Superb podcast every week and an absolute must listen. You both do such a great job in bringing us the real story and the facts about the abysmal degradation of our country. Can’t wait for a new government and a Reform please 🙏

This podcast is one of my favourite podcast. It says the truth about politics, and daily life . I love how The Telegraph is a trusted media source, not like the fake news spreading bbc

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 Yes, this is a spiteful, one last term of an outdated socialist party who have no intention of returning to its working class roots when the newly welcomed constituents are having as many new welfare recipients as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
