Right wing nuts dominate the latest episode… but here's why Trump won’t be able to stop Net Zero and James Dyson should stop whinging and pay his taxes like the rest of us.
-
This week we talk Budget, Green-on-Green battles, why I'm saying No in November, and I unpack my supposed "shadowy" support for the Labour Party...:)

We got left and right wing nuts this week - as the heat pump rumble, rumbles on and I’m accused of all manner of things. The UN issues a stark warning ‘apocalypse this century’ looks nailed on. With the Budget coming, we talk about making tax more fair. Water companies continue to outrage, their apocalypse is surely just around the corner. All with a fab dose of listener questions, and X rated icing on the cake.
-
The Monbiot episode? Well, it was hard to avoid some mention of the extraordinary attacks, sparked by my public comments on Heat Pumps. Our school dinner campaign has bled over (wrong choice of words?) into the NHS - I’ve been advocating for more tax (again) and then we talk Drax (the actual one) and the bonkers plans of the last government to buy trees from far-flung countries - to feed the beast. Our listeners chip in with brilliant contributions - not least X rated corner - I think I love these guys...:)
-
This week we talk Regicide, Hurricanes, Football, Climate Villains (and tax exiles) and news giving us reason to maybe co opt that old right wing saw “what about China?”. Then we get to the serious stuff, listener questions and we have fish on the beach, cows in the room, grid fairies and zero carbon flying (no fairy tale that) - and X rated corner is what it is...:)
-
Cracking episode... We kick off with the Tory party conference - just another episode in the saga of the race to lead the zombie party. We celebrate the end of coal in the UK, although the joy’s somewhat dampened by a big gamble on Carbon Capture. In 'non-news', we have fossil fuel companies not investing in green... Our undercover team’s been busy too – breaking a dirty salmon farming story live on ITV, followed by another on snares and a Duke. Fab questions, great intervention from Julie, and some humorous names in our X-rated corner...
-
This week – we dive into the Labour Conference with fringe events, speeches, and wall-to-wall media interviews, covering donations, wealth tax, and winter fuel allowance... The big bad boy that landed in the press was the mandatory meat and dairy for school dinners, stirring up quite the storm... Keir Starmer’s sausage slip-up makes the headlines, and I share my own sausage moment on Sky News...:) Plus, we chat about the bizarre Green 100 list placing Theresa May above me, and finish with fab questions on everything from school meals to protein made from grass... Oh, and that bloke Musk.
-
This week - An ex government minister says some crazy stuff and goes toe to toe with Nige for the right wing nut award - while an actual government minister says something crazy but true. The nuttiest project from the Tory years gets the High Court boot and the implications of that are big. Look out, Rosebank... We reflect on the good things Thatcher did… weird, and then discover Counterfactual Corner… you gotta love it…:)
-
In this one, we’ve got methane – a bit of a climate villain and another reason to ditch the cow. Right-wing nuts are back – Trump and his leading acolyte on this side of the pond, both vying for top spot. And vegan dogs and cats – who knew? Even vets admit they live longer, healthier lives. Green populism gets a run out in the US as a way to engage the right-wing in the polar bear-saving agenda. Plus, some simply fabulous listener questions, including a new X-rated section. Oh, and do you know which animal in Britain kills the most humans…?
-
Our new season kicks off and we talk about the title, what it might have been and why it is what it is. We have Rishi and his 4 foot wooden spoon, a summer of Grid Faeries and the incredibly self unaware rantings of Reform in the House. The success of the latest renewable auction and the nuclear story behind that - plus our listeners are back with a bang, not least with the 10 million tonne question…
-
It’s been a crazy ride this series - blessed with an abundance of right wing nuts, we explored all manner of craziness, not least from Sunak and co (remember him? Nah us neither). The series spanned Dale’s time immersed in the summer of Just Stop Oil, the vital pivot to Just Stop the Tories (to de fang the right wing media) all the way up to our election campaign called Just Vote - and the actual election at which we did indeed Just Stop the Tories. Not sure Season 6 can top that, but who knows. Still needs a name btw……over to you.
-
LIVE from WOMAD - Dale really enjoyed the audience questions on this live session which was off the charts, just brilliant. Great questions, great discussion, wide ranging, free ranging really - and great fun. Made the day.
-
We close out our ‘Just Stop the Tories’ season, live from WOMAD (festival). With a drive-by look back at the origins of that phrase and its realisation - Labour’s mammoth win and rapid policy moves. We also explore ‘green on green,’ a phenomenon from the election that appears to have legs. Are Labour green, or are they not? We share anecdotes about Tory MPs, public misconceptions on green energy, and the evolving role of protest. With a fabulous bunch of audience questions from the horse’s mouth...:)
-
The Tories have been stopped, Labour wastes no time, and we look at a bit of green-on-green action. Dale's feeling the pressure for a new name, NIMBYs in the firing line, and another eco-activist in the dock as we ask - why are the good guys getting banged up? Another temperature record, windmills with no gears, what has Ian learned in 5 years of doing this… and other fab listener questions. Our last episode of the season ends on a high as we look ahead to a live show at WOMAD and the Vegan Camp Out.
-
Crawling out of our post-Glasto, post-election black hole – we’re back, and the Tories have been stopped by a massive Labour win. We talk about lifting the onshore wind farm ban, banning bee-killing pesticides, and halting new oil and gas licenses, plus Moggy is out... The Tory party leader merry-go-round continues unabashed, and we need a new season title – coz the Tories have been stopped (worth saying twice). Also, we got Grid Faeries powering the Arcadia field at Glasto, and their next gig is Womad, where we'll record the final episode of this series – live onstage...:)
-
Giant Batteries, Bob Vylan, climate deniers and Dale’s multi stage tour - that’s just Glasto - we also cover the election (obvs), some bandwagon jumping and the latest from Hamasgate, with Guido in the dock.
-
This week, we're in a whirlwind of events. Dale's shares his excitement about the upcoming election, comparing it to a kid waiting for Christmas. He shares his experiences marching for nature with Chris Packham and Emma Thompson. We tackle the 'cow in the room' - the massive role animal agriculture plays in the nature and climate crisis. Plus, we dive into how Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites could mess with the Earth's ozone layer when they deorbit. All this with some cracking questions from our listeners...:)
-
This week, we’ve got Newsnight behind the scenes, Reform’s not-manifesto, Farage being ‘stitched up’, and a GB News apology in the dead of night. While we run a calculator over Cameron’s infamous ‘cut the green crap’ period, there’s a new development on the popcorn front, and we look at the idea of vegan ghettos… all with a sprinkling of fab listener questions.
-
This week, Europe has outbreaks, but our right wing nut in the chair is from the unreformed party (it’s proper nutty). We talk elections as ‘Two Fleets’ Sunak launches the manifesto we all knew was coming, and we look at the $41 trillion the world just spent on the climate. We talk dangerous food, McDonald's, ice cream, and the four big industries that are literally licensed to kill us. And the pro-democracy campaign that tried to use the House of Commons to encourage voting - and got shut down by the cops.
-
Spoilt this week by an abundance of right-wing nuttery - headlined by Tice claiming ‘it was the sun wot did it.’ We try desperately not to mention Coutinho (and fail), but it was a Godzilla-sized solar farm that that did for us. We talk paratroopers with passports, part of Farage’s legacy, as he parachutes into the election (and Tice’s chair). This time, he can only do good because the mission is ‘Just Stop the Tories.’ We look at Sunak repeating the mistakes of Cameron, and Dale reveals a new study that maps 'the cost of cutting the green crap.’ Plus, a new campaign - Just Vote. We have a tale of two sausages… and some great news for Piers Morgan, with fabulous listener questions indelibly written throughout…
