Quiet Riot, Episode 2 - All About That Base

What a start it has been to the general election campaign! Glorious gaffes and kneejerk policies galore. Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith are joined on their new politics podcast by old friends economist Miatta Fahnbulleh who is standing for Labour in Peckahm and the inimitable Ian Dunt (guess what the rating of this episode is – go on, guess) to pick over the wreckage. And in Part II we talk economic policy. Can a safety-first approach stimulate Britain out of stagnation? Plus, we talk about that Diane Abbott mess. All this and regular features Wokey Dokey, The Week's Politics in 60 Seconds (we ALMOST make it this week), and new You Gotta Troll With It.

"We hope to reach a community of listeners who want to take action - that crosses party lines. Because we think the fight that is coming - to push back the hate of populism, to say sharp elbows and stepping on minorities is not the only future - will require bridges to be built, all the way from left to right." Facts. Analysis. Laughs. Action. That's how we roll.
