The only trouble is they sittled down by 23 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: the time they got here. The only trouble, of course, Inda, 24 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: is there's no guarantee that thus all going to be 25 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: performing by the time they get down here, do you 26 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: know what I mean? 27 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I give it about a week actually, in fairness, 28 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see. Hi. 29 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: So Kiez rolled out the big guns, is he? 30 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: Yes? So there's a big dinner last night at the 31 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: Guildhall in London for all these business leaders from all 32 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: over the world. He's trying to get them to invest 33 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: in the UK and trying to drum up growth really 34 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: for the economy because it badly needs it. They had 35 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: British beef, there was a speech by the Prime Minister, 36 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: there was music by Elton John in person, and King 37 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: Charles turned up for dinner as well. So quite an 38 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: impressive show this country can still put on. What the 39 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: business leaders make of it, I guess we'll find out 40 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: when they start writing checks and actually investing in Britain. 41 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: But there is a lot of investment coming. Starmer knows 42 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: that for him to get this country back on its feet, 43 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: moving again and flexing its muscles on the global stage, 44 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: he needs growth. 45 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, big time. And so what I mean, they're obviously 46 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: making a bunch of investments and announcements ahead of the 47 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: Badget what's the biggest so far? 48 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: The biggest one, that eye catching one is two billion 49 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: dollars worth of investment going into London Stanstead Airport. Now 50 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: there's long been talk about heat throw expanding in West 51 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: London London Heathrow Airport. I don't think that's ever gonna 52 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: happen because it's so built up. They would be basically 53 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: demolishing villages to make way for a third runway. And 54 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: I think it's clear people have realized that there is 55 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 2: airport capacity in the other kind of regional airports and 56 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 2: Stanstead is prime for development. So two billion dollars of 57 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: private equity capital going into that to make stand Stead 58 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: better and bring it on. I mean, I just think 59 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: there's so much optimism here, there's so much good to 60 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: tap into. You just hope Stammer can just navigate his 61 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: way through some of the pitfalls he's had recently. 62 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: What do you make of that? Because I haven't had 63 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: a chance to talk to you about that. I mean, 64 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: the stuff has got real, real dusty, isn't it. 65 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: Look there's you've got this vicious conservative right wing media 66 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: who will never ever accept it didn't even like Tony 67 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: Blair and he was in power for eleven years. Yeah, 68 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: and everything was far far better here when Blair was 69 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: in charge. Look, Starmer's one hundred days in and they're 70 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: all for getting rid of them already. There are certain 71 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: sections of the right wing press, but I think judge 72 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: him after five years, not one hundred days. And look 73 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: he accepted Taylor Swift tickets. Yeah, he should have sat 74 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: at home with a big book of economics and studied 75 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: all day and maybe had a coffee and gone for 76 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: a walk and gone back to the books. You know, 77 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 2: he's only human. I do think he messed up with 78 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: the donations from Lord Ali. I mean, if you're earning 79 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: what three hundred and seventy k and Z the year, 80 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: you should be able to buy your own clothes. And 81 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: you know, honestly, you know, forty grand's worth of clothing 82 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: donations coming in from a billionaire pier. It's not a 83 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: great look when you're meant to be the leader of 84 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: the Party of the working people. 85 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, now you make a very very good point. Hey, 86 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: what do you make of Prague deciding its head absolutely 87 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: enough of the British stag panties? 88 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: I absolutely love this story and good on them, because 89 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: you travel around European cities and the last thing you 90 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: want to see is a whole load of English blokes 91 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: dressed up as superheroes, singing football songs at foreign girls 92 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: and drinking larger till they fall over. We've seen so 93 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 2: many bad cases of people, extreme cases granted, urinating on 94 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: war memorials in Estonia and Lithuania, and the people of 95 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: the Czech Republic have just had enough. So what they're 96 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: doing now is they're banning organized pub crawls from ten 97 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: pm until six am, and they're getting rid of all 98 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: the kind of stuff that attracts these stag parties in 99 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: huge numbers. So I've been to Prague. It's a beautiful city, 100 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 2: very cultured, and that's the word they're looking for. They 101 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: want cultured visitors. I think they've had enough of. You know, 102 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: Batman and Robin and Superman and the lads all heading 103 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: off from South Wales for a weekend to drink twenty 104 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: five pints a day.
