We Care, We Fight! (with Stewart Lee)

After Lib Dem conference, Stewart Lee joins Armando to look at Ed Davey's language. We also examine how tech leaders are changing how they talk about their products, and Trump TV.

Stewart Lee returns to the show after a summer judging dog shows with Charlotte Church.

He and Armando look at the Lib Dem conference, and why the 'word cloud' is not Ed Davey's friend. They also have some helpful and serious suggestions for how Ed can improve his messaging, which I'm sure he'll take on board.

Elsewhere, we look at how Trump's media ban might play out, and if the Democrats in the US have finally landed on a decent attack line on 'The Trump Crime Family'.
