I'm joined by producer Little Harry. How are you this morning? Good, sir.
00:00:30.740
Good, it's Friday, right? It's good. Yeah, it's great. Let's go.
00:01:24.200
All right, but let's just jump straight into it.
00:02:19.840
it's the most powerful person in the Civil Service.
00:02:26.980
The Cabinet Secretary is an extremely powerful person.
00:02:44.760
can pick, the Prime Minister can pick whoever they want
00:02:54.980
and there's no question of getting a new Cabinet Secretary.
00:03:03.800
The head of the entire Civil Service, in essence.
00:03:32.620
The same Cabinet Secretary would be in that job
00:03:37.160
Anyway, this one's only been there for about a year,
00:05:15.800
but because we're already right at the bottom of,
00:05:34.100
you're already clinging on by your fingernails,
00:05:41.940
and now you're clinging on by two remaining fingernails,
00:05:49.340
the whole government was on a completely stable footing,
00:05:52.680
and suddenly the cabinet secretary resigns out of nowhere,
00:06:16.520
he would need to replace the cabinet secretary immediately.
00:06:21.400
so some of the blurb on the iPaper at least says,
00:06:23.580
PM sacks head of civil service with immediate effect,
00:06:26.800
the third departure in a tumultuous week for Downing Street,
00:06:37.260
Sir Chris Warmold is ousted after only a year in the job,
00:06:44.200
as former deputy PM Rainer criticises extra costs,
00:06:53.100
while up to 30 Labour MPs threaten rebellion over migration crackdown,
00:07:00.420
they're not upset about us being demographically replaced in our own ancestral homeland by millions of foreign people,
00:07:10.920
they're threatening rebellion about any sort of crackdown on migration.
00:07:37.000
as Labour women demand PM act over peer linked to paedophile,
00:07:46.300
Nandy's more worried about that than anything else,
00:07:50.020
not worried about the untold number of sex crimes and rapes that go on in the country due to immigration,
00:07:57.460
Lisa Nandy very heavily connected to the Runnymede Trust,
00:07:59.740
was it her father that even founded it or something,
00:08:05.000
explicitly trying to make our country multicultural,
00:08:10.320
not worried about all the crimes that that entails,
00:08:15.040
but a female outrage that a lord had campaigned on behalf of a paedophile,
00:08:21.280
someone that had sexually explicit images of children,
00:08:26.040
far be it from me to suggest that Lisa Nandy's got her priorities wrong,
00:08:38.400
the absolute wrong person to have anywhere near the top of government,
00:10:15.900
didn't come here until she was in her early 20s,
00:10:59.300
but the reason why I go from a lukewarm monarchist,
00:26:21.020
and Schroder's were one of the biggest players,
00:26:43.820
and move stuff around between each other loads,
00:59:28.240
I don't know if you've ever been in a conflict,
01:01:23.120
a fleet of five British East India Company vessels,
01:06:13.260
what was the Freddy Krueger franchise film then,
01:06:42.700
Twat and Pillock have been submitted and accepted,
01:07:31.440
I've done a whole load of content all about the life of Admiral Lord Nelson on Epochs,
01:07:39.300
consider signing up for as little as £5 a month to become a bronze tier member,
01:07:43.600
and look at the hundreds of hours of content behind the paywall,
01:07:54.760
I can't remember whether it was at St Vincent that he lost his arm or his eye,
01:08:01.160
so he didn't lose his arm and his eye in the same thing,
01:08:15.700
you were going to report on the rape gang inquiry,
01:08:32.180
what I plan to do is talk about it intermittently as well,
01:09:06.900
I honestly can't thank you enough for tuning in,
