Trash Talk... with Count Binface

Ian Hislop

Season 1, Ep. 10

It's time for Number 10.


No no. Count Binface isn't moving into Downing Street just yet. This is episode number 10 of Trash Talk, and this is the first of three DAILY episodes as we enter the trilogy of the last day of campaigning, polling and results.


In this episode the esteemed editor of Private Eye Ian Hislop discusses his favourite whoopsies from the past six weeks and looks ahead to covering a (potential*) Labour Government.


Enjoy the episode - and remember to MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!


*Sir Kier would like us to remind you that currently no votes have been cast. Unless you count postal votes. If you've managed to get one.


This podcast is prompted by Count Binface for the Count Binface Party, at PO Box 731, Wadhurst, Earth

    Things are hotting up... and I don't just mean the weather (that sentence won't make sense 6 months from now). Who's your money on? (Apart from a suspicious amount on a July election) In this episode Paul Gorton from The Traitors joins us to help us identify a traitor from a faithful politician and shares the malevolent minister he and Harry would pick to join their team. Plus we unveil a 25th Manifesto pledge and appoint a new Speaker for the House of Commons. Here's the fun bit I have to say...

    Welcome to debate number 713 of this 2024 General Election campaign... but the only one that matters. The BBC, Sky & ITV have all shunned old Binface - but don't worry - he's made his own. Asking the questions is a true titan of UK news broadcasting, and one of the most popular newsreaders on Sigma IX - Simon McCoy. PLUS... once the grilling was over Binface turned the tables and put a few questions back to Simon... see how he likes it! Just to keep the electoral commission happy...

    31:45
    Maybe this will be the closest we come to getting a Conservative politician on the podcast - comedian Rosie Holt went viral during lockdown for her depictions of spoof MP Rosie Holt (we know it's confusing - just go with it). In this episode Rosie talks about the inspiration behind her character, and what might become of her on election night.Plus, we've reduced the entire campaign to just two words. No, not those two.If you're enjoying the podcast - please tell your fellow Earthlings, follow on your podcast platforms and leave a lovely 5* review.Seeing as Count Binface now running for Parliament - here's some mandatory wording:This podcast is prompted by Count Binface for the Count Binface Party, at PO Box 731, Wadhurst, Earth
