Summary

• OGWN Live in Hove, Weds 9 Oct. Tickets here. • New second live date in Liverpool, Tue 24 Sept. Tickets here. Starmer has been in office more than 50 days – at least he’s beaten Liz Truss there, but his approval ratings have fallen. Is that because people now know more about him and don’t like what they see? Or is it just a natural decline in popularity? Plus, the UK’s criminal justice system has been described as being in “crisis”. Prisons are overcrowded and there aren’t enough prison officers. What can Labour do to solve things and how much work is needed? Penelope Gibbs, director of Transform Justice, joins the panel. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, Oasis are back – what else would the panel definitely maybe like to see return from the ’90s? • Get exclusive Nord VPN deal here - nordvpn.com/ohgodwhatnow.
