TRASHFUTURETRASHFUTURE*PREVIEW* Britainology 100: The Life in the UK Test (feat. Trashfuture)It's a Britainology episode, except it's every member of TF on this one, so in a sense it only makes sense to give the show guest billing. And Milo has created a suite of test questions to determine whether or not we know enough of the actually-relevant details about the UK. Let's just say that the final scores... are something of a surprise to us.

The assembled cast of Riley, Milo, Nate, and Alice learned about topics such as Ketamine Keir Starmer, a punitive deployment of ferrets to chase out schoolchildren from toilets, the Leon Burgers to Government Policy pipeline, and a strange conception of the things you can do with barbeque sauce.

Well There’s Your Problem On this week's bonus, we're joined by the entire cast of Well There's Your Problem to discuss some odd trends: residential office refits that are unliveable, the world's biggest cruise ship that helps make everything else unliveable, and a company making hyper-secure golf course fortress residences in Scotland for multimillionaires to live when everywhere else is unliveable.

But not just any coin: a strange loophole in a ’90s law designed to let the U.S. Mint produce collectors’ coins basically means that, if they wanted to, the director could order the Mint to issue a platinum coin of any denomination. Two dollars. Ten million dollars. One trillion dollars. But will the Democrats use this to completely undercut Republican debt ceiling brinkmanship? Probably not?

The Tories are ideologically opposed to state capacity, sure, that’s table stakes, but did you know that Labour also promise to not fix the unavoidable problems with the UK’s rail network?

We also look at some developments in Scotland, and Labour’s plan to give every homeowner control of Trident to deal with the rampant issue of young people loitering.
