5 Questions: The Reform Party, Jeff Bezos, and Apple vs The Government


Listen Later

This week I’m answering another five questions that you’ve sent in and we’re covering a range of topics as always, from the Reform Party, and Jeff Bezos controlling The Washington Post, to Apple fighting the UK government, and Keir Starmer increasing defence spending.


Chapter:

00:36 - Can the UK’s Reform Party establish themselves as a top-two party by the next general election?

10:28 - Why is Keir Starmer prioritising defence spending over public services and foreign aid?

14:05 - Why is Jeff Bezos telling the Washington Post to focus on free markets and personal liberties?

20:10 - Why does the UK Government want access to our iPhones?

25:32 - Who’s the winner from Labour’s housing reforms?
