Absolutely spot on (I ventured onto Twitter to make similar point). Every episode of Americast demonstrates Justin Webb to be a Trump apologist, but to allow Ruddy to claim current economic issues are Biden’s fault, with no challenge or reference to tariffs is just journalistic dereliction

Very good until the last 10 minutes when I’m afraid @lewisgoodall.com reverted to the usual tedious trope of trying to coax Jess into trying to say something disobliging about Keir Starmer’s leadership…

Definitely a doppelgänger then!

Aha! Very clever. I was starting to wonder if it was an optical illusion…

But who is that pondering life in Mandelson’s hair????

Agreed. One of your very best Mr R

I agree with that recognition in full. The problem is that he did seem to lack basic knowledge of such factors as debt vs deficit, what the highest rate of income tax is. So it’s not just working out how to communicate it, it’s actually making sure he properly understands it.

Great interview. Rory’s rant at the end was hysterical - and 100% accurate. Polanski operates in an economic la la land and it’s about time his fantasist policies were properly called out

I very much used to enjoy Warner when he was at The Independent. Could never quite work out how he ended up at The Telegraph. (Well, money I guess…)

Great piece of work. Absolutely spot on regarding the extremely slippery Prescott

I’m truly devastated. Typical Corbynite - loses their temper in a fit of self righteousness, starts ranting away and then shuts down the discussion

I think vast oil reserves in the case of Norway and being neutral in WW2 are rather stronger drivers of their low ratios than their being not neoliberal. Oh, and the 2024 Reeves budget increased public spending by £70bn per annum: hardly neoliberal
