The Two Matts
From a bonfire of red tape to Grenfell: a case study in societal failure
•
The appalling negligence and greed that resulted in 72 people dying in the Grenfell disaster is laid bare. The Matts wonder why nobody is already on remand for manslaughter. They wonder whether the system is actually broken or if it’s working as it was set up to. They wonder how people like Jacob Rees-Mogg sleep at night. They wonder how the litany of failures over Grenfell is compatible with any notion we are a genuinely progressive society. They wonder if this inquiry, like so many others before it, will actually change a thing.

Feargal Sharkey interview: The unbelievable scale of the sewage scandal
51:29|Feargal Sharkey has galvanised the nation over the scandalous - and criminal - negligence our water companies and their so-called regulators have displayed for years. Our rivers are flooded with sewage on a daily basis and the privatised water companies have been pillaged. On Sunday he’s leading a march for clean water in London and he tells the Matts why he is so determined to correct this enormous injustice. It’s a brilliant, searing interview. If you’re not already furious about this, you will be soon.Join the March for Clean Rivers this Sunday: marchforcleanwater.orgSubscribe to The New European: https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/2matts/Join The Two Matts LIVE! https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/2mattslive/
Labour’s heavy-weather Government

The Matts assess the ups and downs of the government’s first months in power ahead of what promises to be a defining moment for Keir Starmer - Wednesday’s Budget. Also - what does Jeff Bezos’s interference in Washington Post editorial policy matter? Quite a lot as it turns out. Tune in to find out why!

37:32|Does the fact that Donald Trump now thinks Keir Starmer’s Labour Party are actively interfering in the US election matter? The Matts consider how a story that should be a nothingburger has the potential to upset relations between the UK and the US for years to come. In Part 2, the Matts discuss whether or not Britain should pay reparations to the descendants of the slave trade from which this country profited so much. Also - details of how to see the Matts in the flesh on November 25!

38:52|The Matts spend some quality time with fellow podcaster Jon Sopel … reflecting on the state of Britain as described in his hit book Strangeland. And they tap into his deep Washington insight for a long view of American politics - and just how scared should we be about the prospect of a second Trump presidency. Also - podcasts! Are they the future of journalism? Enjoy!Q&A: Kamala, Climate, and Compulsory Fun? 👻
25:06|This week, Matt Kelly and Matt d'Ancona dive into Kamala Harris's Fox News interview - smart move or not? Plus, why aren't we talking more about the climate crisis?!

44:54|As parliament prepares to debate legalising assisted suicide, the Matts argue their respective corners on its desirability. Also - if they think having a German football manager is bad, wait until they find out about the King’s antecedents. The Matts despair at little England’s bottomless capacity for xenophobia when it comes to Germans.

50:27|As Keir Starmer enthuses to merchant banks and global conglomerates about opening up Britain for investment … and tearing down regulatory barriers that get in their way … the Matts wonder who actually runs the country? Not least since one of the shiny new investors are the very same people who ransacked Thames Water. And while we are talking about investment, what about the drastic cuts to local government funding that are damaging some of the most vulnerable in society? Also - Alex Salmond … is it too soon to mention the dark side?Q&A: Disappointing Keir, Tory freebies and a bit of drumming
