It absolutely warms my heart for the first accent I hear from a Labour minister post election is hers. (And I say this as someone who sounds a lot like Rory.)
They're always good to start with. Unfortunately, in 10 years time, we will be down to the dregs just like with New Labour in 2007 and the Tories post-Brexit.
What a superb interview, Alistair and Rory have that wonderful empathy that makes interviewees open up and reveal themselves more than just on a political level, Lisa Nandy is a star of the present Government and if the rest of the cabinet has her commitment then we are in good hands. Well done, can we have the rest of the cabinet over the upcoming months
Well Alastair does. For Rory it depends if they talk about inequality too much or not, then he gets defensive about groans on about "class warfare". Rory only likes her because he thinks she's some sort of secret member of the upper class, hence why he went on about her Lord grandfather and at the end said he thinks she's more interested in things like classical music than she lets on 🙄
Amazing woman and political figure. Lisa Nandy really understands and gets to the heart of what government should be. Not only that, but she has the ability to convey the issues in a down to earth and yet intelligent manner. It's time for her to shine as potentially one of the great leaders of our country.
Excellent podcast!!! And what great people the Starmer cabinet has!!! A hurricane of fresh air, a sea change...the best that the UK can be is now there for all to see. This is what the British people are all about, their best, and in the world of politics, but also in the world of the humanities...
Another brilliant interview, this is exactly what we need to have with our politicians in government - proper debates and the backstories of the people running the country. Lisa seems to be keen and very open about everything, safe to say I have more confidence in Media and Culture within government off the back of this interview. I imagine the TRIP team is doing all they can to get interviews with the current cabinet but this is exactly what I, and I think other young people, need from the government - understanding. I believe that, currently, politics is something that people have to go out of their way to research as if it is a hobby, when really it impacts us all, and I think younger people like myself feel that there’s too much to know about to understand things fully. These interviews piece things together in a casual, conversational manner and I really appreciate it. Thanks again for another great podcast, looking forward to see what Lisa will do in office
What a wonderfully quick, perceptive, and down-to-earth person Nandy is! So many older politicians don’t have half of her maturity and perspective, and she also has great energy and enthusiasm. This is so hopeful.
A great interview and really interesting insights into Starmer's style. Can't say I've always particularly liked Lisa Nandy but this really changed my mind :)
To paraphrase Andrew Marr, for the first time Britain has a state-educated cabinet with a core principle of secular scientism. In the current global political climate, the U.K. is a lone rare flower, blooming in a desert of poo. I feel unjustly proud of my former country,, and wish this government nothing but the best.
Lisa is our MP and I’ve never heard her talk about her past. I’ve always respected her work ethic but never knew her background. She walks the walk. Great to see her in Government at last.
Yay Saga. What a milestone. You have overcome and you have come through the stress. And Chris is still with you. And you are right there is a time for everything under the sun. It's my cat's birthday today. She is 17 years old. I know what you felt when you lost and found your cat because it happened to me. I never cried so much when I found her.
I have a lot of respect for Lisa, she did a great job in the Hustings for Labour leader back in the leadership contest. She understands Brexit and the disenfranchisement of uk towns. She has the keys to change.
Not to be rude but... Her grandfather was a liberal MP, has a life peer, and was a member of the privy council... But yet she joked that Rory would have been more likely to feel like he belonged (or likely to to become an MP) in the house of commons.
Alastair- I wish you had mentioned Robbie Gibb and his HUGE influence he has on Political and News output at the BBC & how bias they have become under him being on the BBC board
A UK politician with talent, all that goes with that: coherent, well read, handles debate etc. Miles ahead of the tory gagle who could not put an argument together. Hope all, the other Labour MP's have the same qualities: repair UK governance.
I campaigned for Lisa when she stood for the leadership of the party. She has always been defiantly inclusive, and unfortunately the various extremes have condemned her for it: some of the social media has been disgraceful. So proud she is still here, defiantly inclusive and determined to speak for her constituents and the people of this country.
Well, dang, what an amazing interview and amazing political person. I knew brits had compromise in them (unlike americans, it seems). Keep it up, and find ways to cooperate with your fellow Europeans, and we'll all be stronger!
Give her a glass of water ffs haha great to hear Lisa speak so openly. And totally agree with Campbell, Rory has probably never felt imposter syndrome in his life haha
Her answer on why former Tories should consider voting Labour was by far the most persuasive of the Labour figures they've had on. Will be interested to see if they deliver on that promise.
Being honest, I'll admit, I didn't think much of Lisa before this interview, but, I have completely changed my view. Think you will a great asset for our government, you seem to already have a firm grasp of how to be culture sec, and I am confident you can do the role well. Go get em!
Lisa worked hard to save Wigan Athletic from extinction last year. While not local, she's been a great representative for our town and she's a perfect appointment to oversee sporting matters
I love Lisa Nandy as a person. A real classy lady who is a credit to the Labour party. Would be great to see her as leader of the party in the future. Also I think highly of Rory too. Would like to see him re-enter politics as a Lib Dem member and get that London Mayor job he wants.
Keep your beating heart and soul on promoting the Arts too. Only the last 10 mins on music, arts and the theatre. Look how that PO drama at last got the focus and the action on that dreadful episode of miscarriage of justice. Press your colleague Bridget to get music and performance arts accessible in every school. Set that framework within your ‘Culture‘ brief. Yes. Please wax lyrical about the theatre and get those musicians on tour again. Get the arts properly funded. What a brilliant episode here. Well done all.
I do not think that Sir Keir Starmer will tolerate any dissent. I think that Nandy is vulnerable. Long-Bailey, Thornberry and Phillips have not thrived. He may well axe her after a year.
inb4 2019 Corbyn ultras say they're all the same. Nandy is a class act and very glad to have her in a position which will affect something so important to this country - culture.
One of the best, down to earth interviews I've heard with a current cabinet minister. Great watch

@@requiem1723 Her and Angela Rayner-the Manchester posse in the Cabinet😊😊
(From a Scouser x)
What an amazingly articulate, positive and hopeful person Lisa Nandy is. I was so impressed with someone so refreshingly honest and passionate.
Did you see her behaviour towards Jo Bird. She was aggressive and defensive.
You can tell that Rory just absolutely adores Lisa 😂
I'm a couple minutes in and so far Rory looks like he could be on molly :D
It's so odd, you get the feeling that they sort of accidentally ended up in different parties, just because he's posh and she isn't.
Rory and Lisa, sitting in a tree,

And that Lisa can't stand Alistair
I am increasingly in awe of the calibre of Labour's team. I wish them well, in a difficult time!

Lisa Nandy will be an excellent member of parliament, thought provoking well informed woman.
One of the best hours I have spent listening to a very intersting Minister and two very able journalists
So much darkness in the world. Tonight you three did something to give hope. Thank you.
Would you do a leading conversation interview with her father. Sounds like he would have a very interesting story to tell.
Totally agree, I’d be very interested to hear from him
MP Nandy was one of the best most engaging and rational guests you have had on! Please invite her back!!!!👏👏👏👏
I think that Jess Phillips would be an equally interesting, engaging guest for Alistair and Rory.
It’s so strange to have the adults in charge again. Lovely interview. 👍
I think she’s excellent. The more people we have like her in government, the better.
She's emblematic of all the toxicity she speaks of.
@@TejSingh-xj3ux Troll. Go away.
@@Veni_Vidi_Vortice Of course, any criticism of the cult and you're labelled a "Troll" - guess the 'grown ups' are back in charge right!
What a fantastic interview! Lisa is amazing. She's a real asset to the new government. And A and R did a great job.
Excellent podcast!!! And what great people the Starmer cabinet has!!! A hurricane of fresh air, a sea change...the best that the UK can be is now there for all to see. This is what the British people are all about, their best, and in the world of politics, but also in the world of the humanities...
Billy Boston is, of course, Welsh. Love Lisa Nandy. I could listen to her speak on the country's issues all day.
and learned his trade in 'union' rugby

She’s the real deal. Really like her! 🤗🙏🏾
A great interview and really interesting insights into Starmer's style. Can't say I've always particularly liked Lisa Nandy but this really changed my mind :)
Same here
GOSH, what a great down to Earth lady!!! IWISH YOU THE VERY, VERY BEST!!!!!
I always thought Lisa Nandy was great on This Week. Great to see her in Government.
I voted for Lisa when Corbyn became party leader. She speaks so much sense. This was a terrific and v enjoyable interview.🤗🌷
Do you mean Starmer? She ran for leader in 2020.
@@pete456113 oops🫢 You’re right. I supported Yvette Cooper that time🤗
One of the best interviews
What a great interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lisa is great and an excellent ambassador of my original home town of Wigan.
I just love your podcasts, they are blended with eloquent discussion and amazing insights..
Another excellent interview on the world's best political podcast.
🎉❤
Thank you again for allowing your guests personality and enthusiasm to show through, looking forward to a positive change for the UK
Very interesting discussions . Lisa comes over very well & I wish her every success 🎉
A very convincing orator
Lisa is our MP and I’ve never heard her talk about her past. I’ve always respected her work ethic but never knew her background. She walks the walk. Great to see her in Government at last.
One of the best people and polititians we have. Well done Lisa. Enjoyed watching this.
Great interview. A breath of fresh air.
Yippee! What a treat to see an intelligent, down to earth, funny woman as a cabinet member!
What a great interview. I'm feeling so hopeful for this government.
Great interview but my favourite bit was the background music trying to play Rory off at the end and failing miserably
Always liked lisa nandy, a very down to earth mp. Always comes across as a human being.
Yay Saga. What a milestone. You have overcome and you have come through the stress. And Chris is still with you. And you are right there is a time for everything under the sun. It's my cat's birthday today. She is 17 years old. I know what you felt when you lost and found your cat because it happened to me. I never cried so much when I found her.
This is the best one i have watched. Nandy is very good and likeable, almost as much as her hosts. Good work!
I don't live in Wigan anymore (but have family that do) and I'm very pleased Lisa is the local MP.
What a superb interview and performance by Lisa; she was so interesting and enlightening with her views. I can see why Rory is so taken with her.
What an absolutely great young woman!!!🎉🎉
I have a lot of respect for Lisa, she did a great job in the Hustings for Labour leader back in the leadership contest. She understands Brexit and the disenfranchisement of uk towns. She has the keys to change.
What a fascinating person!
Not to be rude but... Her grandfather was a liberal MP, has a life peer, and was a member of the privy council... But yet she joked that Rory would have been more likely to feel like he belonged (or likely to to become an MP) in the house of commons.
...so what? How do you know how she felt whilst growing up? Rory has said that he always wanted to be a MP
Life peerages aren't hereditary; don't try and put her into the aristocracy.
What an excellent interview. Lisa comes across as so articulate and down to earth, it’s so refreshing to have somebody like her in government.
She makes one proud
What an amazing woman in her own right, with a fascinating background too. Great pod!
100%!!!!
This was so candid ❤
She is just amazing
Alastair- I wish you had mentioned Robbie Gibb and his HUGE influence he has on Political and News output at the BBC & how bias they have become under him being on the BBC board

What a great interview. So glad I helped vote this government in. For now. No free passes they have to deliver for the country.
Excellent interview, refreshing.

She has always been defiantly inclusive, and unfortunately the various extremes have condemned her for it: some of the social media has been disgraceful. So proud she is still here, defiantly inclusive and determined to speak for her constituents and the people of this country.
What a fantastic interviewee
Lovely interview. Lisa is just lovely and wholesome. I'm so glad we've got people like her in our cabinet and not people like say Braverman ffs!
Well, dang, what an amazing interview and amazing political person. I knew brits had compromise in them (unlike americans, it seems). Keep it up, and find ways to cooperate with your fellow Europeans, and we'll all be stronger!
Give her a glass of water ffs haha great to hear Lisa speak so openly. And totally agree with Campbell, Rory has probably never felt imposter syndrome in his life haha
Her grandad was a lord 🤣
At least Rory owns who he is
Incredibly personable, humble, serious, competent, and lighthearted. Seems like a perfect person for the job ahead!
Great job!
A very good interview. Her background has lead her to a great place to deliver real responsible government.
Listening to Lisa confirms why labour are in power 👍
Fantastic .... I wish her luck
Ironic to say Starmer wants a cabinet that challenges him when anyone in his party that does gets the sack suspended or driven out of the party
That was a great interview. From the part of the world, I was born 82 years ago.😅
Lisa and Rory where 2 of the best MPs during Brexit.
She is brilliant
Excellent interview! Immensely impressive new minister. What a breath of fresh air.
Lisa is not only lovely but sounds incredibly proud! She’ll go far
Her answer on why former Tories should consider voting Labour was by far the most persuasive of the Labour figures they've had on. Will be interested to see if they deliver on that promise.
What a class act she is
A breath of the fresh air.
i neeeeeeeed lisa's dad on this podcast. please.
Yes 100%
How weird it feels he hear someone that's a government minister but also really nice and funny 😂. I immediately found myself liking her.
Wish we had politicians like this in Australia.
Being honest, I'll admit, I didn't think much of Lisa before this interview, but, I have completely changed my view. Think you will a great asset for our government, you seem to already have a firm grasp of how to be culture sec, and I am confident you can do the role well. Go get em!
Lisa worked hard to save Wigan Athletic from extinction last year. While not local, she's been a great representative for our town and she's a perfect appointment to oversee sporting matters
I absolutely agree with Campbell when he says that unless we sort some of the Brexit mess, we won't achieve growth.
Lets hope Lisa is able to delivery ,despite everyones best efforts to avoid change . See Rorys narrative on government systems incompetence
I'm a very old rugby league fan, thumbs-up about Billy Boston and Lisa Nandy. HKR fan.

Class.😻❤️🙏
Discuss the forde report with corbyn please
Lucky to call her my local MP, it’s a shame she gets so much hate in my town from some people 😢
“Trying to police what is said or is not said is completely inappropriate” - “I want to make sure voices from all parts of the country are heard.”
Yet my comment was removed from the channel !
Those two sentences are not even remotely linked?? Not even sure what point you’re trying to make
Rory is so dogged in his pursuit of the minutiae of her first hours and days of being in office. One really senses how much he wants to be in power!
I do not think that Sir Keir Starmer will tolerate any dissent. I think that Nandy is vulnerable. Long-Bailey, Thornberry and Phillips have not thrived. He may well axe her after a year.
My favourite politician 😊
