Show Notes
Is politics losing its guardrails? This episode of Northstar Politics moves fast and hits hard: Gaza and the violence of silence, ICE shootings in Minneapolis and the return of fascism talk in the US, the EU–India mega trade deal, Labour blocking Andy Burnham, Reform absorbing the Tories, and the rise of right-wing grifting. We finish with a heated Let Me Land on bringing back national service and what it would mean for the social contract.
