Bazookaaah
UK politics satirised from a house in North Tyneside with your host Gavin Webster. Ranting about the latest commons vote, to the latest whip resigning to the latest Trump tweets, Gav weaves his way through it in an articulate poetical way with a musical background. Show going to go twice a week very soon.
Bazookaaah Number 44 Budget Special
Send us a text
Yes as promised it's a budget special. Reeves gets the biggest Bazookering but of course many others including outliers like Cherie Blair and George Osbourne get the mortars.
We cover most of the main points, the child benefit cap and it's lifting, the fuel duties, the mansion tax, it's all there.
Of course sexy Kemi had her say as did all of the bacon face fanatics from the touchline. We couldn't cover all of the reactions as we couldn't cover all of the budget but we had a go.<...

This is a good one. Isabel Oakshott and her anger at what's going wrong in the UK from her property in Dubai. She's of course married to Richard Tice, well she might not be, it says she is and there's photos of them together but you never know they might never have met which her husband seems to be keen on doing alongside his boss.
I digress though, it's serious this murky Russia business or Russia Russia Russia as Trump calls it when he's rattled which is most of the time...

We're back and it's a big alarm clock episode which is the dynamic that Reform voters are going after. Tice and his 'people that get up in the morning' rhetoric gets Bazookaaahed as well as the GB News lot who apparently are slamming the BBC in terms in ratings yet they seem to be obsessed with them at the same time and their programmes that apparently no one is watching.
Of course the BBC editing of Trump's rallying cry from 5 years is covered, also the resident doctor's strike, the King's birthday...

Anthony Hopkins with his ADHD diagnosis, obviously more Trumpian lampooning as well as the silly UK government getting Bazookaaah treatment of course with crap impressions.
Obviously the big news this week was the grand old Duke of York who had 12 million pounds but probably only 'resting' in his account for a short while before it went.......somewhere.
Also a nod to the late Reagan, as well as a bit of Bazookering on Graham Linehan, Sharon Davies and JK Rowling or to use his real name John Rowling.

We're 40, and what a 40th!!
We imagine Tice as a communist, we have the bombshell about inflation....staying the same, we hammer national treasure and obviously we couldn't go without mentioning the chaotic performance of Reform cheerleader Nadine Dorries on Question Time, yeah...sure...well...no..you may laugh.
Sorry but we had to cover the bore fest Labour deputy leadership contest but we cover it in fun detail. There's an oblique reference to the risible orange men, Sadiq Khan and Khan Younis get the Bazoinks treatement as does...

Chris Philp!!!! I can't say any more. Yes his 'stand up comedy' at the Conservative Party Conference was audio to behold. The rest of the conference was part comedy, part cringe and almost a feeling that I didn't want to gatecrash private grief.
Not to be outdone after we covered the ridiculous judges puppet speech by Robert Jenrick last week, he followed this up with his comical stance on the Aston Villa v Maccabi Tel Aviv forthcoming 'European' match.
We cover the Scottish National Party conference as well and h...

Party conference season and we've got 2 for 1 this week.
The Greens were somewhere Green last week and Zack Polanski, the head of the Greens that sounds a bit cockney rhyming slang was giving it big licks in a Marxist old fashioned industrial style talking about chains and stuff, mind you it's very different to the executive attitude of the Unite The Colours movement that had their patriotic bucket hats made in Bangladesh.
Yes we covered the Tories as well, Robert Jenrick who is great value got the Bazookaaah treatment...

Labour conference special. Yes I'm there!! Starmer's speech, Yvette Cooper's speech and all the other speeches that supposedly took place.
Obviously the world still turns round so there's obligatory Trump stuff and various other odds and sods but it's full on conference this week. I hope you enjoy it.

Trump! Talking at a funeral but using it to announce new government proposals and yes we're talking about taking mild painkillers and it's link to autism even though the time frames don't tally up. Doesn't matter to Trumpy though.
Wes Streeting our esteemed health minister who once....no of course he didn't gets the Bazookering treatment and his strategic distancing himself from the president of the USA just like he distanced himself from Corbyn when his colleagues were sticking the knife into him.
A terrific interview with TikTok Sweary...

Number 35 and of course after a quiet couple of weeks we had to get stuck into Trump and of course his trip to the banquet. Of course there was his usual denial of all this island stuff whatever that is, then the dressing down of the Australian journalist for....asking him a question however the biggest Trumpy meltdown was due to Jimmy Kimmel being cancelled because of woke and this lefty suppression of free speech, oh hang on a minute.

Number 34 and it's the Labour deputy post that has overweight northern women all over it. Even ones that Keir sacked last week. To be fair the woman from Reform who burst into song last week isn't from the north however the 1 minute clip of the song she composed herself is a minute I won't ever get back.
Of course Mandelson gets the Bazookaaah treatment as does the Christian right in America after the Utah shooting. We have a special guest this month as well. Robin Ince is my first ever talking...

Anyway Tice, Farage and of course Nottingham's Reform council get bazzokered as does Graham Linehan and JK Rowling, but don't get your knickers in a twist, Yvette Cooper gets a bazookering as does the working class landowner Angela Whiner, sorry Raynor.

Back home and Bazookaah is back!! It wouldn't be Bazookaaah without Trump and his 'great idea' to deploy the national guard to clamp down on illegals in Washington DC. Farage get's the Bazoinks treatment due to his hypocrisy over conflicting comments regarding the House Of Lords. We've got Scottish news and Colin Smyth's toilet antics. Peter Hebblethwaite gets a Bazookaaah send off after he quite as the CEO of P&O ferries, however the big news is the red crosses on the mini roundabouts that's a phenomena sweeping the nation at the moment...

Trump and his trips to the island, Alaska talks, Oasis, Summerhall at the Edinburgh fringe and the Kate Forbes row, free speech, Reeves and her alleged hike in taxes that she's allegedly thinking about. It's all here. I'm still at the fringe and between the Britpop invasion of middle aged men to the onslaught of the pensioner rockers and sharpies in town to see AC/DC. Another ranted Bazookaaah classic.

We're here to stay though and we've got a new guest character, Big Lev who is a soldier based in the Ukraine, but Reeves and Starmer get it and we've got a take on Sultana leaving the Labour Bin Fire. Of course we've got some stuff on the whole Bob Vylan affair at Glastonbury the silly overreaction. Lots of gems in there. Listen in!
