Coffee House Shots

The show has been worse since Tim Shipman took the lead. Arrogant, never interested in a discussion. He provides a reminder why old conservatives have a poor reputation.

Well that interview certainly illustrates why the OBR and the budget is such a mess. Constant equivocating in spite of the host’s gallant attempts to get specifics. Also if he’s going to quote Shakespeare then get it right or read some: “swings and arrows…”?!

Had just discovered this podcast and have enjoyed the right leaning but even handed thoughtful analysis for the past few weeks. Today's episode on kier starmer handling trump, however, adopted the language of the American right and kept referring to independent US state court proceedings as “lawfare.” And then claimed that starmer is an expert in “lawfare.” It's a nonsense. You either believe in the rule of law and respect the process even when it's politically inconvenient or not. If the judcilliciary is fundamentally flawed on both sides of the pond, that should be the lead story! But its not flawed, it's just politically inconvenient for the right. I expected the UK analysis to be more even handed but to hear adoption of the vocabulary that undermines key social institutions is problematic.

And surprisingly even-handed to both political wings. Good job!

Like the show but where is the producer? Volumes range all over the place. Sounds like some are close to their mikes and others are miles away. Irritating.
