"The 6th biggest economy in the world is run by infantile fantasists with no understanding of financial markets.... There's nothing progressive about driving the economy of a cliff"📉⛰️

I got onboard with @reformparty_uk when I heard @benhabib6 talk on the @LiamHalligan and @AllisonPearson 's #PlanetNormal. Things have moved on and I now consider the party - now Ben's former party - to be controlled opposition. I judge them by their actions and not their words. Still a big fan of Ben, yet @RupertLowe10 and @RestoreBritain_ emerged and appear to be saying, and more importantly 'doing' the rights things... for now at least. I'd rather contibute to Rupert's crowdfunding than pay obscene levels of tax and fund the BBC t.b.h. The legacy parties have sold us out for selfish/idealogical reasons - the Green Party and Lib Dems have totally lost the plot... also likely captured by outside forces. I also like what the SDP has to say but they have little voice. So, for now at least, I feel a sense of optimism with Restore Britain - it doesn't have to be so shyte; politics, and politicians, need to serve the best interests of the domestic population and its time they were reminded of that. I truly hope that Ben and Rupert come together at the right time.
I’ve just listened so moving, so much respect for Siobhan. If you’ve not listened to #planetnormal please check it out. Liam & Allison don’t mess around, they say it as it is.
Agreed Ben. I voted Reform last time out as I heard you on the @LiamHalligan and @AllisonPearson#PlanetNormal - @reformparty_uk demise has happened since. I madly, truly, deeply hope that you and @RupertLowe10 can form an alliance of some kind so we can get back to old school normal (as a minimum). I’ve read many posts since the @RestoreBritain_ launch and there’s a genuine sense of optimism for the first time since pre-pandemic. I believe there are good times ahead if we can get honest people back at the helm and root out the corruption that has plagued us for decades. Fight, fight, fight.
I too listened to that episode of #PlanetNormal yesterday - and felt soothed by @LiamHalligan and @AllisonPearson's connecting me to other residents on the Rocket of Right-Thinking (tm), such as yourself.
@policylaila is indeed an adornment on the political life of the nation!
@AllisonPearson ‘my moment’ - day 1 of lockdown. I turned the radio (4) off, rode to an empty office and never turned it back on. Then I found #planetnormal . Not sure that’s worth a mug 😉
🎙️ Planet Normal Podcast 🎙️
I had an absolute blast talking with Liam Halligan on Planet Normal about my life, my work, and the extraordinary world of dance.
It’s lively, personal and full of ideas — from 5 SOLDIERS to A Thing of Beauty and the power of freedom in art.

Love reading your column, Allison. And your PlanetNormal with Liam was a place of sanity for me during Covid.
Love that you've listed @KeirStarmer as the place to go on X for your daily laughs! There's nothing like his PR team's videos, attempting in vain to make him look statesmanlike, to bring a chuckle to your day 😋
@LiamHalligan Just listened to your interview with @KathrynPorter26 on #planetnormal. This is essential listening for anyone, on either side of the Net Zero debate. Kathryn speaks truth to power (pun intended) in a cogent and factual way. That the net zero target has the same chance of being achieved as pigs flying was something of a revelation!
Never know who you might bump into at the bar!! I’ve been following #planetnormal since the very first episode. One of the few things that kept me sane over the Covid years! (He’s taller in real life 😉)
PLANET NORMAL is back 🚀🎤🎧
Climb aboard the "rocket of right-thinking" is back –and blast through the nonsense fuelled by precious common sense!
Co-Pilot @AllisonPearson is fresh from her sun lounger.
We convey our outrage at the arrest of comedian and Father Ted writer Graham Linehan over three tweets.
And discuss the fall-out from Angela Rayner's tax irregularities – has Keir Starmer even got the power to sack her.?
Our Planet Normal stowaway this week is former Home Secretary, Rt Hon @SuellaBraverman MP – who assess the Tories' prospects and the rise of Reform, while renewing her long-standing calls to leave the ECHR
