Ever feel like politics could be different? Join comedian Gráinne Maguire and journalist Marie Le Conte as they work out how we can all get more involved. This isn't just a podcast, it's Changing Politics.
This week we focus on the rise of the Far Right. If it doesn't scare you, it should. We spoke to Shabana Mahmood, MP for Birmingham Ladywood, and Joe Mulhall from campaign group Hope Not Hate, about how big the problem is, and what we can do to help stop it. We also asked both of them about the implications for free speech of no-platforming these kinds of views.
Marie and Gráinne's roundup of the week's news includes the fallout from Boris Johnson's boring resignation speech; why we can't take Andrea Jenkyns seriously; and what the hell is going on with the infinite series of votes in Parliament that, Marie reveals, has even confused some MPs. And Gráinne makes a joke about small business that makes Marie spit out her drink.
