  • Dugmore

    Please, please, please, get rid of this idiot Dugmore. This awful person makes the whole thing totally unbearable. He’s completely out of his depth intellectually, adds nothing to the conversation, and delivers every line with nauseating millennial leftist smugness. Send him back to the ‘Politics Joe’ ghetto!

  • Mutiny in the Labour Party episode

    Truly, how preposterous was this discussion…bored half way thru..summed up when Ailbhe discussing those in contention for Lab leadership..after a long ridiculous list (loise haigh FFS) said “ have I missed anyone”..this “discussion “ ,seriously,was the absolute nadir of useless tittle tattle…it’ll be a while before I engage with it again

  • Sponsorship by British Soft Drinks Association?

    Generally great show but bizarre to accept promotional interview from a trade body representing one of the most damaging industries for the health of our nation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeremy Corbyn: “I’m sorry” for Your Party’s messy launch
Q: Did you ever see yourself doing something like this, setting up a new party?
I hoped to have won elections and that the Labour Party would recognize that the policies we put forward were popular. I never envisaged this ever happening, and I will never be silenced.
Jeremy Corbyn: “I’m sorry” for Your Party’s messy launch
Q: What are your aims with it?
A voice that unites people. It is a voice for the left. It is a voice for economic justice, public ownership of utilities, and measure itself against elimination of child poverty and environmental sustainability.
Jeremy Corbyn: “I’m sorry” for Your Party’s messy launch
Q: Why do you want to give an interview today?
Because you asked me to. I'm very happy to talk about political issues, the ways of the world, and I'm very, very angry with the government over their statement on asylum seekers and refugees and immigration.
How much does immigration actually matter to the public?
Q: How do salience and importance differ in public opinion regarding immigration?
Salience refers to how front of mind an issue is, while importance relates to its actual impact on daily life. Immigration is often salient but not as important as issues like cost of living.
How much does immigration actually matter to the public?
Q: What really matters to the public?
Based on recent polling, immigration is top of mind for many voters, but issues like cost of living are more crucial to their day-to-day lives.
