Summary

In our latest Election update: If Labour are set for a massive majority, why are they still so cautious on policy? Labour’s Stella Creasy tells Andrew Harrison why the party refuses to over-promise – why Starmer won’t talk about rejoining the EU – where she stands on the controversial two-child benefit cap – plus Gaza, Sunak, Farage and how to get people believing in politics again.

I want people to feel confident.” • “The far right don’t offer you solutions. They offer you someone to blame.” • “Every big project this Government has promoted hasn’t happened.” • “We ripped up so much by leaving the EU… We cannot underestimate how damaged our reputation has been.” We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison.
