If the BBC made their audio recordings from the main concourse of Waterloo station they might get more listenable output. Noises off continue to enhance these podcasts.
Not unable to leave X, the government, or rather Starmer, is unwilling. The question is why? Starmer has either made some pact that compromises his independence of action on this or he is simply in craven fear of the response from Trump. This is so obvious it begs the question why it isn’t challenged more robustly and more widely?
Am I alone in not understanding why this defense spending imperative isn’t used as an opportunity for jobs creation in drone development and manufacture and at the same time as an excuse to grasp the nettle of taxing wealth with determination?
There seems no appetite to rock the boat, make change or challenge orthodoxy. More undeniable evidence of a sellout to those invested in the maintenance of that status quo and orthodoxy. Oh and by the way, has the return of McSweeney to Starmer’s side anything to do with all this?

Thank you Ian, for your entertaining commentary. I do enjoy it. I thought the biscuit noises were surprisingly funny.
So infuriating ! Many thanks for your excoriating summary of the Starmer government.
You could equally be referring to the Australian government on so many issues .
Especially a failure to make use of a handsome political majority .
