Today, I speak to local Sefton activist and independent councillor candidate John Rice about the issues facing people going into local politics, and the difficulties in trying to hold entrenched and established power to account. Sefton is close to Liverpool in the UK. We also chat about leftist interpretations of Brexit and politics more generally.
