No more plastic straws?

Plastic straws and drink stirrers, and cotton buds with plastic stems will be banned from sale and use in England from next April, the government has confirmed. What does The Ranganation think?

Featuring: Romesh Ranganathan, Shanthi Ranganathan, Natasia Demetriou & Katherine Ryan.

Press

The latest series from Romesh Ranganathan sees the comic debate the key issues of the day alongside a focus group of ordinary Brits and, of course, his mum, who stole the show on his Asian Provocateur travelogue. Not a groundbreaking premise, but his sardonic ways are a draw.

Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 26th May 2019
