@parispiked Any other party leader would be very welcome and we'll treat them all the same. Happy to accept that people don't always have to agree on everything. Hope you had a good listen though, we thought we did a good episode.

We will agreeably disagree then! My view is that once you interview a political figure it's essential to be prepared to challenge them. Otherwise whatever YOUR motives (which I understand) they have free rein...

@parispiked If we were simply a political podcast and not a political betting podcast I would agree. He said maybe 30 to 50 things that I personally would disagree with and that I would challenge him on if I was debating him. @nickluck was definitely not planning to debate him.

@parispiked I think it's the longest interview he's ever done. Occasionally he started to talk about policies and you're correct @nickluck did not challenge him on those, that was totally deliberate. We didn't have an hour for the episode and we had questions we wanted the answers to.

@parispiked We definitely don't promise to be the podcast it sounds like you want. We want to talk to people about betting on politics, election strategy and where they see politics going. We certainly didn't ask him any questions on policy and we haven't done that with any of our guests.

Getting a bit of stick over the guest in our latest episode @OborneTweets and I wondered if you think we did a bad thing. We felt like it's a podcast about political betting and the chance to get a man who is 20/1 to be next PM on was something we couldn't refuse...

🚨 BREAKING: Evan Williams has been sentenced to 3 years' imprisonment after being convicted of causing grievous bodily harm

@NevinTruesdale @GamRegGB Thank you Nevin. That last line captures it perfectly; the Gambling Act 2005 gave the Commission a dual mandate: protect consumers AND permit gambling. Somewhere along the way the second obligation was forgotten

THERE was nothing about Lord Byron in the Aintree stewards report today. I will outline why there certainly should have been in Monday's @AKBets podcast and why the @BHAStewards are failing punters on a daily basis. Questions on here for the show please. Thank you.

Biggest away win of the season for Cheltenham Town #ctfc

@SenseiChanning @Desert_Pilot @RacingTV @DCsportsvalue @WorldPool But closing and restricting accounts is still very much their thing is it not? By the way, I know at least ten people in my friend group who gamble. Not a single one uses the black market.

@parispiked Doesn’t everyone else pay ‘other ones’ and income tax?

@parispiked Oh how generous of him!!

@tony_calvin @AKBets Neil Channing is always good value and insightful.Yesterday on Nick Luck’s TV show he was wearing a ‘socialist’ tee shirt. Isn’t that virtue signalling coming from a professional gambler,who doesn’t work and pay taxes? Do people like this try to throw HMRC off their tax affairs?
