Summary
Populism, Immigration, Farage & Why the Public Is Ignored.
Farage #Starmer #Brexit #Politics #Immigration #Populism #UKNews
Politicians only care about our opinions when there's an election—but the rest of the time, they ignore us.
From Brexit and immigration to fuel allowance cuts and D-Day disrespect, voters feel unheard. Populism isn’t a dirty word—it means listening to the people. Yet the political elite continue to talk down to us while pushing slick slogans and ignoring real-life struggles.
Keir Starmer’s approval is sinking. Rishi Sunak lost support over patriotism. The rise of Nigel Farage shows the people are looking for someone who actually listens.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, good evening, welcome to the John Gant podcast. |
| 0:05.6 | I've got a bit of deja vu. |
| 0:07.0 | I've already done one show. |
| 0:08.2 | If you haven't watched it, go and get it now. |
| 0:11.0 | But if politicians listen to us, what today has proved is we wouldn't be in this mess. |
| 0:18.7 | What a massive day for British politics. |
| 0:22.1 | Starma started talking about immigration this morning, migration and the rest of it. |
| 0:28.5 | And now it's all kicked off. |
| 0:30.9 | Usual suspects have come out against his plans. |
| 0:34.2 | His plans are nonsense. |
| 0:35.6 | I'm not even going to go through them line by line. It's a |
| 0:39.1 | complete and utter joke. But what's it, it is illustrated to me today is that politicians |
| 0:46.2 | only listen to us when there's an election. But do you know what? If they actually listen to us |

| 1:05.0 | The rest of the year, we're ignored, we're shut out and were talked down to because we're the plebs. |
| 1:12.8 | But maybe, just maybe, if they actually listened to what ordinary people were saying, |
| 1:18.8 | we wouldn't be facing half the problems we've got now. |
| 1:22.4 | For example, let's take Brexit, whether you agreed with it or not, for years, the political class, all parties brushed it away, treated the public, |
| 1:33.0 | me and you, like we didn't know what we were talking about. |
