Two journalists who have held and still hold the line. Thanks for highlighting and reminding us of the horrendous decline of government and democratic systems and institutions. Thank you for holding the perpetrators to account. Labour must do this when they get in power.

That was brilliant, a breath of fresh air. Really enjoyed the interview. Couldn't have been better. Loved it. Two very intelligent and genuine people. Many thanks indeed.

Back when the official opposition was really satirists, one of the producers of Spitting Image was confronted by Kelvin Mackenzie. «Sun readers hate your show, you're disrespecting them», or something along those lines. Spitting Image producer replied: «You've got a piddling circulation of three million, I get 12 million tuning in. Why should I listen to you?».

Great interview two of my favourite political commentators thoroughly enjoyed it. I was stopped from buying James's book and told I had to wait till Christmas day to read it, least I know it's not socks again.

O’Brien should have written a chapter on himself regarding self indulgent, self publicising, ranting polemicists who tell 1/8 truths & make irrational wild assertions. Please be aware of the difference between evidence & proof. Eg. one quotation can easily misrepresent someone. It’s uncanny how most of the criticisms of the 10 can generally be applied to O’Brien himself. And indeed Maitliss come to that!

The BBC needs more intelligent, long form, conversations that HONESTLY reflect people’s concerns. You can’t just tell people that they’re just WRONG to feel what they feel & insult them! When people explain their problems with immigration, for example, there are points that the majority agree with ; Numbers to high because we haven’t the housing or infrastructure investment to keep-up. Politicians say, “We hear you”. Next year the numbers increase AND we build less houses & don’t build all the new schools, hospitals, doctors etc. What do people do?

Dame just saw this on my phone ,but currently at work on frosty Sunday morning,so I guess living in broken Britain means I have no choice but to give up my weekends to work because having a job in this country is not enough to survive and feed your family,when your having tea and toast for your dinner,that's when you know your in a country trying to survive rather than living. What a shame 😞

James O'brien is the best journalist by far.

I could barely listen to this all the way through, never mind read the book - it's all so terribly depressing what has become of this country. Possibly the worst thing about it all is that there's nobody, politically, standing up to it. Even if Starmer wins the next election, it'll still be pretty much business as usual. Perhaps a little less extreme, but not hugely. We need a genuine political revolution. We need to try turning the country off and on again.

I don't know if it is the few glasses of red I've had, but the last bit when they talk about Emily being mentioned in the book made me feel emotional

Brian Walden ended an interview with James Callaghan because he wouldn’t answer a question on Weekend World. The programme ended and Tom & Jerry cartoons were shown.

Congrats James👏, You got your analysis and critical evaluation so well. This book should be read by all current academics to make a change to our country. Here speaking a former refugee 👍 excellent book, at the right time where changes can still be made

Lol. No links? How much is it?

This totally inspiring interview between two level-headed top-drawer journalists, on what seems an intriguing book exposing these people for who they are, pity mainstream media no longer do coverage like this.
