I sniggered a little bit when you said it's not just me and you having a conversation about economics. I was like, oh, no, that's not a conversation I'm having. I can assure you that's not my conversation.
You're in my kitchen. That's where you are now.
Jeremy Corbyn, thank you so much for joining us on Pod Save the UK.
In a year of way too many elections around the world, this one's been looming large over the lot. That is the American election. So November's US election will reverberate around the globe, really, for years to come.
So joining us now to discuss just how, I believe the official word is fucked, we are if Donald Trump somehow manages to find his way into the White House for the second time is the co-host of our sister podcast, Pod Save the World's Tommy Vito. Hi, Tommy.
How's your energy levels in regards to that? Because it's a bit of a marathon, the U.S. election.
Well, I mean, you know, Keir Starmer keeps talking about continuity and I suppose she's seen as the continuity candidate. I do just want to come back to this quite horrifying picture you painted of Donald Trump becoming president and just really pick your brains about what that means for us in the UK. I mean, lots of Starmer's cabinet have criticised him.
David Lammy, who you know well as well, you know, he's described him as a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath. Ed Miliband, current energy secretary, said the idea that we have shared values with a racist, misogynistic, self-confessed groper beggars belief. I mean, do you think this stuff is something that Trump will not forgive us for?
You know, that it will prove a problem and out from the fire and brimstone that occurs, Nigel Farage will rise from the ashes.
But the, you know, the ties between Labour and the Democrats. It's quite well established. It does go beyond door knocking. I understand that Harris's team have for a long time swapped campaign tips with Labour, which I also find mildly amusing because Labour's whole campaign was just, we're not the Tories. I mean, that was the whole thing. I don't know what tips were exchanged.
But if Harris does win, what could a progressive alliance between the US and the UK look like? Like, what can we expect? Sunny uplands, rainbows, bunnies? What is this future that we might finally get?
OK, you need to explain that for us, for us people, please.
Got you.
Hang on, again, again, again. I've missed this completely. So the US as a present sent us two bad teams. Is that what you're saying?
They're not there for the weather. Can I ask you just a question about mood? I mean, one of the things that I was really struck by here in the UK was the Tories were out. And I think there was a sense of relief for that. But there wasn't a sense of joy. You know, certainly I didn't detect it amongst my own peer group.
But even when I was out and about, you know, on election night, admittedly, I drank enough for everyone. So that was fine. But nonetheless... You know, it was very subdued. And I think that was a reflection of the, I would say, the Labour Party not giving a robust offering of hope. What do you think the mood is going to be like for you guys that next day?
Last question before I let you go. So, you know, we've just had our 100 days of Starmer. We don't normally go for the 100 days measure in the UK, but it's really caught on. If we check back with you after 100 days, do you think you'll feel differently? Yeah.
So do you think we'll see more immediate impact on foreign policy than domestic?
Now, suitably following our chat with Tommy, we thought it might be time to look at some other international affairs. So the script is telling us to use our posh voices. So here goes. King Charles has spent six days in Australia bringing joy to local tat makers as they manufacture commemorative spoons and tea mugs doomed to live for eternity on the shelves of Aussie charity shops.
So the protester you heard there was actually independent Australian Senator Lydia Thorpe, an indigenous Australian woman and former member of the Australian Greens. She's long been an advocate of Australia becoming a republic and has drawn controversy over her years of service to Parliament.
