Pod Save the UK · Can Starmer’s upbeat note drown out the donation scandal? w/ Zoë Grünewald and Simon Kuper · 26 Sep 2024 podcast

Very badly behaved, Simon, I'm just saying. An epidemic.

You can sort of see how it happens, you know. So ministers, as you've outlined, have always had a bit of a job to say no to donors, but increasingly are more dependent on them because of the collapse of the membership models. So I wondered, my first thought was like, what about rebuilding membership models? Could that also be a way around it?

Or making ministers be better at saying no to donors through rules? Or do you think those two could have legs?

You know, you were talking about the £2 per citizen would have £130 million, so that would wipe out donors. Would £130 million really be enough? I feel like there's probably, if you added it all up between the two parties, there's probably more money than that, no?

One of my unpopular theories, maybe it wouldn't be unpopular, but definitely too many rich people, it's corrosive for society.

Yeah. It distorts the thinking of people around them. Do you know what I mean?

But wait, British MPs do get paid less than... Are the counterparts in other countries true?

Yeah, as they should, yeah.

I know, I know. I keep thinking about that. Just that very simple policy of assigning £2 per citizen to stop donations. I think it's great. I mean, I'd do it. I'd personally give £2.

Well, the main thing for me is I just want to make sure that if I am bought, it's expensive. Like for my own sense of pride, you're not buying me for a Bowdoin dress. Sorry, no.

I bet everyone's going to have like lovely things like world peace.

Pod Save the UK · Inside out: How to fix the UK’s prison system + Labour embraces unpopularity · 12 Sep 2024 podcast

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

And later, we're joined by two very special guests to discuss the challenges facing our prison system. But first, Nish is back. Return of the Mac. Where have you been?

Well, obviously I'm heavily biased, but I have seen the show and it is fantastic and probably libelous. It's definitely not libelous.

But maybe adjacent?
