Yeah, I think, like, if you are progressive, whether you were supporting the Greens or independents, there was lots to be happy about. I had a Jaeger bomb for every Tory MP that I really particularly hated losing their seat.
Well, I tried to. I don't really remember a lot of it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure, for sure. And when the exit poll first came in, I had a Jagerbomb.
Just to see the Tories decimated.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Fair and square is the right phrase, actually.
Last week, Saudi Arabia was named the host of the 2034 World Cup. And it's no coincidence in season two of World Corrupt, Roger Bennett and Tommy Vitor uncover how an oil-rich nation with a grim human rights record bought its way to global influence from wooing soccer stars to Silicon Valley investors.
Once the debris from the election parties had been cleared in Keir Starmer and packed all his boxes of Arsenal scarves, free suits and glasses into number 10, what did Labour do next?
Anyway, things turned out quite badly. In the summer, we had the horrible attack in Southport, followed by devastating riots, spurred on in part by newly elected MP Nigel Farage, who amplified fake news reports that the man involved in the Southport attack was known to British security services.
Starmer condemned the rioters, but wouldn't explicitly call out their racism, opting for the vaguer phrase, whatever the apparent motivation.
Then, of course, in October, we got to the first Labour budget in 14 years. Nish is actually wearing a Grinch hat.
See, now this is going into harassment. This is now going into HR.
Felt like we hadn't said it for like five minutes. You can see how it happens. You have a sort of ongoing blue joke and then, oh, now it's turned. Now it's turned about the moment. I just feel like, you know, if we're going to chat about the budget, the Grinch hat is very nice.
Doesn't make you feel good about the sort of control of the budget they held for many years.
Now, as the day started to get colder and shorter, there was one massive, overwhelming, terrifying news event that seemed to overshadow all others, and it's, of course, the US election. Convicted felon and sexual abuser Donald Trump won the White House again, beating Kamala Harris across all swing states and won the popular vote for the first time. Now the dust has settled, Desiree.
How are you feeling?
But there has been a bit of a... sort of re-nosing of Labour strategy. Like, I think they have learnt a lesson from the American election results where they have understood that it's not enough to say that our economy is buoyant. If people don't feel it in their pocket, they will disregard it. Living standards in the UK are very, very low and are getting lower.
So when, after five months in office, Starmer finally declared that the government had a plan and the plan is change, maybe now is the time we believe it? Or what do you think, Liz?
And I think as well, I mean, going back to that initial thought of, okay, five months later when he says change, he was saying change all along. Do we finally believe it? Well, that's the crucial word, change. Is it change? Is anything changing or is it just managed better? And do we need managed better?
Yes. So it's the same. The polls have put Labour behind Reform and the Conservatives, well, some of the polls anyway, despite the new leader, Kemi Badenoch, having nothing to say beyond picking fights with bread, if the latest story is to be believed. Last week, she declared that sandwiches aren't real food. The polls are in the gutter. The tabloids are having a field day.
