The Classic Rest Is Politics Coffee Mug
This is the one you’ve seen on countless Instagram stories - the signature black mug with the show’s logo in clean white lettering. It’s a 11oz ceramic design, microwave and dishwasher safe, so it’s as practical as it is photogenic. The handle is chunky enough for a comfortable grip, and the interior is pure white, making for a nice contrast when you pour that first espresso. At £14.99, it’s a no-brainer for anyone who wants a daily reminder that politics is, in fact, a daily drama.
A nice touch? The rim is slightly rolled, which gives it a sturdy feel without being clunky. Fans have pointed out that it keeps coffee hot for a good twenty minutes - perfect for when Campbell and Stewart get into one of their signature disagreements.
The Travel Tumbler for On-the-Go Politics
For those who catch episodes during the morning run or on the train, the Featured Product is a better bet. It’s a stainless steel tumbler with a press-fit lid, holding 350ml. The design features the show’s “Politics is Brewing” tagline - a not-so-subtle nod to the fact that every day in 2026 brings a new crisis. It’s double-walled to keep your coffee hot (or iced tea cold) for hours, and the base fits standard car cup holders. Priced at £24.99, it’s a bit more of an investment, but it’ll save you from spilling hot coffee during a Brexit debate rehash.
One fan on Twitter noted, “I took this to the office and three people asked where I got it. Now we have a TRIP club.” So expect it to spark conversations.
Limited Edition: The “Campbell & Stewart” Pair Set
If you’re a serious collector - or just want to have a matching set for when friends come over - there’s the pair set featuring both hosts’ faces in minimalist line art. One mug has Campbell’s signature smirk, the other Stewart’s deadpan expression. They come in a gift box and are produced in a small batch (just 500 sets for the 2026 autumn tour). At £39.99, they’re a niche pick, but the quality is premium: bone china, gold rim, and printed with a technique that won’t fade after a thousand dishwasher cycles.
These are tough to get; as of July 2026, only 150 sets remain. So if you’re planning to attend one of the live shows this fall, snap them up online to avoid the rush.
Why Now?
You might be thinking: “I already have a mug.” But here’s the thing - the 2026 season has been wild. The show just dropped a six-part series on the US midterms, and the live tour is ramping up for a European leg. Having a piece of merch from this specific era feels more connected to the moment. Plus, these mugs are designed by the same team that handles the podcast’s visuals - so you’re getting something that’s on-brand in a way generic political merch isn’t.
Also, the store just restocked the classic mug after a brief hiatus, so sizes are available again in S, M, L (oddly, they only come in one size, but you get the point).
