Lewis Goodall on the insanity of British politics in 2024 | Podcast

It was very good. Good to see Goodall a bit out of his box,loose and free. Ed was great a hosting, a good back and forth between them.

[@greg1943-u3i]

Comrade Goodall's always been loose and free. At least with facts. His long list of deleted tweets shows which echo chamber views he wants to push.

[@PaletteoftheDead]

The Farage "I don't know I'm just asking questions" is very similar to Tucker Carlson and Fox News in the US. John Oliver did a piece of him where it was pointed out that people high up in white supremacist groups were emulating that way of connecting to people as it's more paletable for more moderate people.

[@RomanticZero]

[@greg1943-u3i]

Former Labour activist Comrade Goodall and 'high quality' are rare bedfellows. The impartial Lefty can often be found deleting defamatory tweets, contradicting his own opinions, and masquarading socialists as 'independent experts'. At least he's replaced Boris Derangement Syndrome with Farage Derangement Syndrome to try and stay onside with the North London elites.

Hit the nail on the head about the generational issue. I’m 45 and thought I was up with it but now I have a 15 years old I realise my understanding of their online life isn’t anywhere near what it is in reality. Traditional media is dead and the winners of the new world will be the political parties that realise this. Most are run by people even older than me who don’t even have teenage kids to show them the issue. They’re living in a old school bubble and don’t even know it

5:11 Labour never kills its leaders….. nope….. can’t think of any recent examples….

[@Xentillus]

I'd assumed they meant labour PMs, rather than leaders of the opposition.

[@LabradorIndependent]

To be fair, Labour MPs had no mechanism for actually removing Corbyn from office, he eventually chose to stand down. Same with Miliband, Brown, and Blair. If Labour had a binding no-confidence process like the Tories, Corbyn would've been forced to stand down in 2016. Starmer will only be gone when he chooses to, unless a rule change comes in which I can't see Starmer doing this early in his tenure.

[@Ray_Beige]

@LabradorIndependent Labour Together, Morgan McSweeney, the party mechanics of the Labour Right hated Corbyn for attempting to move the party away from the centrist neoliberal status quo towards something more like the social democracy of postwar Labour. This faction (within a party notorious for absolutely toxic factionalism) opportunistically hopped on the media-created Antisemitism scandal in order to oust him. They installed Keir Starmer by disguising him as a successor and friend of the Corbynites before doing a complete volte face and morphing him into an heir to Blair. Now some might think that was necessary to win the 2024 election (it wasn’t) and others might openly hate Corbyn and prefer the Labour Right, but what NO-one can argue is that it wasn’t a coup and that Labour didn’t commit Regicide (of a leader though not a PM).

Labour appear to very concerned about being called out for not playing fair. They need to wake up and realize the other side aren't playing cricket. And do full Leveson.

[@stanleybeckett7705]

Ditching Leveson 2 was the price they paid for Murdoch support at the election, something which will now come back to bite them

[@KevinHorrox]

Part of Leveson's suggestions to be implemented was "the names or personal details of those who have been arrested or suspected of a crime should not be released to the press or the public." On the subject of the Southport stabbings, this policy allowed Andrew Tate - who isn't even in the country - and Nigel Farage to spread misinformation online that the offender was a boat crossing immigrant. Information that was one of the catalysts of the Summer mini riots. It's a mighty fine line between holding the alleged criminals accountable and allowing them to get a free and fair trial, and allowing reporting on incidents that could have a degree of public interest. Not only that, but some crimes where there is an alleged culprit such as in SA and underage SA, the public mind is made up almost instantly, regardless of the outcome of trial - leading to people being wrongfully vilified in society on occasion. The prevalence of information spread, certainly when not all facts are available, can also be seen as a problem. I don't know if I could draw that line. However, the misinformation spread needs to be curtailed, while at the same time, respectfully being allowed to hide the identity of criminals (and possibly victims) until the fair trial has been concluded.

The financial crash (where bankers were not jailed en masse) followed by the 14 years of the most corrupt governments I can ever remember have utterly destroyed our politics. Labour may genuinely try to restore trust but it’s a very hard slog at this point.

just Lewis demonstrating for 50 mins that the journalist and political class are totally in cahoots, telling that he basically says gift gate wasn't real journalism implying the masses should only care about what he and people like him deem to be worthy of the news. it was relevant to people because it demonstrated it was business as usual that the change they voted for wasn't coming it was still going to be sleaze. its within the rules what we did and although we make our own rules and have the power to change those rules we don't want to, dont look at Quadrature Capital.

@@JasmineNewman-x2o The Boris/Truss/Sunak Tories were absolutely atrocious, possibly sleazier and more corrupt than the scandal-ridden Major government, but buying influence is still buying influence. It doesn't have to be as bad to still be bad. It looks even worse if you're caught out for it when a large chunk of your campaign was pointing out the corruption of your opponents and saying "we're not them" while promising to be better. Plus Labour ought to know that there's a double standard in behavioural expectation anyway. The electorate kind of expect, even accept, that the Tories are scum and that Labour/the left are typically more high minded, thus the reaction when Labour are caught out is more extreme. Fanned all the way by the right wing and right leaning media machine that makes up the majority of the press in this country.

British politics is designed to meet the needs of the Boomer generation, not the younger generations, that is why British politics is such a mess. All the old people who no longer contribute to society are still dictating how we live. We need houses, houses, houses! HOUSES!!!!! We need houses! That is what everyone under 50 is saying, and has been saying for years! WE NEED A HOME WE CAN AFFORD!!!!!!! If you are a boomer you cannot relate, you bought cheap and watched your investment explode in value. So you get old bricklayers living next to investment bankers in the same terraced houses in parts of London. Where do the current bricklayers live? Can they afford a family? Who will replace the current generation if nobody can afford a family because houses are so expensive? The issue is houses. The government as the people paid to govern should be building house everywhere, even if some whinging boomers don't want their view ruined by the sight of British people and their families.

I've come to watch this channel regulary, but this conversation misses the point completely. if you can't separete Trump from his Policies, that's an issue. If you can't mention the importance of the Twitter Files when talking abiut Musk thats a problem too. As far as I am aware there are no D Notices here. To talk about Trump without looking at the alternative is a problem. To talk about Farage going direct during a conversation doing exactly the same thing is a problem. To talk about Trump and a wave of money with the suggestion that was a factor in the US elections when the Democrats outspent them 3:1 is a problem. Trump did not use money to win did he. The mainstream media no longer can be relied on for any kind of truth and the other truh is that the public have realised there is no real difference between the main Polictal parties, that is the point. As for Brexit being bad, I was remain like many, but look closley at Europe, Germany is on its knees and will take a decsade to recover minimum. The EU is in real trouble, no mention of that is niave. I'm a huge fan of the show but this conversation is notjing more than a nostagic look back at how things were, maybe its not even that. The last PJ thing I saw was an interview with Ian Hislop whicb was much much better. You are both in a dangerous echo chamber, hopefully you will find your way out. If you want to find out what is wrong with our Politics go and look what Mike Benz has uncovered at the State Dept that has a more corrosive threat to democracy in the UK than anything Trump, Musk or Farage will ever be.
