And then she says she changed her approach to PMQ’s because her questions were too smart for listeners 🀣🀣

Great interview Iain. Kent Badenoch is unbelievably unimpressive, she’s contradicted herself multiple times (the leak was both putting people in danger and not!), and called for politicians to have more power to sack civil servants which feels like a sure fire way to politicise the civil service.

This is incredible news. I joined the Green Party after listening to you debate. There is a huge chasm on the anti-establishment left that needs filling to fight reform and to bring disillusioned Labour ex-Labour voters (like me). I think you can be the person to achieve this, good luck!!

She’s genuinely the most online politician I’ve ever come across.

You know her opinions before she says anything, just check the mad world of right wing twitter.

Previous generations may have suffered hardship but pre the breaking of the social contract there was light at the end of the tunnel. Many in higher ed during Covid will be living with parents for years to come - my view is if you restore the social contract you will see that β€˜resilience’ build

Absolutely love @iaindale.bsky.social’s new podcast, full of robust but respectful debate.

Totally agree with Iain’s point RE younger generation lacking resilience but think there’s more context needed. This generation is full of nihilism, no prospect of home ownership or an easy life.

Mad people have always said mad things. But never before have they had such power and such a big platform. The big MAGA podcasters and personalities out in force blaming Zelenskyy for the Russia waged on him.

These people are working for putin. Spreading the truth has never been so important.

Those who said Starmer was just demonstrating "diplomacy."

These are the inevitable consequences of appeasing a fascist.

A total own goal from Starmer as he has totally unnecessarily offered him a state visit.

How well have these β€˜smart political moves’ aged?

Either he uses his β€˜good relationship’ right now to bring trump around to supporting peace and putting his ego aside, or this β€˜clever political game’ was worthless and an exercise in ego

Genuine madness. Every interview he does should start with β€˜how did you not foresee this when you vocally supported trump’

People like Jenrick and the reform lads should never stop being reminded who they supported during the election.

None of this was unforeseen. Trump said it all before winning.

It is a success, if he uses the bond he has to improve the outcome for Ukraine.

If not, what’s all the kiss-ass diplomacy for?

Trump is a thin skinned bully. He has stopped peace talks because Zelensky wasn’t β€˜thankful’ enough about the USA.

Keir Starmer has spent time and capital forming a good relationship with trump.

He uses it to support Ukraines cause ASAP or it all means nothing. #trump #starmer #ukraine

Yep, and whilst Labour are more progressive than the conservatives, the political and physical climate we are in requires radical change, particularly with reform rising as a populist force

Thanks Zack! Excited to get involved. The conversation was really uplifting and motivating!

Novara FM: The Green Party vs Something New w/ James Schneider and Zack Polanski Novara Media Β· Episode

Just listened to this brilliant conversation involving @zackpolanski.bsky.social

It inspired me to join the Greens. They are the party that can create radical societal change.

I’ve been a Labour Party for years, now resigned the the fact they won’t provide the degree of change needed. Listen up!

Laura K’s questions seem squarely developed to try and create a diplomatic rift between the US and UK #BBClaurak

Enhancing Exercise Performance with Sodium Bicarbonate A supplement so cheap and simple that you can find it in the baking section in Sainsbury's. Today I explore how bicarb can be used to enhance performance.

In this weeks Substack I looked at a review on Sodium bicarbonate in endurance performance and recovery.

Fascinating supplement with a lot of recent interest due to the Maurten bicarbonate method, many athletes currently using!

@nickferrarilbc.bsky.social it is not prayer there banned, it’s protest. Please don’t let people misinform your listeners.

It’s nothing close to β€˜thought crime’ the prayer is used as protest in a place that’s illegal to protest in order to protect women #lbc

Nick Ferrari having one of the most tasteless phone ins I’ve ever heard on LBC right now.

Caller currently saying trans ideology is being taught instead of Christianity at schools.

How many people have been red pilled online… and no pushback. Disappointing. #LBC

And note, the same people that shout the word sovereignty every time they find their way onto TV, absolute silence.

People staying quiet now have to be held to account. It seems Trump wants a Russian stooge in place, the future of Ukraine and other neighbouring countries under severe threat.

He has been fully radicalised. I thought the term β€˜post truth’ had been overused over the last few years, but he and his tribe are living a different (false) reality.

Very worrying when the most powerful man in the world has been red pilled. We have 4 years of this.

Matt Goodwin β€ͺsupporting Trump giving into Putin. How much of Britain’s territory would be surrender?

This is chamberlain esq appeasement from the Tory. The war doesn’t stop until Putin loses, that is how he works. Appeasement means war continues. ‬#bbcqt

The first question time question is about Rachael Reeves’ CV, is this programme for real?

Not like there are serious issues in the world…

I’ll be honest, I never bothered listening when she was on. She already gets far too much media airtime 🀣🀣
