The panel doesn't question whether we need to spend more on bombs. Oh no. Instead they discuss where the money has to come from. And you don't need to watch the clip to know what they say.

"The world that we lived in from 1945, a rules based intl order with America at the helm, that world has clearly ended" In the decades after 1945 the US invaded multiple countries, toppled govts, mined harbours, armed death squads & actively supported the most appalling regimes.

Govt minister Angela Eagle on the US/Israeli war on Iran: "We have always wanted a de-escalation of this conflict.. the faster that we can see a de-escalation of that conflict the better for everybody" So why have you been allowing the US to use British bases to bomb Iran?

"Where does it end?" Andreas Malm is an academic & one of the world’s leading climate scholars. The Labour govt has just banned him from coming to the UK to speak at a public event and academic conference. Outrageous. And we're still being told that Burnham represents change.

Talking about a council removing all dog poo bins Nadhim Zahawi asks, "What does it go back to?" It goes back to the Tories slashing council funding by almost 60% between 2010-2020 And maybe it goes back to people like you 'accidentally' paying millions less in tax than you should have

Mustafa Barghouti spells it out: the opposition zionist parties support Netanyahus policies when it comes to Palestinian issues so change won't come from within Israel. Instead it will only come about through external pressure, & thats why we in the west need to push for BDS.

Ali Fortescue to Ellie Chowns on the group Greens4Palestine: "This group obviously has a big influence over your partys direction... do you think they should be kicked out of the party?" Can you imagine a journalist asking, should Labour Friends of Israel be kicked out of Labour? Of course you cant

Kevin Maguire is spot on, all this talk about people stocking up is part of a wider lobbying campaign to increase defence spending. And as Kevin points out, the UK is already the 6th biggest defence spender in the world.

Neal Lawson: "I couldn't live on the meagre benefits people are getting. To suggest that we have to cut those.. actually that's where the engine of growth is, that's the people who spend.. how do you get people out spending.. not by cutting benefits of people at the bottom"

Ranvir Singh this morning: "9 million people in the UK, I find it obscene, in 2026 are on the verge of or already using foodbanks" Meanwhile the richest 50 families have more wealth than half the population. The levels of inequality in this country are staggering.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Andy Burnham.. needs to explain to communities their bins won't be collected, social services will collapse, libraries will be closed, because he's more worried about defending the genocide he's arming than working with Green councillors" Well said Zack.
