Brand's Budgie Smugglers

Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs

Church of England revs with a difference Thomas Pelham and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the big stories in church and state. This time:

• Rosie Duffield's excoriating resignation letter crushing Starmer with brutal rhetoric.
• Our thoughts on the Tory leadership contest as Badenoch says not all cultures are equally valid.
• Russell Brand baptises in tight white underpants.
• And listener emails on the Pope's universalism and "hetero communion".

All that and a little bit more as ever.
