  • Will Labour Deliver for Renters? (w/ Generation Rent)

    Will Labour Deliver for Renters? (w/ Generation Rent)
    Sep 15 2024

    Most of my episodes on renting have been somewhat depressing. This conversation with Ben Twomey wasn't. That's because Labour have introduced a Renters Rights Bill which - though far from perfect - could do a lot to limit the insecurity currently experienced by private renters in Britain. Ben explained what's in the bill, what's missing, and what campaigners can do to encourage this Labour government to go further for renters.

  • Will the Riots Break Britain's Prisons (w/ Ian Acheson)

    Will the Riots Break Britain's Prisons (w/ Ian Acheson)
    Sep 7 2024
    Britain's prisons were already dangerously full before the summer far-right riots. Will jailing hundreds of those rioters push the prison system over the edge? To answer that question I spoke to a fascinating guest. Ian Acheson is a former prison governor and author of the new book "Screwed: Britain's Prisons Crisis and How To Escape It"

  • From The National Front to The Southport Riots (w/ Asad Rehman)

    From The National Front to The Southport Riots (w/ Asad Rehman)
    Aug 11 2024
    How do the racist riots that have terrorised Britain these past two weeks fit in to a broader history of racism in Britain? In this fascinating episode I spoke to Asad Rehman, who grew up amid racist violence from the National Front in Burnley in the 1970s and 1980s, and who has spent his life since then campaigning against racism.
