Summary

In case you’re wondering how things are going in Britain after 12 years of Tory hell, here’s a snapshot: Nurses and ambulance drivers are on strike so the government have block booked taxis to take people to hospital, which isn’t ideal for obvious reasons but also means far fewer taxis will be available at a time when rail strikes mean you also can’t get a train. The country is basically grinding to a halt... Oh, and in a bid to feel truly Victorian, we’re opening a coal mine. However, in this episode we focus on the battle of who cares most about Harry & Meghan's Netflix doc, a weird comment from James Cleverly, Starmer's remarks on Gareth Southgate, and there's a bit of cringe from Matt Hancock.

1:01.5	okay, but if you're really fed up with that, let's just do really quick reminder.
1:07.5	Just a little reminder, 34,000 nurses have left the NHS this year alone. That tells me they're
