Very good episode. One odd bit for me: that Lenin thought Béla Kun's regime were too extreme for him. The Trotsky of the Hun commies, Tibor Szamuely oversaw many horrors, and the "Lenin Boys" group committed many atrocities, but it's unclear why that regime would be considered such an outlier.

I haven't watched a new episode in an age, but my main annoyance with it has always been that it is devoted to mercilessly taking the piss out of anyone who believes in anything.

MOR shoegaze was the term that came to mind for me.

"All Dead, All Dead" and "Stromtroopers in Stilettos" are relative obscurities I'm partial to. But "Love of my Life" is my answer.

Quite possibly.

His association with the STWC at the height of the Syrian crisis, and his closeness to horrors like Milne and Andrew Murray, was suggestive, but I haven't come across explicit abhorrent pronouncements directly from Corbyn on it. (I'm happy to be shown chapter and verse.)

1996 Dole voter = 2025 centrist?

Is EH in the news or summit?

Detailed. :) Thanks.

The eggy texture is achieved with...?

"Make It Right" from her last album is outstanding.
