Hey

For the second year running my most listened to podcast is PPF.

Merry Christmas and here's to a (hopefully but unlikely) more peaceful 2026.

If Israel had a majoritarian system instead of using the national list, it's highly unlikely that characters such as Smotrich or Ben Gvir would be anywhere near government.

PR can increase the chance of radicals gaining access to power.

Giles Coren is the answer if the new programme is called MasterTwat.

Congratulations and best wishes.

It's a flawed film but had some impressive aspects. Andy Garcia was fabulous in it (Sofia Coppola less so, admittedly).

Sundae Bloody Sundae.

Good to see you back.

Stephen was referring to Russia.

There remains no room for complacency, however. Further economic stagnation and/or political headwinds might make more consider the AfD. The new government will have to work fast and smart.

Trump had the media and the tech bros in his pocket during the campaign. Nothing would come out then.

Here is what my podcast provider tells me is my top podcast listening of 2024.

Allister Heath?

He's been losing the plot for a while now.

Possibly a case of no FT, no comment?

"ok Kemi, let's try again shall we, if Keir has 412 seats, and you have 121 seats, what are the chances he's going to call an election"
