Tämä on yllättäminen. Se on yllättäminen. Se on yllättäminen. Olen pahoillani, mutta... En halua sanoa mitään väärää, mutta... Niin. Niin. Niin. Niin.

erilaisilla ihmisillä. Britain's equivalent of the George Floyd case. George Floyd was actually killed by police in America. And when people started talking about Black Lives Matter, a lot of it came off the back of that. But the difference there is when you had politicians, someone like Keir Starmer, who took the knee for Black Lives Matter, what he was saying there was

isn't it terrible that there are people who would be deemed on a lower tier than I am? And speaking from my position on the upper tier, the tier tier, if you like, I would like to stick up for the people on the below tier. Whether that's true or not, that's what he was doing. The weird thing about this is you've got...

People, well, Farage and Reform and plenty of others as well, saying there are two tiers and we are on the bottom tier. But we're not hanging from anyone who's on the top tier. We're not hanging from any sort of 14-year-old mixed race kids in London going like, yeah man, I'm totally owning this country now. I'm in charge.

Stop bleating, Mr. Streeting. Stop bleating, Mr. Streeting. If he got involved in a property scam, it'd be like, you know, Wes's Desres or something like that. It'd be fantastic. There's not a lot you can do with Andy. I was going to refer, your chances of becoming PM are more and more fleeting, Mr. Streeting. Mr. Streeting, that's very good. Burnham, no, Burnham, I can't do much with Burnham. No, Burnham Woods, that's it. I keep trying to make that joke and I'm never sure it quite lands. What is it?

Se liittyi. Se liittyi järjestelmään, joka laittoi Thatcheria takaisin. En ole varma, että meillä on mitään erityisen vahvaa poliitikkoa näissä päivissä. En tiedä. Luulen, että jos on jotain huonoa, kuten Pat McFadden, se voisi olla melko haastavaa. Mutta ne eivät ole... Suurin osa niistä on aloittanut krikkimetaforin tasolla. David Lammy on todennäköisesti huono. Okei, kyllä. Hän sanoo asioita. En ole varma, että ne ovat ne asiat, joita hän suositti ennen. Kyllä.

Fundamentally he's good, against righteous. He was righteously wrong. No, but he was wrong. He was just wrong. Because he described the Novak story as being basically a story about immigration. You know, Novak's killer was born in Britain. So unless he meant it's a story about long-term immigration, the terrible arrival to the West of people like, for example, his own wife, or indeed the entirety of America, then I think he was just making an error there.

I guess it should be derogatory. Just another thing that Vance said when he was talking about this. The quote that he said, he said, Henry Novak died in the same way that a civilization dies. Abandoned, handcuffed by the authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. Now the last bit of that...

It's powerful rhetoric. It's righteous anger, I suppose. Died in the same way as civilization dies. Is that how civilizations die? No. I don't think it is how civilizations die. No, not abandoned and handcuffed. When one thinks of how the Incas died, you know, I don't think it was...

Kyllä, se ei ollut väärän poliisipolitiikan vuoksi. En tiedä. En ole yksilö. Poliisi oli todennäköisesti osallistunut, mutta ei väärän poliisipolitiikan vuoksi. Kyllä, kyllä, kyllä. Tämä on niin, kuinka ympäristö kuuluu. Pitäkää huomioon, että tämä tulee Yhdysvalloista, joka viime aikoina vaikuttaa ympäristöön.

Every bit of this is really confusing to me, because he knows it was the good guys doing the invading on D-Day, doesn't he? You'd think. I don't really quite know how else to say it. He's making the parallel of...

What's of use to me is the image of a beach being stormed. You wonder if he could have turned it around. I mean, just be charitable to him. If we can help him make this work. If he could have been like... I certainly don't want to give him another go. He's like, here on D-Day... Next year. He's got a year to do this. Here on D-Day, I feel it's important to say that I'm not a fan of the Nazis. However...

One lesson we can take from them is how good they were at defending beaches. Until they weren't. Already you're in trouble. Where the Nazis went wrong was by letting it all fall apart on the beaches of Normandy. That's what he wants to say. Right. Yes. Okay. No? And in response to Hexeth, I quite like to...

America venerates the troops, and rightly. It's such a core part of it. I want to use the word myth, but that suggests that it's not real. It is where the belief in America as the land that frees the rest of the world from the yoke of tyranny comes from. Actually, I'll qualify. He doesn't think because I'm American. He's thinking because I'm the right kind of American. I'm the current type of American that's in power.

He'll just unravel in front of you. He sort of did it again today, although in the other direction. He was talking about the latest negotiations with Iran that are apparently happening. He said basically we're having great negotiations, they're going extremely well, we're very close to doing a deal and we'll have total victory.

You can't be both doing a deal and having total victory. Unless Iran is going to sign up for your total victory. And it's going to be a total victory for both of you. Do you know there's opportunity here? If the Iranians are listening. In a meeting, they just wait, and then he falls asleep. And then when he wakes up, they go, well done, you did it, you made that great deal. You might have missed it because you were asleep, but it's all sorted now, you can go home. Oh my god. When he's asleep, just put a pen in his hand and get him to sign a piece of paper.

Weekend at Bernie's is armed. Before we go, words of the week. Oh yes, there's a good one this week. Keir Starmer has been keen to find, before he leaves office, as many expect him to do when Andy Burnham comes in to kick him out, keen to find some

Announceables. Announceables. Announceables. Announceables are not announcements. No, announceables. It sounds like the Marvel movie, nobody went to see it. The Announceables. An announceable, in my best understanding, so the announceable this week was the social media ban. Okay. They haven't actually done it, or indeed announced it, but it's announceable. So an announceable is what will become an announcement once you announce it. It's a pre-announcement. It's a pre-announcement. Yeah. It's a pronouncement.

Oh, talk me through this. So these are policies that he says he's thinking really hard about. It's an idea that you can announce in order to seize the agenda. So it doesn't have to be deliverable. Deliverables are something quite different. Whether you'll ever achieve it, that's way down the track. It's an announceable. It's to grab the media's attention, grab the agenda. Mm-hmm.

And I had a look to see where the word actually comes from. And so it's actually quite often used in both Canadian and Australian English, weirdly not American or English English. But the last time it really reared up was Gordon Brown was apparently a fan of announceables. Starmer's lot haven't talked about announceables before. The fact they are doing now, and there was also all that talk post-local elections of whether Gordon Brown was going to become more involved. So maybe they're getting their announceables resurrectable.
