Thrilled that Sunday with Lewis Goodall on LBC now reached 400,000 listeners, a record rajar, up 40,000 on the quarter. Thanks to so many of you who give us your company, and to all the guests who give up their time. It’s the biggest Sunday political show on radio, and second only to the BBC on TV.

I found this analysis very interesting. We are not in an era of capitalism.
It is an era of socialised risk that includes socialism for the rich - bail outs make sure the risk get richer in times of crises.
Governments avoid recessions that would clear out the zombie corporations.
Worth a listen.

The family who own Walter White’s Breaking Bad house have been driven out by the hundreds of fan visits the property receives each day.
In the award-winning drama, which ran from 2008 to 2013, the suburban house, situated in New Mexico, was home to Bryan Cranston’s lead character and his family.

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.
