“There's a weird idea that private insurance is an alternative to tax. Forcing people into private insurance is still a tax. It's not like basic care is optional. This is a conversation about how we pay. Whether it's more efficient for all of us to pool risk, then use that pot on the basis of need.”

Tbh, I was probably looking forward to this inevitable podcast more than the film itself. I have seen it and I did enjoy it but the friendly analysis of our resident experts was the icing on the cake for me.

Tuned in to QR on the off chance and there you were, the 3 of you who have kept me sane in the aftermath of Brexit. We sat on the sofa and wept 10 years ago, quietly rioting to this day. On this conveyor belt of British PMs who knows where we go next. Thanks for this episode, let’s be optimistic!

Thanks for this episode. Much appreciated Wales political analysis and our national anthem to boot. Spontaneous harmonising comes so naturally, too.

Agree 100% with Alex and Kenny on ID cards. Swift and practical for proving your identity and if you have nothing to hide, what’s the problem? Long overdue in the UK. And residence permits for EU citizens could even have prevented Brexit. Not likely to happen this time either, not Starmer’s way.

Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers
