Summary
The Government’s rallying cry to the nation to help fix the NHS via a public consultation has not disappointed. In what is fast becoming the National Health Service’s very own Boaty McBoatface moment, Nish and Coco dissect the wild and weird policy suggestions flooding the website.
Then Jeremy Corbyn, former Labour Party leader and Independent MP for Islington North, joins to tell us how the left can make their voices heard in Parliament and whether a new leftwing political party could be on the horizon.
Later, with the US elections looming, co-host of our sister show Pod Save the World Tommy Vietor calls in to discuss why the Labour party is under fire for sending hundreds of staffers to canvas for the Democrats and what the result next month might mean for US-UK relations.
Finally, Nish and Coco discuss a protest from an Australian Senator who shouted directly into the ears of King Charles, which comes as the Government resists paying reparations - or even apologising for - slavery and the actions of the British Empire.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Pod Save the UK. I'm Coco Khan. |
| 0:05.0 | And I'm Nishkumar and today we're speaking to the independent MP |
| 0:08.0 | for Islington North, Jeremy Corbyn, to understand what's next for the left. |
| 0:11.5 | And later, with US elections looming we're |
| 0:14.0 | joined by co-host of our sister podcast Pod Save the World's Tommy V-Tore to |
| 0:18.4 | discuss what it means for US and UK relations. So the NHS is the government's topic of the week and it's nice to see us focusing |
| 0:27.9 | on reform and policy as opposed to just talking about how everything's getting worse. Prime Minister Kiestarma has declared a once in a generation opportunity |
| 0:36.2 | for the NHS to be reformed and that's great, but the way that they've gone about it |
| 0:40.0 | has struck us as being a little strange. |

| 0:45.7 | announced an open public consultation on the future of the NHS |
| 0:49.7 | and in the grand tradition it makes you so patriotic things got very weird yes I mean in |
| 0:55.8 | something that any of us could have seen happening the proposals that were coming |
| 0:59.4 | in thick and fast were different flavours of nonsense. |

| 1:14.0 | Development of an alchemical panacea |
| 1:17.3 | is an incredible piece of policy. |
| 1:19.5 | I'm not sure anybody would get behind the proposal |
