Is the new left party what the UK needs?

In This Episode

PSUK is back – and this week Keir Starmer has swung open the door to recognising Palestinian Statehood – with caveats. Nish and Coco discuss the massive change in the UK’s foreign policy stance.

 

Later, they’re joined by suspended Labour MP Brian Leishman (and his Dachshund Hugo) who voted against the government’s welfare cuts, to discuss the direction of Labour and Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn’s new political party.

 

And – since Palestine Action was banned as a terrorist organisation back in July, more than 100 people have been arrested across the UK in protest. Nish and Coco discuss the future of civil disobedience with former Government lawyer and member of Defend Our Juries, Tim Crosland.
