The two Tones discuss the Labour Party's annual conference in Brighton which started badly for Sir Kier Starmer, the Party's leader.

Daddy & daughter, like always, agree on some aspects but not on others; but they are always (well, nearly always) good-natured disagreements.

That old dinosaur, Big Tone learnt what "cancel culture" really means for the first time in this episode.
