Summary

Keir Starmer and the unions: Can Labour keep its distance from striking workers without paying a price? Or will everything get better if you picket?

No tsunamis, right?” – Nina Schick “People are dead in Ukraine because Truss told them to go there to fight and then disavowed them…She is a very dangerously stupid person on the international stage.” – Alex Andreou Written and presented by Dorian Lynskey with Nina Schick and Alex Andreou.
