The End Is N.I.
<p>Does it matter when a Government breaks a keystone promise? Former Blair advisor <strong>John McTernan</strong> joins us to look at Boris Johnson’s punitive National Insurance hike and ask whether even a serial liar can get away with a whopper like this. What sort of devil is in the detail of the Government’s social care plans? Plus, on the <strong>20th anniversary of 9/11</strong> we ask whether the baleful effects of the terrorist attacks on Western politics could ever have played out differently. </p><p><br></p><ul><li><em>“Breaking a promise is a profoundly important moment for any government… Promises go to leadership, and that matters.” </em><strong><em>– John McTernan</em></strong></li><li><em>“The likelihood that we’ll fall into a conspiracy theory is so much greater that at the time of 9/11 simply because of the way we access information now.”</em><strong><em> – Minnie Rahman</em></strong></li><li><em>“There are people within Labour who want to seek out new ideas and energy with the aim of crushing them.’”</em><strong><em> – John McTernan</em></strong></li><li><em>“It’s not the rate that matters, it’s the complexity. This is a new layer of complexity, and that always benefits the rich.” </em><strong><em>– Alex Andreou</em></strong></li><li><em>“Johnson was elected on levelling up and now he’s going to level down, to the tune of £1,000 a year for some people.”</em><strong><em> – John McTernan</em></strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p><a href="http://www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow</a></p><br><p>Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Minnie Rahman and Alex Andreou.
