The countdown to Labour’s first Budget is on, but what do your co-pilots make of the new Chancellor’s plans? Brace yourselves it’s another news Tsunami…
Liam isn’t convinced Labour’s plan for growth will strengthen up the public finances and believes a more prudent approach to spending is needed.
Allison agrees and is concerned if they increase National Insurance on employers it will lead to less investment and fewer jobs.
Joining your co-pilots for this week’s voyage is former Downing Street advisor and journalist Andy Coulson. The former News of the World Editor shares his thoughts on the first 100 days of the Labour government and reflects on his time at Belmarsh prison where he first formed the idea for his podcast ‘Crisis, What Crisis?’.

So I trust this jab then😢
Today in Cherkassy (Ukraine) there was an attempt to seize the St. Michael's Cathedral of the UOC.
It involved about 100 unknown people in military uniform with yellow armbands, who smashed doors, windows, and CCTV cameras.
The police were present, but did not interfere. And according to some reports, they even helped.
After the seizure of the temple, Metropolitan Feodosiy of the UOC arrived at the scene with parishioners, and fights broke out.
As a result, the invaders were driven out of the temple with fighting. The video shows how one of them opened fire, apparently from a traumatic pistol, and sprayed gas.
It is reported that Metropolitan Feodosiy of the UOC was beaten.
I hope the GLP-1 revolution can be expanded, especially when an oral version with compensation for gut slowing issues (nausea/blockage etc…)?
Hmmm. So it's ok to continue eating unprocessed food and just take a jab…
To put it bluntly, Allison, my love, stop stuffing your mouth! That is the road to thinness, not state largesse or drugs. Self-discipline is important.
As someone raised on a council estate, there is no link between obesity and poverty, quite the reverse.
On this occasion, sensible Liam and silly Allison.
No jabs — how about ample fresh food at reasonable prices!
Interesting shout on Mounjaro and Turzepatide for weight loss. According to Google, they're quite similar. Will give Mounjaro a go. 🤷
Allison's hope that these drugs can be adopted for first-line use is a bad idea in many ways. 1) as Liam said, can it possibly be a good idea to give young people (or anyone) these drugs as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle? 2) the cost will be GINORMOUS and contribute to further breakdown of healthcare systems 3) experience is limited and it's likely that the user's normal impulses will return at some point and 4) experience is limited–who knows what the longterm effects of ingesting something like this, and possibly for long periods, will result in? These drugs will prevent cancer?? Much more likely, they will be found to cause cancer.
Surely the danger with these weight reducing drugs is that use of them deals with only one feature of poor health. A person can be of an "acceptable" weight (according to the now discredited BMI) but still hugely unhealthy. A person could continue to lead a very unhealthy lifestyle but imagine themselves to be "bullet proof" because their weight is under control.
grand slamming fat busting drug , WES needs to take an iQ drug
people have to take more responsibility for there health and there familys health, eating proper food.
The goverment needs to tax junk food. and stop the food industries from manufacturing the obesity rubbish that is in the supermarkets and shops. They should force them to produce healthy proper food. Fizzy sugary drinks should be banned completlely. A big tax on sweets.
Theown out labor they are all liars.
If this was a pill to make people more industrious and intelligent Alison – I suspect – would be the first to wag her finger. I think these drugs are a symptom of a sick society but given the alternative then they're probably a better choice.
Bottom line guys most Muslims can stand the site of Israel being victorious.
