Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast, the Lotus for Friday the 5th of September 2025.

I am joined by Nick Anne Ferris, and today we are going to be talking about how Sadiq Khan has given the game away with his state resources for Muslim speech,

how we are going to witness the rise of Gammonzilla in the near future, and they are terrified of it, and because of their terror, the deportations are coming. This is all just generally good news, I think. Like the Wittan the other day, right? I was doing the Q&A, and I was like, two years ago, I came around, and I gave a speech in which I pointed out, we don't act like we're inevitable at this point. We're kind of acting like we want this to happen, but we don't think it is actually going to happen. And I asked everyone, okay, put your hand up now if you think this is absolutely happening. And everyone was just like, yeah, no, the right is inevitable at this point. the left is completely collapsed. In fact, speaking of

collapsing, we've got some breaking news that we're going to break with. Angela Rainer has

resigned because of her housing tax code issue, which actually makes a really good, great point

about how complex things are. If even the housing minister can get sunk by the housing tax code,

maybe that needs to be sorted out, Keir Stama. But also, Labor's Investment Minister,

Poppy Gustafson, who's a member of Rachel Reeves's treasury team, has resigned as well. So this is

like, oh, dominoes falling. Mate, 2025 election, I'm telling you. I would love it. It's happening. I would absolutely love it.

Let's get Farage out of the way.

Anyway, like I said, we're going to be starting with Sidique Khan giving the game away. Before we begin, we've got lads out this afternoon, and it's the lads out that everyone has been waiting for. We all got our DNA tests. there are my ancestors unironically actually

Whereas I'm so English I've we all got our DNA tests. There are my ancestors, unironically, actually.

Whereas I'm so English, I broke the test.

Just as white as possible.

Whereas you're sort of a global citizen, really.

At least a quarter of me is a global citizen.

But we'll cover that on Ladsdow on Lodacistice.com.

So come over and find us there.

But right, without further ado, let's begin.

Yep.

And please go ahead and buy an issue of the Islander magazine.
