  • Iain Dale can't help but applaud caller Jan's "magnificent rant," which features a defence of Keir Starmer and a warning about the risks of a "Trump-style" government.
    Jan argues it’s too early to judge Labour’s efforts after inheriting years of Conservative mismanagement. She criticises the right-wing press for unfairly nitpicking Labour while highlighting the party’s focus on fair pay and improving living conditions.
    She also highlights how Starmer is 'working to rebuild the country' after decades of neglect, while warning against the rise of far-right populism, drawing parallels to Trumpism in the US.
    Jan thinks that adopting similar divisive policies in the UK would lead to increased hatred, inequality, and societal decline.

    "A Tory minister can sleep in ten different women's beds in a week. A Labour minister gets it in the neck if he looks at his neighbour's wife over the garden fence." - Clement Atlee. Still as relevant today as it was then.

      @@777jxh Yes but that doesn’t it make it right with Starmer and his Labour cronies? We elected him to improve this country, the last 6 months they have systematically lied in their manifesto promises and shown blatant arrogance to the uk people on ten other reasons I’ve shown above here! Yes the tories have been apalling particularly during and since Covid but Labour are now crucifying the country with many of his policies now and the future especially taxing and the method it’s used.
      Basically we need a new democracy system
      and new people away from the traditional two party system and not just Reform. It needs some new idea and challengers and real thinking and not just right and left!

    Pensioners on the poverty line won't be losing their WFA. There's an argument to be had that they may struggle with applying to keep it with the local authority. Surely a neighbour or relative can help out, if we're talking about applying online.

      Reform Farage are Tories but more far right.

    Well done that, lady 😊 She's right about the millionaires in reform and the tory party. Yet they claim to understand 'ordinary ppl'.
    Right wing press never, ever held the previous tory govt to account the past 14 years. Labour have been in just 5 months, and they can't stop moaning 🙄
