MONSTER episode! This is what happens without @mrkennycampbell.bsky.social there to signal "wrap it up" to @pimlicat.bsky.social and me.

Includes why the new German Chancellor-elect is trying to raise his credit limit by HALF A TRILLION EUROS.

Also, me trying to pronounce Greenlandic party names.

We're here for the long form. If you have someone as brilliant as Annette on, then take as long as you need.

Is you saying that you and @pimlicat.bsky.social can bang on a bit by any chance? 🤭😬🤣

Tbf your combined 'banging on' is nearly always worth listening to

(P.S. 'Nearly' because there is always room for improvement in life!)

Keep on keeping on folks!

When we do domestic politics I can't help myself.

Tbh a pleasant change from Trump

Not a problem with me. I was gently teasing!

The Welsh coverage a week or so back was a good piece of work. Flying solo can sometimes work better - as also seen when Alex has done that

Variety is the spice of life!

Well done both! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Really hope someone from Labour HQ listened to the discussion on govt comms. You absolutely nail the problem that needs fixing asap. If us politics nerds don't know why they are doing what they are doing then normals have no chance.

Successive British Goverments have threatened to make it illegal to boycott Israel. #wato

Might have to increase the listening speed up from x1.25 to x1.5 😮

Just wild listening to @annettedittert.bsky.social say the UK is too centralised while Starmer is making the NHS even more centralised.

Labour need to start explaining "stuff" & do some basic politics.
Farmers tax is now that because Labour did not say every day We are closing a tory tax loophole for wealthy landowners & giving them a discount into the bargain!
When Germany says A---->B, they generally do it. Refreshing.

It was really good,…, actually.

85 minutes! But I'm all in for the election insights abt Greenland and Runcorn. 2025, what a ride.

This is like apologising for giving us more ice cream. We love ice cream!
