141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

Oh my God, Nick.

141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

And to be clear, it was because your son came to see me do stand-up comedy.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

Yes.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

It wasn't because I had called him in.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

We had to smuggle him in.

141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

It was a very long car ride.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

Yes, to all families, Nish Kumar, like Wu-Tang, is for the children.

100%.

Stu, the fact that you and I know each other means that you know about all of the areas in which I personally fall short when it comes to saving the planet.

I did your climate confession series recently and confessed to the fact that I own about 600 reusable cups, which I don't think can be good for the environment.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

No, it's not, but so much of climate is a contradiction and so much of it is about finding a balance.

If you lose your reusable coffee cup before you've used it 50 times, you might as well have been using compostable ones.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

So there's all sorts of contradictions.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

You mentioned the kind of climate confessions thing.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

I do solicit confessions from friends and audiences and what have you when I'm digging.

But that's really just to undermine the idea that if you don't lead a carbon-free life, then you're not entitled to a voice.

Pod Save the UK

I kicked a horse.

I mean, most of them are minor infractions, but there was a guy from Oklahoma who said he'd taken the catalytic converter off his car in order to make it sound better.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

We killed him.

Pod Save the UK
141: McSweeney: the man who made Starmer and his ties to Mandelson

Beat him to death.
