Hear hear. She kept such a calm, professional manner. A masterclass. Mr Gorka is an ignorant bully whose true colours were well and truly shown in the interview.

10. All this is supposed to promote economic growth, which appears to be Labour’s sole remaining principle. Trashing the living world to stimulate growth is like sacrificing virgins to secure a good harvest: it’s cruel, ignorant and ineffective. If anything, it will have the opposite effect.

Why does the term ‘winning’ have any relevance to this judgement? It is very sad that society has been reduced to thinking in terms of winners and losers. Humanity needs to be better than that. Oh and, for what it’s worth, I totally support the concept of women only spaces .

Yep. The US administration say they want peace in Ukraine, that they will stop the war; yet I hear not one word of condemnation from them when Russia blatantly escalate their attacks. Remind me again who is the aggressor here?

5/ Let's make sure this now happens.
You can write to Minister Pennycook saying you strongly support these plans - and urge the Govt and Land Registry to act on them swiftly.

Agreed, difficult balancing act but cutting the aid budget to spend more on defence seems totally counter-intuitive to me. However, this resignation has been handled very respectfully on both sides. Good to see.

Insightful, relevant, informed and sobering. I listened to his interview with James Naughtie, the current American administration should heed his words.

I don’t know why broadcasters bother with PP at all, she never gives a straight answer and resorts to insults, anything rather than answer perfectly reasonable questions.
