Summary

Had a late guest drop out, which gave me the chance to get stuck into some fairly big news stories which have broke since last week. From Trump bombing Iran's nuclear facilities to Starmer seemingly not having a view either way. From bad economic news to Farage robbing the rich to feed the poor. I also discuss the BBC News presenter bold enough to correct some language around pregnancy. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

What Most Impulse?

0:04.1

Hello and welcome to a fast-moving political world to say the bleeding least.

0:23.2

I mean, Jesus. I mean, look, it is just us today because I had a guest drop out. But I'm recording this

0:29.0

Tuesday at 20 past three. And it's probably not the worst thing in the world because there is so much

0:34.7

to catch up on the bombing of Iran or is it right we they've

0:39.3

changed the way they pronounce it they that sometimes happened in news doesn't it remember when

0:43.0

Kiev went to Kiev although we always called it Iran now you call people Iranians okay bombing of

0:48.0

the Iranian nuclear facility uh then there was a ceasefire early on Tuesday, a surprise ceasefire. Then it was not a

0:55.6

ceasefire. Then Donald Trump was swearing live on the news about the fact that Israel and Iran

1:01.8

appeared to have broken the ceasefire. So all that's been going off. But I want to focus today

1:06.6

on the UK role in what's been happening, lack of it or lack of any any defidable position

1:13.3

I mean it was almost like perfect care starboard we'll get right into it but essentially his position

1:18.1

was that it's wrong and it's right and there was more bad economic news as well in terms of the

1:32.6

I don't know if you saw this.

1:34.2

Martin Coxell, I think that's her name.

1:36.3

I'll double check.

1:37.1

She corrected a bit of language around pregnancy in a way that I think gender critical people

1:42.1

might have appreciated.

1:43.5

And in the Patreon only, Nigel, Nigel, he's got a policy, hasn't it? I don't know if you've seen about this, the Robin Hood Tax. So we'll be speaking about that in the Patreon only. There's just so much to talk about this week. I, at the moment, I am on vapors. I'm on vapors, as I say, it's Monday today. I've had to pull out of a couple.

2:01.4

No, it's not Monday. This is the problem. I've had to pull out of a couple of things on Wednesday because I've just, I've overdone it. I've overdone it. I gig like I was doing work all last week, gig Saturday night, in lay, up on Sunday. Yes, I have got out the tiny violin, up on Sunday umpired two, I coached two of my son's cricket teams games.
