“We’re being noticed, our influence is being noticed. I had Allison Pearson on the show last night talking about plod knocking on her door last Sunday for something she said on X a year ago, and Elon Musk pick this all up.

“He posted last night and saying that the show had beaten Sky and the BBC ratings combined.

“He’s making the point, Elon, that basically people have had enough of old style mainstream media. So a big thank you to Elon Musk.”
