Cancelling HS2 And GB News | Pod Save The UK

[@carolstomberg9189]

What a breath of fresh air to see 3 smart women talking politics!! I absolutely loved it👏👏👏

[@aninewforest]

Cats hear their mum chatting on the phone or Zoom. As no one else is in the room, the cat assumes their person is talking to them, so they reply. Cats are more polite than we give them credit for!

[@deancostello14]

They should just do all of HS2 and all of NPR. Do it all.

[@awkwardatlas5623]

Coco, Nish - can you please get Ian Hislop on this pod. It would make my year. Have I Got Pod For You?

[@TheDreadfulCurtain]

Enjoyed stand n host Grace . Thank you !

[@windlessoriginals1150]

Proportional representation 💯

[@KieranFuller17]

Grace is an excellent guest and someone I hope to hear from a lot more!

[@magspies]

Great to have input from Grace Blakeley on the show. Would be good to have her analysis when manifestos come out.

[@AliceWatts-d3v]

Power to clean water ✊

[@aliecatze4922]

Love the appearance of Murphy the cat!!

[@kathrynmceachern9503]

You're amazing, Coco! Thank you always for this wonderful podcast.

[@jtpatel]

In 1972, I rode the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto. The trains in the US are way worse than yours in Britain. I live in smallish town Connecticut

[@Kaltagstar96]

The only politics related content that I listen to and Grace did a really good job stepping in for Nish; also as a Geordie, I'm not even sure why I get surprised anymore that the Tories dick over the North, I'm honestly more surprised whenever they do anything to benefit us. Also, screw Laurence Fox and GB News in general. I'm also a bit surprised that they didn't cover Braverman's 'Multiculturism has failed' comments

[@Theinternalrewrite]

The study British politics in Norway? We British barely study it in schools here. It should be part of the curriculum.

[@Mandy-dy7nj]

Fox has now apologised for his comments. The way to curb these people is not to take the high road and ignore them, it's to hit them in their pockets. They love their money far more than they love anything else.

[@FSMDog]

Labour is no longer Democratic, nor Socialist - the card means nothing

[@jsrodman]

Cancelling HS2 is so incredibly foolish. Imagine cancelling all the roads. Also, where does that 100 billion go? It goes to British companies and workers. It's not gone. So silly. Now, the project could maybe be better run, and that's important. But the key is to continually improve efficiency, not to just kill projects.

[@jamessullivan6031]

Hs2 is not about London it's about Birmingham and it's about unblocking Birmingham new street which has massive knock on to coursing delayes throughout the south West Wales and the north West

[@alicemerray]

There are two main things that I would like to see happen to GB News (other than for it to fail ignominiously as a business & just close down): firstly, sitting MPs HAVE to stop being employed there. As I understand depending on exactly how this happens it can actually be a breach of OFCOM rules, but even if it isn't, it's just giving certain MPs a bully pulpit of what amounts to a TV channel of their own. A permanent party political broadcast where they say whatever they like, with no pushback, and then even if the audience for the the channel isn't huge, proper channels & newspapers clip the most click-baity bits and disseminate them far and wide. Secondly, they need a name change forced on them. It is NOT a news channel, it's right wing propaganda, much of it flat out lies.

[@bertiewooles3093]

I hope everyone who listens to this podcast actually gives the Lib Dems a fair consideration. If they do I think they will find a party that is much more progressive then the current Labour party

[@riseandfall...]

I have heard Grace Blakeley speak twice; both times she has altered the way I think about an issue. First podcast, she articulated the problem with gauging ‘the economy’ in terms of GDP, Inflation, Stock Market… vs things that impact standard of living like wages…blow my mind…duh, we need to be discussing issues through a more split economy approach.

[@shantz123]

Woo grace

[@Eviltwin531]

Every time I'm reminded that Laurence Fox exists, I find myself asking the same question: What in the blue hell did Billie Piper ever see in him?

[@KristineMaitland]

I keep asking myself the same question.

[@hawcubites]

Laurence Fox, who would? Is what I ask myself.

[@channelzero2252]

*yawn* Oh, sorry! I'm not bored! I'm in Australia, watching this at a quarter to seven in the morning. It's been a surprisingly good way to start my day, every Friday, for the last few weeks!

[@aussietom85]

Would you reform voting in the commons first or try and implement a proportional voting upper house to replace the Lords?

[@annkat100]

Just look at the U.S.; any nut can attend virtually any GOP conference, w/ tons of old, safety net-reliant, folks, supporting policies directly v. their interests!! GO Coco! Can’t wait to hear your takeaways‼️‼️🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@DanGolag]

Really enjoyed Layla's interview. Didn't expect to like a lib dem this much, but she sounded much better than the Labour representative you had on.

[@supergustavus1503]

Hey, I got your book ! I’ll have to re read it now!

[@veggienugnugs]

I really want Coco's stage name to be DJ Pops.

[@ToppyTree]

The chapters in the description need colons rather than periods in the time codes

[@kassistwisted]

Before I've watched a moment of the pod this week, I have to say that I am a huge fan of all the Morse franchises. But I just cannot bear to watch Inspector Lewis anymore, no matter how good Kevin Whately was in it. I am not usually a canceller, but that Fox guy has got to go.

[@TheLisclark]

He pops up in other stuff that I used to like

[@Kaltagstar96]

Yeah, I mean, I haven't watched Morse (I think John Thaw from The Sweeney was in it, though?) or any of the adjacent series, but how does Fox go from an actor doing decently well for himself to what seems to be the Aldi version of Andrew Tate? That's like finding out that the bloke who played Inspector Barnaby in Midsummer Murders is a proud member of the EDL.

[@StratsRUs]

His brother in law too

[@TheLisclark]

@@StratsRUs Richard Ayoade?

[@metalhead2550]

@Coco the reason you can't get on that train to Manc is because Avanti is absolutely crap and guess what.... they had their franchise renewed for another 9 years!?!?!

[@Tiggs84]

I think the Lib Dems need to properly apologise for the years suffering their 2010 decision caused. Admit it was dangerous mistake so we know they have learned.

[@carlpierce2486]

Sorry and yes it was an awful mistake (mostly).

[@Vio818]

I thought they did and then it was turned into a song of Nick Clegg just saying sorry. But yer jokes aside yer.

[@YaroTheCutest]

8:46 She just went Napoleon 🥶

[@RedSntDK]

At least this episode hasn't been bombed by haters like the PoliticsJoe one with (Capital J journalist) Ava.

[@SatanicHorse]

I vote for a podcast with political commentary by Murphy the cat.

[@alicemerray]

Please can we all make an effort to dump the phrase "The great and the good" forever? The people it refers to are usually neither great nor good.

[@fungafloraemma]

Skipped through most of Lib Dems. Waste of space.

[@annkat100]

That no $$$ left is utter B.S. imo, here, & there.

[@williamcarter3933]

Can we please stop saying "save the planet"

[@jsrodman]

Why?

[@hawcubites]

Coco is so much better on her own, sat on the better side of the set. Nish should basically just pop in as a guest occasionally when no one is otherwise available. lol.

[@USBBenson]

Don't diss the Nish! Besides, he showed on Taskmaster that his collaboration with coco(nuts) is amazingly entertaining kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYCXgoeIiK90l5Y
