Why We Deserve Better Than Reeves And Starmer | Marina Purkiss | Jemma Forte

Bold Politics with Zack Polanski

Show Notes

How can we tell a better economic story that shows people they don’t have to accept the status quo of rising inequality? What would a new media landscape look like under the Green Party? How can we make the necessary long term public investment in our infrastructure without causing a short term spike in people’s mortgage prices?

Zack Polanski speaks to hosts of The Trawl, Jemma Forte and Marina Purkiss about the current state of UK politics and economics.
