Summary

Fragmentation special! It’s all kicking off on the right and the left. Are our panic-stricken political classes talking Britain into a Farage premiership just by making it sound inevitable? And could Zarah Sultana’s (possibly premature) launch of a new party of the anti-war left turn into a genuine threat to Labour? We’re calling it CorbTana. It’s going to catch on. Really. ESCAPE ROUTES • Hannah recommends Couples Therapy on BBC iPlayer. • Jonn recommends the US version of Ghosts. • Raf saw War at the A Love Supreme festival. • Andrew saw Goat and Infinity Song at Glastonbury. www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison with Rafael Behr, Jonn Elledge, and Hannah Fearn.

0:50.0	It's all kicking off on the right and the left. In the reform corner are our panic-stricken political
0:55.3	classes talking themselves into a Farage premiership just by making it sound inevitable. If you talk
1:01.1	about something enough, does it become true? And on the left, Jeremy Corbyn is launching a new party
