Hello and welcome to this breaking news episode of what most people think.

0:13.5

And it has been, well, a very busy show since the main show earlier this week with Simon Evans.

0:18.6

I mean, so I was going into London on Wednesday,

0:21.5

and I'd completely forgotten that there was a farmer's march. And I was at the train station. I don't know if you had the same experience yourself on public transport. I was thinking, there are lots of people here wearing wax jackets. A lot of people. Then I started thinking, is something weird, themed stack do, but there are women here as well. Women women all had amazing hair, but incredibly waxy jackets, caps and stuff. And I thought maybe it's like a mass casting for a Guy Ritchie film. I don't know, but then I remember that, of course, it's the farmers' protest. It was the farmers, Starma, Farmer Harmer. I mean, that gives you is going to be hamstrung by all the things that his name rhymes with. What was it? They're calling Rachel Reeves this week, Rachel Thieves. But it was good to see well-dressed people in London. I have to say once I got there. And it was, you know, thankfully, a protest where they took away their own rubbish. I look, I don't care what you're protesting, whether it be wars or your gender or your pronoun.

1:12.8

Just take a fucking rubbish with you, please.

1:13.9

And they did that.

1:14.6

But, you know, we haven't got, this is a quick pint catch up, all right? is the problem labour up against with farmers is that they're naturally liked, aren't they? Farm,

1:34.9

good word, farm shop, good word, tractors, people like tractors. Old McDonald had a farm. Well,

1:39.2

had might be the operative word there, because it might be past tense because of Labor's inheritance tax. Look, I do get that there is an argument that Labor are making here that has been

1:44.6

sort of drowned out. And, you know, there is still a big allowance that people can pass on.

1:49.8

But there's also the reality that whatever that is, it's still less good than it was before.

1:55.6

And that's where the anger comes from. It's the same with pensioners. Labor have gone in

1:59.0

with these huge groups of sort of well-liked

2:01.7

and powerful people and they've gone in two-footed and they're sort of like well you still got there

2:05.8

isn't you still you still get to keep your house you can you can still watch a bargain hunt

2:10.7

you know to the pensioners and you can yeah but it's still not as good as it was before and then no

2:14.8

everyone understands there's a deficit. No one wants to be the

2:18.8
