The US democratic primary election is heating up and the candidates are beginning to outline their policies and differentiate themselves from eachother. One such candidate is Elizabeth Warren. She aligns herself with Bernie Sanders and the hardline progressive agenda which he has been espousing for decades. In this podcast Felix Faillace explains how this is not the case and she does not believe in these policies as much as she says she does, nor is she going to fight the political elite of America in the same way which Bernie Sanders will.

Boris Johnson has decided to prorogue parliament via a queens speech. This is normal tradition for a new government, however these are not normal times. On the 31st of October the UK is set to leave the EU through a no-deal brexit if we do not accept the deal set by the EU. This prorogation and recess in parliament means that MPs will have 2 weeks out of the remaining 2 months to enact legislation to prevent a no-deal brexit, something that is basically impossible. The only realistic way to truly prevent a no-deal brexit now is to have a vote of no confidence in our prime minister, Boris Johnson.

So... here we are... the end... curtain call.... on our journey through bananaland. BUT WAIT. Perhaps not. As Jeroen explains to Felix at the beginning of this episode, our journey through bananaland is never done boys and girls. Self-improvement is a never ending process and one that you must begin right now. NO, not tomorrow, not in 2 hours, not after the football. RIGHT. NOW. This final step explains the importance of paying attention, to your own thoughts and bananas, and how you can feel better by tuning in instead of tuning out.
