Corbyn's left-wing, not far-left when will you get your socialist beliefs right Alistair and Rory

What infectious enthusiasm Lisa has! It bodes so well for the future.

Very interesting discussions . Lisa comes over very well & I wish her every success 🎉

One of the best hours I have spent listening to a very intersting Minister and two very able journalists

Great interview. A breath of fresh air.

Lisa seems lovely. But I don't exactly think she's got a clear vision on her brief. She personally doesn't believe that the government should not be dictating to the BBC what can and cant be broadcast and produced. Then in the next breath she wants to please Alistair by saying she will look into making sure smaller podcasts with an informative slant should be encouraged. In my personal narrative the 2012 Olympics led to a ridiculously overinflated view of British pride which led us straight into Brexit. Which was itself a protest vote against the sitting conservative PM Cameron from lots of working class votes who hated austerity and voted against the governments position. It was an unconstitutionally binding referendum. We live in a parliamentary democracy. a 52/48 result is not a definitive outcome and should never have been taken as a vote "Giving people control". The prorogation of parliament was illegal and showed distain for the electorate.

Good work, well done 😊 But, Please have Yanis Varoufakis on ????

New Government?? We now have Government; previously we had inhabitants of Whitehall.

i neeeeeeeed lisa's dad on this podcast. please.

Ermm. Uh oh. No.

Yes!! EXTREMISTS ARE THE SAME. My mum used to say:" Better be on the oposite side of the circule where the Communists and Fascists stand 'next' to each other; BUT do not 'stay there fixed', no, there needs to be movement slightñy to the left some times to ensure support yo the poor (WHO SHOULD NEVER BE POOR...), and movíng slightly to the right to support small and médium business WHICH are the brave untrepreneurs WHO provide work, tax money, and ingenuity. But,, do NOT allow big global companies to sell us bad cheeep things and pay badly and do not contribuye fairly paying tax TO PAY FOR SOCIAL SERVICES"... My mum, Romi, was an intelligent woman born in a small Village in Segovia, Spain. She did her GCSE equivalente in one and a half years, a few mire mi ths to become a secretary when she was a teenager in Madrid and helped by all her brother's and sisters. She went through the Spanish civil war, suffered the terrible Franco's dictatorship, worked 17 hrs per day in our little business helping my dad while learning by post French, Art, Dressmaking/tailoring, etc, etc,...WOMEN LIKE HER ARE THE PULLARS OF ANY GOOD SOCIETY WHO WOULD CREATE DEMOCRACY. ...OK...SORRY FOR LONG WRITING!🎉

Keir wants to be challenged ...are you joking? Keir Stalin is a ruthless leader who lied to get elected and then did a complete 180 on policy, purged anyone with opposing views from positions of power in the party. He now has absolute control over the government and the wider party. Democracy and socialism are dead within labour.

Toxic campaign for some good reasons. I fear labour will not lead but be led.

Great interview, but it is very worrying that the Minister for Culture, Media and Sport doesn’t mention music until 4 minutes before the end, and even then it’s only prompted…

Starmer wants yes people Lisa (we will break him as a man) Nandy is the biggest liar next to Starmer

A great interview and really interesting insights into Starmer's style. Can't say I've always particularly liked Lisa Nandy but this really changed my mind :)

One of the best interviews

It’s so strange to have the adults in charge again. Lovely interview. 👍

Class.😻❤️🙏

Lets hope Lisa is able to delivery ,despite everyones best efforts to avoid change . See Rorys narrative on government systems incompetence

I am increasingly in awe of the calibre of Labour's team. I wish them well, in a difficult time!

What a superb interview, Alistair and Rory have that wonderful empathy that makes interviewees open up and reveal themselves more than just on a political level, Lisa Nandy is a star of the present Government and if the rest of the cabinet has her commitment then we are in good hands. Well done, can we have the rest of the cabinet over the upcoming months

52 48 for leave is a mandate for compromise 52 48 for remain wouldn't have been framed that way!

Freaks all 3

She has said a lot of great things. I am a bit curious about why she is emphasising how Kier Starmer likes being challenged and her defence of John Ashworth? Because it’s quite clear that Kier is very ruthless in the way he deals with Pro Palestine Labour members, and unreasonably so for some imo. Clearly he doesn’t like being challenged on certain issues. Also John Ashworth was being a massive racist on live tv… which cost him his seat.

What a fantastic interview! Lisa is amazing. She's a real asset to the new government. And A and R did a great job.

Great interview but my favourite bit was the background music trying to play Rory off at the end and failing miserably

She is just amazing

GOSH, what a great down to Earth lady!!! IWISH YOU THE VERY, VERY BEST!!!!!

I looove this government up to now. They ARE pulling their wait!!! PLEASE,DO NOT LET US DIWN. Do listen CAREFULLY you LibDem and Grens. You all can do SOOOO MUCH GOOD FIR THE UK AND THE EU!!!! SAMPLE!!!!

“Trying to police what is said or is not said is completely inappropriate” - “I want to make sure voices from all parts of the country are heard.”

Another excellent interview on the world's best political podcast.

What an amazing woman in her own right, with a fascinating background too. Great pod!

Billy Boston is, of course, Welsh. Love Lisa Nandy. I could listen to her speak on the country's issues all day.

I’m still looking for this “far right” I hear so much about.

Would you do a leading conversation interview with her father. Sounds like he would have a very interesting story to tell.

I really like her 🫶

One of the best, down to earth interviews I've heard with a current cabinet minister. Great watch

A very convincing orator

Lisa Nandy is simply classy.

CUUUNTY queen love how y'all got her to come on here

She makes one proud

You can tell that Rory just absolutely adores Lisa 😂

Ikea?

He couldnt give an honest assessment of what he ate this week, let alone an honest assessment of Europe

You can absolutely have your cake and eat it. If you want to eat something, you have to have it beforehand. What you can't do is eat your cake and have it too.

A captivating conversation with great questions and intriguing answers. Definitely a must-watch!

This mans Father and former prime minister was a Nazi collaborator where he made his fortune!! He is not a leader he has sold out everything without a profit, backs the Funds and banks, in bankrupting all working class only, unfortunately, Greece has No leaders, He wants his cake and eats it too!!

He is a perfect example of a "perfectly" educated smart politician. He is however brought up so disconnected from the reality the everyday Greek deals with, that his entire thought process is warped. His party is more left today than PASOK was after after the death of its founder (Papandreou). He is a populist but just doesn't understand it because he lacks basic understanding of economics, like the vast majority of politicians and he clearly is either lying or is delusional about issues like illegal immigration. I had big hopes for him to make serious reforms during his second term, since he has such a big parliamentary majority and due to the political system of Greece were the prime minister has almost absolute power. He basically controls directly the Executive and Legislative branches of government and indirectly but surely the Judicial branch as well. The only thing that he can't do simply by deciding it is change the constitution. Unfortunately Greece will again face huge economic and external threats in the coming years and he could really make a difference if he did the "unpopular" reforms. He was for me the last realistic chance for Greece to become a modern well functioning state, that will ensure its survival. Instead, at his core, he is a better educated Alexis Tsipras . Sad.

What a disgrace for our country...
