I will vote for whoever I believe at 2029 is the party most likely to keep out Nigel Farage.

As much as I'm fed up with this country and this political system.

that has you know entrenched economic inequality in our society i'm not willing to allow us to become a petri dish for nigel farage's saint george cross masturbatorial wet dream i know that the lesser of two evil arguments is played out but you know there are americans being killed in the street by ice officers right now i can see really from a labor perspective

the kind of political utility of that.

But it's also really fucking embarrassing for Keir Starmer.

You've got the local issues, which is the sort of boxing out of Andy Burnham, who is a very, very significant figure in the Labour Party in the area around Gorton and Denton.

You've got the national picture, which is, you know, economic stagnation.

You've got the Mandelson effect.

You've got wider Epstein scandal.

And then you've got this idea that there's a kind of cabal of people that are essentially obsessed with controlling the Labour Party and not actually doing anything to run the country and are investigating journalists who are looking into them.

Ash, as always, thank you so much for joining us.

Minority Rule is out in paperback right now.

It's a strong recommend.

It's a fantastic book.

We loved it when we talked about it in February last year.

And the afterword is really, really genuinely interesting.

And, you know, as usual, thank you so much for coming to Podside for the UK.

Now, Nigel Farage might be hopeful about winning in Gorton and Denton, but he's still a long way from Downing Street.

So one of the really disappointing things is the way that Keir Starmer has allowed Farage to lead the way on immigration.

First up, Yusuf pledged to deliver net negative migration by shipping out five deportation flights a day, escorted by the RAF.
