- Budget
Really enjoyed today’s budget episode. Fun way of doing a chaotic lead up to a big moment for Rachel Reeves!!! If Sunak’s health and social care levy and stuck around, I wonder if there would be an easier way for Reeves to get away with it as you say…

United Kingdoma month ago - Inept
Really good if you want to hear how inept government is and how their media and think tanks are locked in this useless ecosystem of fecklessness. It’s just on a repeat cycle.
Apple Podcasts1Niky_NoodlesUnited Kingdom4 months ago - Anne McElvoy is not a journalist
Anne McElvoy “interviewing” reform is only missing the balloons and party blowers she was silently blowing in her head.

Don’t have reform on and give them such an easy ride, it’s almost negligent.
Apple Podcasts1Niky_NoodlesUnited Kingdom6 months ago - Cowards or extremists?
That Maurice Glasman exclusive is a perfect example of how the British media are facilitating the rise of fascism. This isn’t journalism, this is extremist propaganda. Anne McElvoy & the Westminster Insider team should be hanging their heads in utter shame.
