The Fourcast: The System is Failing

Posted on October 24 2026

This came out from Channel 4 this afternoon:

The interview happened on Thursday afternoon, and publication was delayed as a result of technical problems with my video, which are apparent if you watch this. I gather Channel 4 decided to, unusually, push this out despite that because they believed what I had to say was sufficiently interesting.

I enjoyed the interview.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy had done his background reading.

I think I won all my points. Time and again, Vicky Pryce had to say I had a good point, unless she was talking total nonsense when, for example, denying that we live in a neoliberal state.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy also had to support my arguments on occasion.

Readers here will recognise many of the points I made.

The good news was getting these views onto a mainstream channel.
