Lewis Goodall

Two governments took @TheNewsAgents to secret court for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction to stop you from hearing this story. The MoD is responsible for a data leak that put up to 100,000 Afghans at risk of death. youtube.com/watch?v=Zdc6MH…

🆕 Ballistic missiles 🆕 Testing facilities 🆕 Guiding systems 🆕 Satellite integration Sir Ed Davey wants to separate our nuclear deterrent from the United States. @Lewis_Goodall wants to know how much all that will cost.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has just called to congratulate us on our victory.

Asked @EdwardJDavey about the Lib Dems’ policy to divorce ourselves from US nuclear weapon cooperation.

'Do you think Putin would welcome or oppose Scottish independence?' 'Well, I don't particularly care what he thinks.' Would Russia be salivating at the prospect of a broken up United Kingdom? @Lewis_Goodall asks the Scottish Green Party's Patrick Harvie.

Asked Ed Davey about THAT Nick Clegg on nuclear power.

Pretty clear, no referendum if SNP get a majority.

Full Patrick Harvie interview with @lewis_goodall - in which he’s pressed on the question of defence and how it would be impacted by independence - “I don’t care what Putin thinks he doesn’t have a vote”

There’s much nonsense talked about Iran and its history with the US. As such, was a pleasure to sit down and talk with an actual authority, @AliVaez for @TheNewsAgents about that lack of understanding- and how it’s led us to the moment we’re in. Listen 👇. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

'Tall order' to expect US and Iran to make peace deal but 'we can't give up hope', Wes Streeting tells LBC lbc.co.uk/article/us-ira…

Sticking Plaster Politics… Alarm Clock Britain… Make America Great Again. Satirist Cody Dahler argues Starmer could learn something from Trump.

@Nicetime88259 @LBC No I didn’t. I challenged him on that whole period and the decisions the then govt made throughout the interview.

@LBC @lewis_goodall You still let him parrot the ‘no money left letter’ line Just let him say it out loud Pathetic

“Let’s not reinvent history.” @lewis_goodall challenges Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge.

'I'm even straighter than Hormuz!' Did Donald Trump know what the Strait of Hormuz was before he attacked Iran? @Lewis_Goodall hears from satirist Cody Dahler.

Read the Observer newspaper front to back so you don’t have to. I fear the left/centre left is repeating the same old mistakes. Articles arguing Brexit will be reversed because public poll against it now, that a stronger EU relationship is needed as special relationship with US is ‘stone-dead’. Smart people write polemics against populist leaders - Trump, Orban - and frankly condescending pieces about their supporters. Everything is fake news and polling. The Democrats will win the midterms as support falls for GOP after a war no one wants. STOP. We are making the same mistakes as we have for two decades now - waiting for the pendulum to swing in our favour as people realise their mistakes. The truth is people are lost because what’s in front of them is broken. The best thing we on the left can do now is stop to understand why, and develop answers to halt and reverse decline. Why rejoin an EU that clearly is powerless? Why rejoice a hallow electoral victory when it’s just another case of people voting against the other guy? Why have a foreign policy so reactive and introspective that it has the by product of rewarding despots and murderous dictators? And where is our plan for an economy that actually delivers higher living standards (hint the answer isn’t redistributing an ever dwindling pie with a mythical wealth tax.) Our politics has fallen so far - it must be about a plan and an agenda for the future. Now, tell me where I can read about that…

Unsurprisingly Streeting's statement causing outrage in pro-independence circles. Scottish Green former leader Patrick Harvie said: “Labour is showing complete contempt for Scotland and our democracy... [it] isn’t up to Streeting or Starmer, it is up to the people who live here"

'Would you like to apologise for the part you've played in the energy crisis?' @Lewis_Goodall probes @EdwardJDavey on the impact he had in the Cameron-Clegg coalition government.

'His policy to get close to Trump is now in tatters.' @lewis_goodall asks whether the President's 'consistent insulting' of Keir Starmer bothers the Prime Minister. It's simply 'water off a duck's back', according to Wes Streeting.

"The country has had enough of chaos!" Wes Streeting rules out Scottish independence, telling @Lewis_Goodall that there will be no fresh referendum even if the SNP get a majority.
