Reform UK is getting into the lottery business - inviting people to sign up for a chance to have their energy bills paid for a year. But is the real prize a massive database of voters ahead of the next General Election?

The first wave of Mandelson files have been published. We all wanted to know what Keir Starmer knew, and when he knew it. Now we can see it in black and white.
And as it turns out - Starmer was warned there was a “general reputational risk” over Ma... more

I listen to pod save America but hadn’t realised there was a UK version. As I’m in the uk I thought it would be a good listen. I couldn’t get through it though, feels more superficial than the US version, more like a twitter discussion. Prefer the Two Matts podcast at the moment.
Excellent
I’m very much the type who’d be instantly identified as a lifelong Labour voter who’s increasingly frustrated with Keir Starmer, so it’s no surprise that I’m broadly sympathetic to this podcast’s point of view. Even so, it often gives me something to think about, and it definitely makes me laugh. I really enjoy it.
Not what I expect from POD Save the UK. Coco Khan mud-rant referring to Shabana Mahmood as ‘love’ is patronising and misogynistic, whether or not you agree with her immigration policies. I don’t, but I don’t think Khan’s ranting helps and I much prefer the calmer though no less hard hitting approach of Nish Kumar.
Love the show, especially to get perspective on the U.S. in a thoughtful and engaging way. But please refrain from unnecessary use of ChatGPT and AI in general. It is absolutely terrible for the environment and it financially supports the tech bros who are currently dismantling democracy and decency as we know it.
