An air pollution mask around the airport. Is this growth? A high street just dead of any culture. Is this growth?

Yeah, no, exactly. And, you know, we watched all of Reeves' speech before this show. The two things that stood out to me is that she talked about how actually Labour had delivered on growth. you know, not as much as they expected, but there had been some growth. I thought to myself, well, that is definitely not felt by the general public.

Actually, you can keep talking about growth, but I'd really love to hear how that would be redistributed, because I think that's the main question. And when she also kept talking about Europe, Silicon Valley, all I keep thinking about is deep seek and how just overnight it's like turned the tech world upside down. I just thought maybe Silicon Valley isn't the model we should be going for.

She kept returning to this line, like, we want to make Britain the best place for an entrepreneur. And all I kept thinking was, I mean, it's a pretty good place for entrepreneurs as it is, but I'd love to hear, we want to make Britain the best place to be a child, the best place to be a nurse. You know, those are the things I want to hear, but I'm not convinced it was a speech for us.

A fine OK place.

A fine OK place.

Make Britain OK, I guess, again.

So as our guest on the show last week, Greens co-leader Carla Denya said, airport expansion doesn't necessarily improve the lives of your everyday Brit, and it certainly will not lead to positive environmental outcomes. The government is already struggling to justify the decision, actually. So here's Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds speaking to BBC Radio 4's Emma Barnett.

There's also been opposition from Labour's biggest donor. So that's green energy magnate Dale Vince. He tweeted that if we don't get on top of the climate crisis, the economic damage will drown out any gains from marginal projects like Heathrow. No amount of runways will save our economy.

Right. And I mean, even in her speech today, she talks about, she takes a swipe at bats and newts. What have they ever done to you? You know, and it's interesting because obviously if there was a long time where Labour were saying we are the true Green Party, it's just all being unraveled before our eyes.

Yeah, and we can't forget that only a couple of weekends ago, we had that massive storm that battered Northern Ireland and Scotland. You know, the climate catastrophe is here. I kind of want to have a picture of it so I can ask Keir Starmer, is this growth? You know what I mean? Is this growth?

That's right. 52% of the people polled agreed that the UK would be a better place if a strong leader was in charge who does not have to bother with Parliament and elections. And nearly half agreed the entire way our society is organised must be radically changed through revolution.
