Ben Habib: Britain now has more than £3 trillion...

Britain now has more than £3 trillion of national debt. We are spending around £3,500 every second just servicing the interest. And this Government is still borrowing, taxing and spending as though there is no limit. There is. You cannot keep borrowing. You cannot keep taxing. You cannot keep increasing spending. You cannot keep pretending weak growth will somehow solve itself. There is a day of reckoning coming.

Ben Habib: Domestic crime is an absence...

Domestic crime is an absence of national security as well, in one sense. When we are letting, in all these undocumented people from France, young men, fighting-age men coming to the United Kingdom, committing crimes against the people of the United Kingdom, that's a national security issue. We see it through a criminal justice prism, but actually that's a national security issue. And we are setting aside the security of this country, both in terms of our international engagement as well as the way we governed ourselves domestically. Our criminal justice system is not fit for purpose. It's fallen apart. I think part of the reason is that we've had 30 years effectively of left-wing government. Yes, the Tories were in office for 14 years, but they behaved like a left-wing government. And a left-wing government is long on welfare, long on handing out freebies to everyone, long on spending on the NHS, but they never talk up the need for criminal justice, for bearing down on crime, for national security, for funding the armed forces. That is the preserve of the right wing. And even though the Tories were in office for 14 years, they were not behaving like a right wing party. We desperately need to reacquaint ourselves with that form of political philosophy if this country is to stand a chance.

Ben Habib: We are in an abusive relationship...

We are in an abusive relationship with our own government. For years the public has been hammered by Covid lockdowns, Ukraine, the Middle East and a relentless cost-of-living crisis. All the while, Britain has been sitting on its own energy reserves. Now, with prices surging and geopolitical risk rising, the Government suddenly approves Jackdaw. Why now? Because reality has finally smashed through the ideology. Every country needs cheap bountiful energy. It is critical for prosperity and security. Our government has been and is abusing us.

Ben Habib: It was deeply upsetting...

It was deeply upsetting to watch the CH4 revelations about @reformparty_uk Senior figures in Reform appearing to conspire to step round electoral law to allow foreign funding of “off book” polls is frankly disgusting. And it appears @Nigel_Farage was fully in the picture. This cannot be characterised as entrapment, which is the line being taken by Farage. Entrapment is a defence against law enforcement agents inducing a breaking of the law. The ideas, it would appear, all came from Reform. I fought a campaign in 2024 for the democratisation of the party and to introduce checks and balances to prevent precisely this sort of thing happening. I failed in that campaign. It is tragic seeing Reform collapse in a swamp of sleaze.
