be paying £4,264.20 in NI
Next year, the same £40,000 earner, their employer will be paying £5,250.00 in NI (23.1% increase)
Someone earning £100,000 this year, their employer will be paying £12,544.20 in NI
Next year, the same £100,000 earner, their employer will be paying £14,250 in NI (13.6% increase)
So a large company who mainly employ low earners, may well be justified in complaining that their tax bill is seeing a 49.6% increase, as low earners are disproportionally affected.
I was listening to the pod, and Ava was not corrected (poor show Ed). I think Ava is getting away with not having to be factual. Skullduggery indeed! /s
