Cathrine Jebsen-Moor, living in Scotland since 2004, describes the shameful and worsening conditions in the UK under Labour.

The episode begins with host Hans welcoming Cathrine Jebsen-Moor, who lives in Scotland and writes about British affairs. Cathrine immediately describes the 'forsmedlige tilstander' (shameful conditions) in the UK, noting that development is only going one way: worse. She highlights the unpopularity of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with two-thirds of the electorate wanting him to resign. The discussion covers everyday decay, such as poor roads in Edinburgh and long healthcare queues. Cathrine explains the economic spiral: rising taxes, fewer contributors, and a shrinking economy. She recounts a recent fuel crisis where people queued at petrol stations to hoard petrol despite high prices. Energy policy is criticized, with Ed Miliband described as a climate fanatic who opposes oil drilling in the North Sea, even as Tony Blair advocates for it. The conversation shifts to parallels between the UK and Norway, noting both lack production growth and target the middle class. Immigration is discussed, with Cathrine noting that in the UK, talking about illegal boat migrants is no longer taboo, unlike in Norway. She mentions integration examples, like Italian immigrants in Scotland who built businesses and integrated over generations. The episode touches on crime and justice, citing overcrowded prisons in the UK that release violent criminals early, while a Green Party politician suggests abolishing prisons. Defence is another topic, with the UK described as not combat-ready due to underinvestment. Surveillance is highlighted, with the UK being the most surveilled country outside China, using cameras from Chinese suppliers. The role of public broadcasting is critiqued, with Cathrine using the BBC to understand opposing views rather than for information, comparing it to NRK's brainwashing. The episode ends with a call for independent media to counter public broadcasting, and Cathrine thanks Hans for the invitation.
