Talking Sense About Phala Phala, Shelley Garland, Trump In China, and the UK Local Elections

This episode revisits the Shelley Garland affair, the collapse of HuffPost South Africa, and what it revealed about wokeness. The panel then turns to Phala Phala, Ramaphosa’s impeachment danger, and the political price the DA should demand. They end on the collapse of Labour in Britain, and Trump’s China visit, where the real fight may be over the future of the dollar.
