And part of me is like, oh, this is the new allegiance. It's Trump and Putin and, you know, whatever other other dictators, despots or whatever we want to call them. But then I also saw a comment that he released earlier where he said it would be fine for any European countries to continue to buy arms from America if they do want to choose to progress this conflict.
And you just think, oh, OK, maybe this isn't about alliance. This is just about money as it was all along.
Yeah. So in the end, who are the losers? It's just going to be normal civilians who are caught up in this mess. And who are the winners? The arms manufacturers, basically.
Plus, US President J.D. Vance and Elon Musk meddling in the German election, Austria's far-right flopping, and more.
So, back to the UK, I have a clip to share. play for you. It's not just Olaf Scholz that has been more than a little irritated with Starmer lately. While out and about a development in Milton Keynes, the Prime Minister's trip was cut short after an intervention from farmers. They were protesting the government's inheritance tax plans in this clip from The Guardian.
Oh, yeah. It's a classic. It's an absolute club classic. I'm genuinely very impressed. I'm just impressed that they did that. Do you think it was a pre-record? No, it couldn't have been.
Yeah, you're a farmer that can do both. Yeah.
The letters said, and we quote, these measures mimic the performative cruelty of the failed Tory governments rejected by voters last July. They also breach Britain's international obligations to respect the right to claim asylum and guarantee safe routes. Far from being a drain on this country, migrants from all over the world enrich our society in every sense.
Anti-migrant politics will not build a single house, staff a single hospital or raise anyone's wages. Instead, by echoing its rhetoric, the government is simply fuelling the rise of Reform UK.
Pulling no punches there either. No legitimate concerns. You don't see that sort of language in there. Starmer was saying this week, you know, we have to accept that there are legitimate grievances. Every time I read these things, I'm like... The picture that is created is so that everyone's got their fingers in the ears going like, la, la, la, la, la. We left the EU. We sabotaged our economy.
We took away the sort of opportunities for the young. We've left ourselves in a desert. What do you mean? Why are you acting? We've done it. We did the thing. I hate this narrative.
Now, after the break, we're asking... What's love got to do with it? We're speaking to Sean Fay. Pod Save the UK is brought to you by Shopify.

Loneliness has been declared a growing epidemic across the world and is now regarded as a global health threat by the World Health Organization. Men are faring the worst in the UK and US. One in five single men say they have no close friends. And men make up 61% of users on dating apps, with more and more becoming unintentionally single long term.
So often when we think about love, we think of it outside of politics. You know, we're a politics podcast, so why are we having a conversation about love? And I guess I wanted to ask you, why do you think love is a political issue?
And also sometimes it can feel implicit in that is that therefore women should pair up with these men. That's what you must do. I don't want to. Yeah.
I'll just come back to this point about the business and the capitalism of love. There's something about this particular moment, and I don't know if I'm right about this, where it's not in commercial interest for people to actually find love. Like it's better for them to remain lonely, to feel that it's their fault so that they buy more cosmetics or they do, you know, have more whatever juices.
