With the backdrop of tariffs and territorial land grabs, Stewart and Armando look at the political language of U-turns and turncoats.
With politicians having to advocate for a position they used to be in direct opposition to, we ask if political language exists in a quantum state inside Robert Jenrick's head, or, failing that are we really expected to believe defectors like him have had a damascene conversion?
Stewart gives an update to an tired political joke, Armando finds a nifty Peace Prize related fix for the Greenland dispute, and they both give a run-down the shifty, shifting responses from Government officials on their numerous U-turns.

Is Keir Starmer stuck in 2016? BBC's Social Media Investigations Senior Correspondent Marianna Spring joins Phil Wang and Armando to look at the evolving language of social media.
How do politicians navigate the new online world, both when trying to get their central message across, and in responding to crises? With the shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, we examine how the normal playbook of a tragedy no longer applies.
In the extended episode, we hear Phil take on the role of a lifetime, playing Nigel Farage, find out how Armando's nickname is causing him problems, and look at Grok's recent scandal.

New Year, and Venezuela is under new management.
The fallout from the "extraction" of Maduro has thrown up some interesting political language. Why aren't the US calling it 'regime change'? Why is Starmer damned if he does or doesn't say anything? and is Trump the first politician to use the word 'literally' correctly?
In the extended version, we also look at Natalie's pedometer, Armando as the Elder of Taskmaster, and why a 'mild zombie apocalypse' has been described as 'encouraging'.

It's New Year's day, so Armando and Stewart are dipping into the very real, physical listeners' mailbag.
In a loose and end-of-term episode, with some adult humour, we talk about the misuse of the phrase 'bad apples', Stewart thanks Armando for his leadership, and are treated to unexpected, slightly fruity, film reviews of 'Who Dares Wins' and 'Cats'.
We also hear about Armando's ambassador for 'pace', Stewart's artistic skills, and some alternatives to the phrase 'fighting age males'.

As the year comes to a close, Natalie Haynes joins Armando to discuss and dissect the words of 2025.
Looking at official lists, and conjuring up some of their own, they set about breaking down the language that defined another frenetic year. We find out what links all of the official words of the year, and why we can learn a lesson from Austria when choosing them. Armando also denies he writes Pete Hegseth's speeches, and Natalie denies she is in a parasocial relationship with Taylor Swift

Über diesen Podcast
Armando Iannucci hosts the programme that gives you a cast-iron
guarantee to be laser-focused on decoding the baffling world of
political language.
Each week he'll be joined by a guest to crack open the political
phrasebook and attempt to demystify the doublespeak. Why does
everything now have to be 'turbo-charged'? What's the difference
between a 'pledge' and a 'mission'? Why has my local MP been
'weaponised' and should I be worried?
You'll be treated to a crash course in the dark arts of political
language from people on the inside who are both baffled and
beguiled by it. They'll walk you through the various verbal
fiascos of the modern political lexicon so that by the end you'll
be oven-ready for an appearance on Newsnight.
Armando's erstwhile partner in de-baffling political lexicon,
Helen Lewis, is away working in the United States in the autumn
and so her seat will be kept warm by a rotating cast of co-hosts.
Listen to Strong Message Here on Thursdays on Radio 4 at 9.45am,
and an extended version is available on BBC Sounds.
Produced by Gwyn Rhys Davies. A BBC Studios Production for BBC
Radio 4.
