Voters are wrong. All the time. Why can’t progressive politicians just say it? Mildly triggered by Zack Polanski dealing with Peston. His response is present day textbook “good” but why must we treat voters like infants?

Mrs Beeton’s book from the late 1800s had a curry in it that eventually inspired the Japanese Curry Rice

Crazy theory… Jenrick will build up his profile then switch to Reform (Farage will think he can handle him) then become future Reform leader.

If Reform do have a policy to deport people with indefinite leave to remain, and you support them, you *are* a racist. Let’s not pussyfoot around this shit.

Getting into street food has been really eye opening, mainly how financially mad it seems. It's made me wonder if a good way to just boost the economy is to pay independent entrepreneurs to be in places rather than the other way around xD

What a banger. Also maybe humor is the actual way to fix us xD

Ironically, if Charlie Kirk isn’t a grifter (I think he was pretty genuine), the way his side are cancelling everyone’s free speech will make him turn in his grave

..these people. Even my typically progressive friend is defending this “if you come on a boat you’re banned” line. I understand why people have the idea that refugees should be grateful to live *anywhere* despite it being a dismal opinion. Is there an effective way to counteract this viewpoint?

Loved the pod & it’s so refreshing to hear someone talk positively about migration. On the “why don’t they stay in France?” but I do feel that the real question is… “France is safe, beggars can’t be choosers, why do they get any choice in the matter?”. Legal technicalities might miss the point for..

Angela Rayner resigning over this is the death knell of our politics (if it wasn’t already doomed). Our media is pathetic.

Really interesting interview. I initially thought Emily was being pretty unfair but it got Clegg to reveal his own misunderstanding (or disingenuousness) about the influence of social media on people. Content is information and info influences people, it doesn’t need to body snatch someone

I’m starting to agree with the “politicians are all the same” people. FML. How many years do we have to prepare to be antifa rebel forces?

Listening to the latest pod. I wish they’d get Emily Thornberry in front of more things. To me she comes across as witty and up for saying it how it is. I’d love to see her unleashed 1v1 against Farage. Also where’s Rayner? Or Andy Burnham? They’ve got the talent in there somewhere
