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

It is a spicy show. And if you would like to see a legally caveated show, you should absolutely get tickets. It's running around the country to end in November.

But anyway, let's get into the political news of the week, where Keir Starmer asks, well, who wants to be popular anyway?

This is at least an evolution of last week's things are going to get worse mantra, but it is a strange tone for the government to set. As all week long, front pages of websites and newspapers have been cluttered with headlines decrying the government's stance on winter fuel payments for pensioners.

So we spoke about this on the podcast last week, but Nish, what are your thoughts on this?

It's all online as well, isn't it?

Yeah.

So if the government is taking the chance to implement some unpopular policies, we thought we'd help with some of our own contributions. So let's start with the realistic, a bit of crystal ball gazing for Keir Starmer's foretold things getting worse. We've already discussed some potential new taxes, rejigging inheritance tax, that would be unpopular.

Capital gains tax changes, that would be unpopular. We had Paul Johnson from the IFS come onto this couch and make a very good case for changing up council tax banding.

I mean, what else could they do that would really suck for them?

Okay.

Okay, so I'm going to say something and I know I'm going to outrage many people.

How about this? Dog owners. I think you should have a license to own a dog. Oh my God.

I'm sorry, but there's too many badly behaved dogs, Nish. People don't know how to train their dogs and look after their dogs. I'm just saying, I think you need a license.

I know.

Okay, all right, listen, let's be more egalitarian. How about licenses for all pets? Cats, rabbits, parrots.

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, there you go, Keir Starmer. If you want to ruin your standing with the British public, that's a policy for you.

Okay.

Yeah, full Brazil. That sounds like something I asked for at the Sabbath. I don't know which you should be saying that.

Okay.

Yeah.
