Description

Further thoughts from Jack and friend of the show Sinan Kose (@SKTheCrusader on Twitch and @TheSinanKose on Twitter) on former Unite the union general secretary Len McCluskey's recent memoir Always Red, which we first reviewed on Sinan's stream recently. In these highlights from a longer conversation (more of which will be available tonight on the RP Patreon) we talk about the unique bind of Brexit on the left, the differences in political strategy between McCluskey and his (also left-wing) successor Sharon Graham, and go through McCluskey's account of his relationship with Keir Starmer the suspension of Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party.

In addition to a further hour and a half or so of material at patreon.com/reelpolitik very shortly, you can listen to our initial review of McCluskey's book at https://soundcloud.com/reelpolitikpodcast/reviewing-len-mccluskeys-always-red-a-sinan-kose-stream-w-jack-frayne-reid or on this very feed on your podcast app of choice.
