This discussions between the two influencers in their different parties in UK gives me a confident feeling that the moderate and realistic voice in UK is still there and (i hope) is in control backstage to the political situation, despite all the rumours about Brexit in UK.

I’d love to hear this same conversation now, after the shambles of 2022.

Thank you dear lords for keeping history alive.

Mandleson comes off as slippery as ever here. Lord Clarke tries to find common ground about the extremes of their parties and Lord Mandleson tries to writhe out of it.

Can someone tell us why these two people are still taking money off the public purse when they should be retired

To believe in Britain as an independent nation is not "disastrous". Any nation that pulls together has potential to be a force for good.
