In this week's 'News Roundtable' episode, host Chris Wright is joined by political journalist and author David Osland, journalist and broadcaster Reem Ibrahim, and football journalist and broadcaster Nima Tavallaey Roodsari.
The conversation kicks off with the panel debating lockdown three years on. Nima shares how Sweden handled the virus by not locking down and compares this to the UK, sharing insight into how the virus impacted the Swedish economy. The panel deliberates whether the lockdown was right or wrong considering the lasting social and economic effects – is hindsight a wonderful thing?
The panel discusses the latest update on Starmer vs. Corbyn and speculates whether Jeremy will run as an independent candidate in the next election – did his party backstab him? Together they engage in a fascinating debate on whether true socialists in the Labour Party should split off and create a brand new party to have a chance of success in long-term electoral politics. Let’s just say things got quite heated!
We hope you enjoy the episode!
