The Political Party

Show 332. John O'Farrell

The author of 'Things Can Only Get Better' gives his take on modern politics, the state of the Labour Party and what it's like making comedy now compared to when he started.  John is a successful author, west end playwright and satirist, working on shows like Spitting Image and Have I Got News For You. He also stood for Parliament twice. This is a great chat about politics and comedy from someone who's been on both sides of the fence.  Buy Family Politics here: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FFamily-Politics-John-OFarrell%2Fdp%2F0857529773&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cdknight%40avalonuk.com%7Cda7d7454195c4d24d5b408dc4a742425%7Cf45fc40a4a114f1ba0190c57bc0ce7bf%7C0%7C0%7C638467109878402768%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=fgQHJUR2BlyC4fM8tyDDbhQqTlh10LrYs4et3qmnX0E%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Family-Politics-John-OFarrell/dp/0857529773</a> Follow @mattforde on Twitter for the latest news   Email the show: <a href="mailto:politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com</a>  Hosted on Acast.
