In the 1st of two Politics segments: (7:04) In the past year and change, one of the many ad nauseum slogans they've forced into the public consciousness - only to not deliver - is "Levelling Up". They even created a department just for it. So, how did it go? How the fuck d'you think... (Article By Alex Nurse)

In the 2nd Politics segment: (20:23) After a brief look back one of many Tory failures, we now look ahead to the General Election and one phrase is coming firmly into the zeitgeist: Tactical Voting. (Article By Chloe Chaplain)

In Sports: (34:52) Last time I talked about the Olympics it was about general negligence towards vulnerable French citizens. Digging into a more specific issue: The French's Hijab ban and the French athletes that are suffering because of it. (Article By Alexander Durie)

Lastly, in Life: (54:49) Mental Health has taken big strides in the past decade. We're all better off being aware of it. But what about Social Health? Matter of fact, what even is it and should it be the next building block to better ourselves? (Article By Kasley Killam)
