- Ian, Helen, Adam and Andy discuss Trump II: The Wrath of Don, explain the latest verdict in the ongoing legal struggle of Prince Harry vs Everybody, and dig into the Chancellor’s dash for growth and whether it really is the polar opposite of net zero. (Spoiler: no).

The corporate state benefits from growth. Not the people, the environment is stuffed and so the future.
the balance has gone wrong somewhere. we've ended up a wildlife depleted island with many species once common on red lists.
To be fair, upper hominids had destroyed ecology of British Isles by mid Holocene; in Australia 'we' have managed to achieve the same in 250 years. tho largely since 1945
Excellent content
re: 'starmer had to drag labour to the right because most people didn't agree with it before' - JC won 40% of the popular vote in 2017, about the same amount as BJ in 2019.Under Starmer labour did worse in popular terms than 2019, got about 31% .
Private Eye is good at holding the powerful to account - usually. It would do better if it gave up on it's middle-class-middle-of-the-roadism & took a similar perspective to most british people. I might actually buy it then.
Thank you.
My daughter was born in Upstate New York in 1974. We were living there because of my husband's job. She got an American passport and a New York State birth certificate.
Yep. Legal v illegal immigration.
How awful for her. Shameful to think of. A perfectly respectable British child tarred for life
Does she have to pay tax?

3rd runway at Heathrow would not just be to relieve queues. More runways = more flights, surely ?
Yes. Like adding lanes to a highway, adding more capacity leads to more congestion.
And how little of the new runway's business is going to be for the UK domestic economy.
I think it is so wrong to put this runway in, overriding resident rights, environmental rights.
Is it a runway demanded by the US - Extra war plane capacity?
By the time it's built aviation will be about to collapse anyway
Keep up the good work xxx.
Birthright citizenship may be unusual in the OLD WORLD, but it's common across most NEW WORLD nations.
Only 3 nations in the western hemisphere, Chile, Colombia and Dominican Republic, don't have birthright citizenship.
Sometimes context is critical. Sometimes Europe as a whole is a parochial enclave.
Good one people
Trump makes me embarrassed to be human.
I like Frankie Boyle's take: "possibly the worst mammal"
You can play Bugs Bunny...or well Road Runner? Ariba Ariba?
Now THATs embarrassing...
You just AINT been around....
Early! Hurrah!
To me it looked like a "to the stars!" mix between Superman and a John Travolta dance move. It looked ridiculous.
When experiencing pg94 sonically I strongly suggest listeners google several terms: 'Bat Bomb', 'Emu War' & (perhaps) 'Dingo Fence'.
why no ads? No, I do not like ads; however, letting them run is my way of showing appreciation for quality content.
Maybe because no one wants to advertise on _Private Eye_
Yay
Growth and sustainability are not opposing issues. You can develop a high speed train line that doesn't cause massive environmental damage. HS2 has done it. What has cost them so much is that they havn't worked with that goal from the start. If they set out to minimise environmental damage, work with bodies like natural england. And take advice from experts they wouldn't have had the costs of fighting on everything. What was holding them up is an opposing attitude between authorities who should work together.
The other thing that cost HS2 was the constant meddling by the government. Rather than setting it up and letting them get on with it, they constantly changed bits of the plan, hacked bits off, and caused loads of delays.
To paint the picture that to build national infrastructure you need to murder a colony of bats is abserd.
Plus, the electricity plyon thing is perfectly solvable problem. We solved it in Norfolk, they just got buried underground. Noone really threw up any fuss, the company doing it Orsted invested in communities along the cable route. It should be complete this year. The only reason to build pylons is to cut rather small differences in cost.
@@zuluhyena305 why do people act like bats were suddenly the only thing making HS2 a shit show?
Easy thing to blame, blame the environmentalists! Not thr management, middle management. The beaurocracy . @@I_goch
Don't forget all the money spent on tunnels so Tory areas didn't have to look at the trains.
"Growth and sustainability are not opposing issues" - well, that depends on what you mean, I suppose. Expecting unbounded population growth on a finite planet and also hoping for economic growth is simply stupid, I think that's not very controversial. But yes, if we were to get global population down to something like a reasonable level and keep it there, then sure, economic growth is perfectly compatible with sustainability.
@I_goch because it's easier than addressing the actual structural issues of the state and the planning system. "The bats did it" is easier than saying "we failed to train and brief our engineers into the specific requirements of the site location and how to properly address the unique habitats there."
The Rule of Law(yers) is predominant theme of pg.94pod., SAF (Sustainable Appeal Fund) pls ref., Hislop vs Other 2025. ab initio.
I'm not crediting a person who calls Senator Gallego "Gayo" with the perspicacity to evaluate the constitutional issues of birthright citizenship (which 30 countries in the world, including Canada, have as their basis). I think she has overegged her "Americanology" credentials. Her take on Project 2025 as a libertarian wishlist is especially shallow considering the key authoritarian and extreme Christian nationalist pillars. Has she read it or just an abstract from The New Statesman or the like?
What Starmer did to win the majority was
1) Stop actively sabotaging Labour
2) Get extremely lucky with Farage splitting the Conservative vote.
Dragging the party rightwards *cost* him a lot of votes!

as per usual, ian said the most important thing - the question is how long before trump's supporters start to sour on him. that will determine everything. would he manage to dismantle democracy before that moment or not.
What democracy?
@@weirdlytrue the one that will be missed, believe me.

Just gossipy party line news. How is this more than 14 year old dross?
I'm appalled! Ian Hislop used "incidences" to mean "incidents". There is no hope, no hope at all …
as always it is lovely to get the perspective from over the pond.
it really is bet to put the US on ignore as long as the current occupant of the white house

05: 35 calling China “communist” is like calling the NSDAP “socialist”.
it’s in the title, but is completely meaningless.

well. it is true that unsustainable growth, is just that. unsustainable.
there is a mythology spawned by capitalism that there must *always* be growth.
the more, the better.
it isn’t natural, meaning that such a thing in nature, doesn’t exist.
for everything that does grow, there is an equal and opposite decay.
Just have to point out - there is no such thing as a "Roman salute". The idea that Romans used a stiff-arm salute came from silent movies of the '20s, and that's where the Italian fascists of the 20th century got the idea. Just don't ever say "Roman salute", it's a stupid thing to say.
Indeed, and the film-makers were inspired by history painters of the 18th and 19th centuries.
How did the Romans salute?

Why did harry not go to court so disappointed
Did you listen? He was offered a settlement so if he went to court and won, if the judgement was less than the settlement that was offered, he would be responsible for both his own and the defendant’s legal bills.
I know judgements so much better
It is disappointing - how the system is rigged to stop justice being processed. This is an outrage upon our democracy's legal arm, and it is deliberate bar.@@ladyflimflam
You guys do realise carbon budgets are finite right? Because neither Labour nor Conservatives appear to.
Finite? They're *fiction*.
we're already at +1.5C (+1.7C this month) and the ice was already melting at +1C -plenty to trigger most of the Tipping Points with just a bit more time. That includes AMOC halting.
@Timlagor I do totally agree, with the point you are making about the achievability of the budgets themselves, due to inaction.
However, I was actually talking to a wider point which I think is still valid, which is that I don't think the physical & chemical principles, probabilities and dire conclusions are very well understood when I listen to the discourse on this.
The way folks speak, including a couple of times on this podcast, (which is a shame to hear, but I'm not cancelling my subscription), feels like they are referring to arbitrary targets made to sound good, instead of quantified values based on hard science which guarantee certain levels of impact. It also feels like the discussion frames impact as future incalculable hypotheticals, instead of now-nailed-on impacts and risks which are already happening.
So in summary, I agree with you, but I still think there is a legitimate reason to worry about climate literacy in journalism.
And politics. And the civil service. And planning. And architecture. And farming. And the NHS.
But mostly in the White House.
If I could quote from the January 2023 review of the BBC's economic journalism: “Too often, it’s not clear from a report that fiscal policy decisions are also political choices; they’re not inevitable, it’s just that governments like to present them that way.”
You've accepted "economic growth" without testing whether or not it is possible, or desirable -- when there's a growing body of evidence that the post WWII model of high and sustained growth is now over, and certainly, that ecological problems cannot be solved while that policy objective is at the core of government operations. Certainly the entire idea of "green growth" is a fallacy.
Is the Eye not capable of free thinking?
Helen needs to google bat bridges on the A11 and A1270.
I do enjoy listening to Helen but over several episodes its become very obvious she really has no interest in the countryside whatsoever.
*9.25* In fact there is evidence this is the Roman salute; there are numerous images of Roman Emperors with the upraised outstretched arm
No, there isn't. An outstretched arm is and outstreteched arm. A 2nd small disagreement salute is exactly what Musk did.
Well done Prince Harry and Meghan you’re the best of our royals.
This ought to be renamed 'The Helen Lewis Lecture".
Would be nice if Adam McQueen were allowed to contribute more.
she got the democrat analysis so wrong i'm literally questioning if i can even listen anymore. like... how can you be so wrong?!
