“Pantomime politics seems to have bred pantomime presenting. This insistence on treating politics as a parlour game of ‘she said, he said’ actually functions to insidiously undermine democracy. Factual investigation of what policies are being implemented, discussion of why and how they may be succeeding or failing, is in woefully short supply. Instead of informed experts analysing policies and their effects, we get endless journalistic opinion on the blah blah blah of politics. This podcast is stuck in the Westminster bubble, and shows very clearly how the media and the politicians are in cahoots to create a potemkin facade of celebrity narrative and personality-based distraction instead of looking at the real facts out in the real world!”
