- The temperature is heating up on the rocket this week, as the whole country basks in a heatwave but is the election shade being thrown threatening to spoil your co-pilots fun in the sun?
Allison spills the beans on her trip to the campaign trail with Reform UK Leader, Nigel Farage and claims that, in her view, a vote for the party isn’t a wasted one.
Whilst Liam is worried about the potential judiciary changes an incoming Labour government might make and the effect they could have on our democracy.
Joining your co-pilots for a return mission on the rocket is journalist Peter Hitchens who gives his take on the political landscape in the week before the big election.
And co-pilot Pearson weighs in with her weekly update from the Euros football tournament…

Churchill said fascists accuse others of being what they are. He was right on the money.
I think Mr Hitchens underestimated how much the conservative voters despised Tories right now.
I'll never vote Tory again. They betrayed brexit and then euthanased (see covid legislation and NHS procedures) via midazolam and mandatory DNRs for over 65s, disabled and those with learning difficulties.
That's also eugenics and will not vote for murderous eugenecists
I don't think so, he understands it because he himself has campaigned for their destruction since 2003. The difference is he understands that voting Labour in, as we have done, will be far worse.
@@SagaciousFrank How could it be worse. The tories are like labor on steroids. With conservatives like these, who need leftists.
We appreciate your insights. Keep working hard.
Dear Peter Hitchens, any sane person would see that the Tories have screwed up the entire country for 14 years. And decide they have to go.
The Tsar screwed up. It doesn't mean Lenin was better. The Shah screwed up. It doesn't mean the Ayatollah was better.
Are the Tories actually using immigration as a reason not to vote Labour?
I don't think that they could do any worse.
Conquest's Laws of Politics
1. Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.
2. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.
3. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.
Brilliant. Love these two
Nigel had no choice, regards the Russia question. It was an accusation Nick Robinson threw at him so as always Nigel told it like it is. Which is why so many of us like him. He tells the truth even when it hurts.
George Soros funded the 2014 coup that was the start of this. Blackrock and Exxon now own the Ukraine.
He’s an incontinent liar
It was 100% truth.
The choice is truth or lies. Good or evil
I choose truth and good
Starmer is winning regardless. A Tory vote just to prevent that is wasted.
Laws can be changed and new laws can have unexpected consequences. A Scottish parliament was meant to lock in labour power in the UK with Scottish MPs and in fact denied them that for more than a decade. And are younger voters given Labour voters? This very podcasts suggests otherwise. Young voter are likely to be more extreme though who can guess in which direction.
I could foresee a future opposition party (Reformed Tory or just Reform) standing on a platform of reforming trans-laws, removing a supreme court, changing devolution and many other things and winning.
Back to pre 1997 normality..
Nigel Farage didn't bring this up! Nick Robinson asked him a question and he answered it honestly. Love him, or hate him, this is what Farage does. (And no, he never promised +£350 million... for the NHS. That was promised by the liar Boris ;-)
This will not play too badly against Nigel with his (expanding) base.
Anyone who watches that interview can see he was asked what Robinson thought would be a gotcha question, and he gave a straight answer, an answer which was wholly consistent with his views on the subject going back at least a decade. Those viewers will instinctively warm to that, while simultaneously contrasting it against the likes of Starmer and his ilk with their lies, equivocations and shameless denials of their past pronouncements, as well as biological facts.
and in the 2018 budget theresa may gave the NHS an additional £394 million per week. the idiots cant tell the difference between the single decker red bus with the pledge and Farage with a double decker Purple bus.
Boris the controlled opposition. Remember him and Gove the next day, standing there facing the media in their black suits like they were at a wake. appolgising for what they had done. Brilliant.
To do right of centre politics in the UK, we would have to reverse the Blair/Brown reforms of 1997-2010, starting with Blair's american Supreme Court and the series of single-issue committees which sit above Parliament and whose decisions squeeze the value of your vote and of mine.
The Reformers are coming!
Peter Hitchens appears to be doing a 'Jeremey Corbyn'. Jeremey Corby remarkably & inexplicably reversed his lifelong opposition to the E.U. (just weeks before the 2016 referendum.)
Peter Hitchens now appears to be doing a similar volte-face over his former opposition to the Tory Party (just as his goal has a real prospect of succeeding.) I left Labour in 2016 because it was woke, authoritarian, & global corporatist; I have now left the Tories for the same reason. I'm voting Reform this time.
I wonder if Peter has been nobbled by his Mail employers ...? How the mighty fall 😔
Who pays his bills? his brother had bottle, but Peter is a tory ambulance chaser.
Corbyn argued that the EU sucked but leaving it might suck more. He might have been right about that.
Just like his opposition to the BoE. and the Rothchilds, oh and nukes.
Brilliant discussion, keep going, keep sane.Thanks.
Great show guys 👍👍👍
The Conservative government should have abolished the Equalities act, the Human Rights Act, the Supreme Court, and left the EHCR. Then they could have done what they should have in government. For those who bleat about Human Rights, what on earth was actually going on ore Human Rights act. All it seems to have done is make it very hard to deport dangerous foreign criminals, whole doing nothing to preserve the freedom of expression it claims to.
Only Reform can give British youth a bright future.🙂
I totally understand Peter’s position. But sometimes your heart rules and for good reason.
Come on Reform! 💪🏻🇬🇧
Only Reform represents the British working class people.
Vote Reform to save Britain
🙂
No analysis, alternative and just managing the labour settlement. Hitchens sums up cons in a sentence.
Labour fix the vote.

reform reform reform
Vote Reform UK...
*NIGEL!*
Keep digging
Find it hard to believe labour will be in for 20 years , people will eventually get fed up with whichever party is in government and then vote for anyone but that party.
Indeed, they will be fed up. But Labour has ways of ensuring that, even so, it stays in office.
As much as I love listening to the Hitch the younger , great observer and orator of English political history , he like so many critiques never proffer any solutions , without doubt the credibility scale puts Farage as the most tangible option , but Peters previous remarks and personal dislike for him wont let those words merge from his lips

Who is this woman, she's great! Smart and funny.
I don't usually bother listening to woman talking politics due to horrible prejudice against myself in the past from left wing and lib dem women.
Im voting for the Man with charisma and a personality and policies that make good common sense Im voting Reform and Not for the damps wrags of Labour and the Tories. Lets have some radical change in this country and a return to normality after years of woke crap from the others. lets get Nigel into Number 10 this year not in 5 years time. lets Not let Labour drag this country down any further, the time to start the recovery is now.
I wish Peter Hitchens didn't produce a shrill whistle every time he pronounces the letter 's'. Severely irritating!!
Hitchens is all over X getting basic maths wrong. being ahead of the tories, a vote for the tories is a labour enabler vote NOT the Reform vote.
it was most of the West and Muslim countries helping or it was good by Israel the Apartheid State
No thanks algorithim
Planet right wing crank
Tories are a history book party.

The equalities act was our only defence against the totalitarian autocracy that was the COVID legislation and disregard for individual sovereignty and right to decide what happened to their own bodies.
I want to keep it because I can guarantee any replacement would remove yet more freedoms

It allowed us to be exempt from the covid tyranny. Think twice about removing that right.

The thought of a Labour government,particularly with a large majority,is an appalling prospect.Peter Hitchen's analysis has alot to commend it and therefore his advise should be followed.
We are all voting Green in Norwich!!!! ❎❎❎❎❎❎
