@quietriotpod.bsky.social I’ve just listened to Friday’s episode looking at Burnham’s Nation Care Service proposal and Triple Lock reform and wanted to come on here to sing its praises, but I can’t say it better than Georgie has below, so I’ll just say thank you for a truly wonderful episode.

OMG it’s like @snellarthur.bsky.social is in my head, answering all the questions I have. This time on undersea cables and how much of a global shitshow a big attack on them would be.

One of the most interesting debates in current international security is the degree to which we’re reliant on undersea cables and the degree to which these aren’t at all protected! I spoke to @katjabego.bsky.social about her excellent new book on the subject. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

“If you had shown me the Greens before Polanski versus now, as two static pictures, it looks like massive progress. But because his ambition and rhetoric got a little cocky and out of control in early 2026, he's now having to rein it in, and they've ended up looking like they're on the back foot.”

Everytime you think they can't get any better another episode comes out and blows your mind! Beautifully personal and wonderfully patient when explaining a issue that people are determined to present as a full dismantling instead of the readjustment that it actually is.

This is a superb episode, not least the parts that dig into the realities of the triple lock, how major reform takes time, and also how parties responded (and could have responded) to Burnham’s care pledge.

"It is hard enough to be a carer for your own loved ones. The tenderness I dispensed to my mother, came from a battery she had charged with five decades of love. Being able to muster the energy and patience it takes to care for a complete stranger... Well, it's magical. It's a sort of superpower."

In short, Burnham may have pulled off that magic trick that, hitherto, only Tories have managed: to establish himself as the "Change Candidate" despite being the sitting PM.

“It's a bold strategy. It forces opponents to make a similarly big offer or they look irrelevant. An offer which I don't think they have the ideological hinterland or intellectual capacity to make. They will end up getting into massive trouble, if they try to match Burnham's policy size and scope.”

“I monitor several US Midterms models. Numbers are not always bulletproof, but the direction of travel, so as long as they don't change the model, you can usually trust. All of them have increased the probability of Dems flipping both House and Senate. The public is moving very much against Trump.”

“Anyone watching the entire meeting between Trump and Burnham would see that Chagos was a very minor part of the discussion... Trump had to be prompted and it was so off his radar he didn't know what the journalist meant initially. But UK headlines and coverage present it as the top burning issue.”
