Summary
It's the aftermath of the US Presidential Election and there are lots of questions.
Did Trump win or did the Democrats lose?
What do Trump's first appointments tell us about what to expect from his administration?
Will the next four years totally redefine the US?
What impact will a Trump Presidency have on Europe and the UK?
The reaction to the events before and after the Maccabi Tel Aviv v Ajax football match in Amsterdam laid bare the thrall in which the vast majority of the media and almost all world political leaders are held by the pro Israel lobby. We discuss.
Stephen Flynn has announced that he's put his name forward to stand as an MSP in 2026. How significant a decision is this ?
We're also joined by special guest Max Wiszniewski, Campaigns Manager for REVIVE to talk about last weekend's The Big Land Question Conference co-hosted by Lesley and actor David Hayman.

| 0:00.0 | A week after Donald Trump's shock election victory in the presidential elections, |
| 0:05.1 | we look at the fallout, the appointments of key people and the direction of travel, |
| 0:09.3 | and none of it's particularly good. |
| 0:11.7 | We look at Baku, the COK29 summit and the likely announcements by Kier-Starmer. |
| 0:16.2 | Will we ever get to a stage where we get green heating in Britain, not just green electricity, |
| 0:23.9 | which will be on the agenda. We cast a bit of an envious eye at Iceland in that respect. |
| 0:29.4 | And then look at the legal challenge that's just been announced to the Rosebank and Jackdorf Fields |
| 0:35.4 | and ask whether that's got any chance of success and whether it should |
| 0:39.4 | go ahead. We look also at Stephen Flynn and his announcement that he wants to contest the |
| 0:45.0 | Holyrood elections but hang on to his Westminster seat. Those are the headlines now for the |
| 0:50.0 | podcast. |
| 0:59.4 | Hi, John's and welcome to this week's Leslie Reddick podcast. |
| 1:06.5 | Again, I'm beginning with far too many size to begin these podcasts in the past few weeks. |
| 1:16.6 | But, blimey, my nauseous optimism just turned into nausea when the results of the US election came out. And it's kind of like, you know, all these Marxists that exist, no, modernary Marxists are all about why the revolution didn't happen. |
| 1:25.6 | And we've been stunned again. |
| 1:28.0 | I mean, 2016 should have been a lesson to us all |
| 1:30.7 | that nothing should ever surprise us |
| 1:34.8 | in terms of US presidential elections. |
| 1:37.4 | Because not only did Donald Trump win the electoral college |
| 1:41.1 | by a massive amount, |
| 1:42.7 | he also won the popular vote. It's bizarre. |
| 1:48.0 | It is. Yeah, I must say, I was, I can't remember what I was on, but I'm going to say, |
