  • The PM announces a mini-reshuffle, with Defence Secretary Ben Wallace leaving the post and Grant Shapps warming a new Cabinet seat for the fifth time in less than a year. Claire Coutinho becomes the new Energy Security Secretary. But does this do anything to help arrest the Conservatives' seemingly-inevitable slide toward electoral defeat next year (if the polls are to be believed). We ask Lara Spirit, of The Times.
    Jon talks to Leah Williamson, Lionesses' captain and Arsenal defender, about her team missing out in the World Cup final and the furore around Luis Rubiales and the Spanish FA in the match's aftermath.
    And Jon also speaks to former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. He talks Trump, populism and whether Australia is ready to become a republic.

      He is too busy sorting out his own finances and how much more he can make through the many contacts he now has due to holding the posts he has held. These posts opened many doors for a scumbag money grabber like him and his wife and father-in-law. Then he will swan off back to California. After helping to destroy this country.

    Leah is what a footballer should be and Sòcrates would have been really proud of her. She conducts herself to the highest of standards. She’s Articulate, interesting, intelligent, well educated, a person who gives back and someone who uses her craft as a platform to want to make the world a better place for everyone. She’s a real role model and all the pre madonna “footballers”, mostly male in the machismo “top leagues” could learn from her.

    • @garrysinclair9767
      @garrysinclair9767 11 месяцев назад +3

      Malcolm became leader of the Liberal Party in the mid-2010s in Oz. There is a rough equivalent with the UK's Tories (you're English?) Anyway, he was ousted by Scott Morrison, one of the figures in modern world politics who was essentially subverting democracy. Morrison was both a reactionary and a self-declared and proud pentecostal. Australia's Labor (sic) Party defeated his government and saved Oz from further reactionary deprivations. It is thought by some that Malcolm was a PM who perhaps was in the wrong party. He was a multi-millionaire before he moved into politics so I am not sure quite how he would have fitted with Labor. Perhaps best described as man out of his time. I quite liked him as a man and he is a staunch republican as am I.

    Asking somebody from Rupert Murdoch's Times Newspaper about Rishi Sunak and his pitiful excuse for a government being reshuffled to get another pitiful excuse for a government and expecting her to say something negative is a totally pointless exercise. The Times is about a Tory client media as it is possible to get.

      Their podcast is the UK’s leading podcast with 24m downloads as of March 2023, so would appear there is a market for this “brand of milquetoast centrism outside of the BBC”.
