- Reeves’ Budget
This episode was riveting, an absolutely spot-on analysis. Yes, this is a spiteful, one last term of an outdated socialist party who have no intention of returning to its working class roots when the newly welcomed constituents are having as many new welfare recipients as the possibly can. Your point of a 100 year change is prescient. Thank you for a very informative, well informed analysis.

What a superb interview with Jake W S. but so frightening… As a Jew, I’m now talking to my husband about selling up and moving - partly to Florida and we’ll have to work out where else. We’re in late sixties early seventies…. Your reporting is so honest and so succinct. I am a new convert. Thank you

What a lovely guy and a wonderful interview. I don’t know why he doesn’t desert this country and emigrate to Israel. I wish I could join him. Keep up the good work you two.

A good interview yet a slight bias towards the tory party yet again. Liam on the interview speaking about benefits etc should have asked her about what the tories were going to do about the non British born benefits claims that have rocketed. Reform will not allow migrants to receive benefits unless they are actual British citizens and Reform will make it harder to become a citizen. Tories will do or say nothing about this and another reason they are almost dead and gone
