Waterstone's X

About the show

Auto-generated captionsTimed from 0:46 to 1:30:23.

Bob is on his own on Friday 21 November for Waterstone’s X, a What The X built around the Leith scrap between Argonaut Books and the new Waterstones at the Cutgate. After a farewell to Manny and a line on Starmer’s political class as monsters, he gets into the Sun and Herald drama: a petition, Friends-of groups who become the spokespeople, and a petty-bourgeois row that he says is getting more air than the genocide. He sets the exclusive shop at the Foot of the Walk against a no-nonsense Waterstones that people around there will actually walk into, and he vows to buy the first book on opening morning. Galloway reposting his Gaza piece brings the liberals back in, the Greens get called Tories with bikes, and Flynn jumping on the World Cup is the last of the political class. He plays out on Witch for a Night.
