2. The Political Discourse Lip Balm Gift Pack

Michael Spicer: No Room

Available for over a year

A new Banksy artwork has appeared and it's surprisingly decent. Disgraced former MP Stuart Piper-Aloysious makes an unexpected return with a centrist political podcast with another MP booted out at the last election. And the increasingly pixelated tactics of tabloid papers are revealed. Michael Spicer aims his laser-guided satirical sight at the insanity of modern politics and culture in this sketch comedy where he plays every character. The latest series of No Room comes after a critically acclaimed first run that built on Michael's social media output, which took off when he created his Room Next Door government advisor character. His withering takedowns of politicians have amassed more than 100 million views and helped keep his audience sane in fractured times. Writer, Performer and Co-Editor: Michael Spicer Composer and Sound Designer: Augustin Bousfield Producer: Matt Tiller A Tillervision production for BBC Radio 4
