365 days on Planet Rishi

October 25, 2023 23:30 - 1 hour - 56.2 MB

October 11, 2023 23:30 - 59 minutes - 54 MB

It’s an 'alright' from Liverpool this week as the rocket orbits the Labour Party Conference.

September 27, 2023 23:30 - 1 hour - 55.2 MB

Liz Truss on her ‘pro-growth’ economy and traditional Conservative policies

September 20, 2023 23:30 - 1 hour - 55.6 MB

Both co-pilots welcome the U-turn but Liam is concerned about who will be paying for net zero, and the economic consequences of easing the targets.

Should we be picking on pensioners?

September 13, 2023 23:30 - 54 minutes - 49.5 MB

It’s official the interparty name calling has began, a sure sign that a general election is in the offing. And what’s all this about the triple lock and picking on pensioners? Only your co-pilots have the answers.  Allison thinks we should be focusing less on the triple lock and more on the ‘hair-raising’ pay to pensions in the public sector while ignoring those in the private sector without a pension. While Liam thinks the Government should be spending more on those that rely entirely on t...

Back to school, back to politics

September 06, 2023 23:30 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MB

August 31, 2023 05:00 - 57 minutes - 52.4 MB

A heat storm in a teacup

July 19, 2023 23:30 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MB

There’s something in the air this week, but what is causing the temperature to rise in the rocket of right thinking this week? Is it the woke banks telling you how to think before depositing your money or is it the 'Nudge Unit' colouring in all the maps in a sea of climate change red? Only your co-pilots have the answers. Both co-pilots are worried that climate alarmism has gone completely berserk. Allison is concerned that familiar scaremongering tactics are being used to crank up the fear...

July 06, 2023 10:01 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MB

It’s the 75th birthday of our National Health Service but your co-pilots are feeling far from ready to celebrate… Allison thinks it’s less of a national health service and more of a national disaster, and Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak is too busy with a 15 year workforce plan to fix anything quickly. Liam thinks the PM will struggle to meet his targets across the board including the NHS, whilst Allison was surprised to agree with former PM Tony Blair, when he said more private elements need ...

It's just not cricket

June 28, 2023 23:30 - 58 minutes - 53.1 MB

Following the Bank of England increasing interest rates, a mortgage crisis is looming. A week on, at Prime Minister's Questions, Sir Keir Starmer is appealing to the traditional "red wall" seats, saying Labour is now the party of homeownership. Liam quickly points out that while inflation is a global phenomenon, the political costs for the Conservatives could be 'catastrophic'. Allison agrees, reckoning Labour will lose the red wall seats won by Boris Johnson in 2019.  With Labour calling ...

The economy, stupid

June 21, 2023 23:30 - 59 minutes - 54.2 MB

Mad night at the circus

June 14, 2023 23:30 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MB

The summer silly season isn’t yet upon us but already things have descended into circus mode, with Boris Johnson’s resignation as MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip. But did he jump or was he pushed? And will he go down without a fight? Allison thinks Boris Johnson is being hung out to dry in a ‘witch hunt’ and doesn't believe any former Prime Minister deserves.  Whilst Liam is quick to identify the holes in the recent Covid inquiry, which he thinks shows our country in a poor light.

"I told you so" doesn't quite say it

June 07, 2023 23:30 - 1 hour - 54.9 MB

There’s a lot to discuss this week; the latest lockdown report, Sir Keir Starmer taking on the Unions and some High Court action. Your co-pilots are strapped in ready to give their take. It's a big week for the covid misinformation brigade as the latest lockdown report lands in the rocket. Is retribution in the air?

Through the looking glass

May 31, 2023 19:32 - 1 hour - 54.9 MB

Where are all the grown ups? This is the burning question our co-pilots are asking today. Amongst the latest drama at Westminster not to mention the This Morning sofa, our co-pilots feel as if they’re now  living through the looking glass. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer’s energy strategy is under (a carbon emitting) fire, which Allison describes as an act of ‘national suicide’ too reliant upon foreign strategies to be virtuous enough for the green lobby. Whilst Liam thinks the Labour leader...

The great Tory immigration lie

May 24, 2023 20:30 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MB

Inflation has slowed but the latest bombshell immigration figures are in. Could the Conservative party be heading for a possible 1997-style landslide election defeat? Liam thinks the latest immigration figures could give Labour the leg up they need, but only if they start ‘talking tough’ and stop trying to appease their most Left leaning voters. Joining the rocket this week is Nigel Farage, who buckles in next to the co-pilots to give his take on the latest immigration figures, and why he t...
