Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

This week's main story is about deep-sea mining, whether it's worth doing, and what John has in common with Henry Kissinger (unrelated, but still important to note).

John Oliver discusses the plans for Donald Trump's second term, an interesting campaign choice from a conservative congressional candidate in Michigan, and the bakery that has very successfully turned John into a cake bear.

This week's main story is about the UK elections – who's running, who's recently stepped down, and why the Tories don't seem to have even one charismatic candidate. We don't have an answer for that last part, just plenty of proof that it's true.

John Oliver discusses the wave of conservatives claiming there is a wave of "migrant crime", covers highlights from the RNC, and encourages us all to make suggestions for next year's World Games.
