Show Notes
James Schneider joins the show to discuss a massive week in politics. We start with a thorough review of last week’s local elections evaluating the impact and importance for each political player. Then we look at the fallout at the top of Government as calls crescendo for Starmer to step down. James, who was head of comms for Corbyn, gives his own assessment of the media witch-hunt increasing with Zach Polanski. Imperialism is on the agenda as James gives a Let Me Land breaking down why we should really focus on modern imperialism in our daily lives. All that and more, enjoy!
