The Trumpton Podcast

Britain is in the middle of a General Election, one that promises big change after a long period of austerity, war and privation the nation is ready for a change. It's June 2024 but Mike takes a look back at the Labour Manifesto from 1945 - the election that created the NHS, Free Secondary Education, Nationalised transport, power and industry, the Welfare State and the United Nations. It's not quite a Wikipedia page this episode, it's the original document and it's contents resonate today as much as they did back then.Read the original document here:http://www.labour-party.org.uk/manifestos/1945/1945-labour-manifesto.shtmlFind Mike Reads Wikipedia here:pod.link/1561158559

On this week's show Mike asks - "what's the point?" as the election gets more and more tedious. Suella has a plan for the surplus uniforms she finds herself with, Clive Denby has switched sides, yet again, and the new Labour candidate is revealed. But then Brian, formerly the PotHole guy, comes up with a brilliant policy - so perhaps all is not lost.

Week two of our coverage of the election in South Trumptonshire finds more candidates playing musical chairs, the Labour party stealing Brian's big idea and Tim Hammer in a body condom on the motorway. A normal week on the chaotic campaign trail.
