Our PM should be ashamed of getting in bed with Palantir. donmcgowan333.substack.com/p/palantir-e...

@donmcgowan.bsky.social & I had a moment on @noholdspod.bsky.social this week. Don't laugh...... its not funny🫣👀

Two episodes of @noholdspod.bsky.social out for this week. @badassmutha.bsky.social and I did a full Farage Lie Count™ yesterday while he was on Times Radio talking about PMQs. And today's episode is a fairly harrowing tale of the State of America. The title says it all. Links below. 👇

@donmcgowan.bsky.social & I had some "fun" on @noholdspod.bsky.social unravelling #PMQs & dissecting #Farage lies yesterday. You too can have some "fun" by guessing how many porkies the gammon produced😉 youtu.be/qhav_sHXLT0?...

We can't quite believe what is happening with Farage taking cash to avoid his own job in PMQs tomorrow. So, as a countermeasure, we'll be live-streaming our very own watch along and try to fact-check him as he speaks! Join us on @NoHoldsPod YouTube channel and on 𝕏. Link below!

We're back from our festive break. Ep 38 is out. We had a general catch up on the weird news over Xmas and the ongoing flag worship. We also chatted about the horrific turn of events that Ai gave us this week — where is Lisa Nandy? Links below. 👇 @noholdspod.bsky.social | @badassmutha.bsky.social

I’ve long wanted to write an angry rant about how misleading Reform / GB News / the far-right have been using per capita stats - but, helpfully, @donmcgowan.bsky.social has written a better one. open.substack.com/pub/donmcgow...

Episode 35 Pt.1 is out now. PMQs was a brain-bender, but Starmer made lists. We also chatted about the Reformatives taking shape and Brexit is back, baby! Part 2 out later. Links below. 👇 @badassmutha.bsky.social | @donmcgowan.bsky.social

I wrote about my chats with the @patmillsuk.bsky.social over on Substack. My takeaway was one of human decency. Good people really trying to help those less fortunate than themselves. @dalevince.com & @stephenstroud.bsky.social laid out the objectives so well. open.substack.com/pub/donmcgow...

You can rest assured that we at @noholdspod.bsky.social will be thoroughly covering the Nathan Gill story on our next recording. Unlike some outlets <coughLBCcough>. Meanwhile, you can hear the preamble and coverage of Reform's shocker of a week, right now. Links below. 👇

It was an absolute pleasure to meet the @patmillsuk.bsky.social today in Stroud, and I was lucky enough to grab interviews with @dalevince.com and @stephenstroud.bsky.social to discuss their involvement in the group and what they hope it might achieve. A @noholdspod.bsky.social special this week.

Stroud!! What a turnout. Thanks to our members @dalevince.com and @stephenstroud.bsky.social for joining us on today's second stop of the #TaxTheSuperRich tour - and the community for such a warm welcome. Tomorrow we'll be in Oxford 📍

Yesterday, @badassmutha.bsky.social was invited to have a chat to the @patmillsuk.bsky.social in Liverpool. We were thrilled to have been invited to cover this important event with a group of people advocating for real, effective change. Try and catch them on the rest of their tour, next week.

Seems appropriate on a Sunday. As @badassmutha.bsky.social says, why don't the church call out the false prophets? Turning Point Tenconi and Tommy Robinson are weaponising Christianity for their racism. Don't forget to subscribe. Full ep here: youtu.be/5UX7XRS5Zvk
