Hi, good afternoon and welcome to the John Gaunt podcast coming live today from the planet delusional.

Just why is everybody in public life and in politics so bloody deluded?

And do they think we, the general public, the mushrooms, are so stupid that we believe their BS?

Let's start with Harry Kane and we'll come back to you in a moment.

After that dismal performance last week against Denmark,

he's now saying people should remember what it is to wear the shirt.

In other words, don't criticise me.

I'm only earning millions.

Don't dare pick up me.

Then you've got, of course, the nonsense that's going on

in the Tory party with this betting scandal. I mean, I believe that in politics you should die

on the hill for your beliefs, but I don't think that meant you should die in William Hill,

which is what's going to happen to the Tories.

I love the guy who placed loads of bets, they reckon.

We don't know whether he's guilty or innocent, because there's a probe going on at the moment by this quango.

But why isn't Rishi suspending all of them?

Two of them are MPs or wann of the MPs. Would you vote while

this cloud was over them? I don't think it does anybody any good. We'll come back to that in a moment.

And I'll say it's all about delusion today. The Daily Mail front page screams, Farage is

infected with the virus of Putin. But they didn't make that up. That's Zelinsky's saying that. The boss of Ukraine. Well, he would say that, wouldn't he? Because he's in a war with Russia. But Farage is just saying what he's been saying for many, many years. And also the Daily Mail a bit deluded themselves because their chief columnist, well, the Sunday mail

this is, of course, and it was the Sunday mail this was in today, or the Mail on Sunday,

Peter Hitchens holds similar views on the Ukraine conflict.
