The Political Party

Show 70 - MATT ZARB-COUSIN

Matt Zarb-Cousin was Jeremy Corbyn's spokesman and gives us a fascinating insight into working for him. He's still a strong advocate, not just for Corbyn as a person and politician, but for Corbyn's ideas. In this intriguing chat, Matt explains why Labour had to change and why he believes the party must become more democratic.
