Pod Save the UK · Facts versus F-wits: how to fight the Alt Reich · 16 Jan 2025 podcast

I just came here to do it.

I wish I didn't take this route now. I was just trying to make a joke. But anyway, we are serving up our first spicy truth sandwich for you. And as it turns out, the fuckwittery doesn't just come from the right, from the Tories and from reform. So here's the context and truth of the matter, because we should always start there.

So context is Britain is experiencing a mental health crisis, which is particularly affecting young people. NHS data shows that between April and October last year, there was a 10% increase in children across England needing treatment for severe mental health crisis.

But facts don't get in the way of opinions for many former prime ministers, it seems. This week, Tony Blair gave his two cents on the rising demand for mental health support on the podcast Jimmy's Jobs for the Future.

Right. Challenges of life sounds like, oh, had a few bad dates. Do you know what I mean? Like, it's not like, oh, I live in a country that's in economic decline and is slowly but surely getting taken over by toxic politics. And actually, funnily enough... I feel a little bit down. That's a logical conclusion to draw in terms of your feeling of well-being or your optimism for the future.

No, absolutely. And like, you know... It's so funny, isn't it? Because we've been talking about AI today and about how, like, you know, this idea has kind of captured our political establishment, if you want to use that language, and about how, like, it can fix everything.

But it's somehow the idea that, like, there's been developments in the study of mental health and that people realise now that certain conditions aren't a fact of life and they can be helped. Oh, no, that's all, that's wah, wah, wah. All the millennials are crying about, like, they can't take any stress. What? What? I don't understand it. Do we like science or we don't like science?

What do we like here?

Yeah.

And just a reminder that if you're feeling any struggles with your mental health, please don't listen to Tony Blair. Make the most of the NHS that we're all paying for and is ours and we should be all fighting for. Talk to your GP. You can receive a referral for therapy. We've also included mental health resources in the show notes.

Pod Save the UK · Billionaire BS: How can Britain Stop Musk’s Disinformation? · 9 Jan 2025 podcast

Hi, this is Pod Save the UK. I'm Coco Card.

My air horn sound.

It sounded like da-da-da-da.

Isn't that a disco tune? I'm really showing my lack of cultural awareness.

Nish, it sounds like you've had a pretty eventful new year. Let me read you a headline from GB News. Nish Kumar sparks BBC hootenanny switch-off threats with unnecessary politics swipe. Hugely unfunny. What happened?

OK, well, let me fill the audience in on what GB News was so upset by. So Jules Holland asked you if there was anything you wanted to look back on. And you said, well, the Conservative Party lost the election and I was rock hard for a week, Jules. And at 39, that's quite hard to come by.
