In the new Reel Politik, Jack and Tom are joined by freelance campaigner, writer, and purveyor of fiery takes Jude Wanga (@judeinlondon on Twitter) for the first of a two-part discussion of the manifestos the Labour and Conservative Parties are offering the British electorate in our current general election. The meat of the manifestos will be dealt with in part two, but in this first instalment we turn our attentions to various supplementary issues, such as how Labour can operate at a local level, how it can involve campaigners from the extra-parliamentary left and – as the title might suggest – how it can broach the broader issues of Brexit and immigration. We also put aside a few minutes to put the “Reel” in Reel Politik by catching up with the best TV and films we’ve seen. And, to top it all off, slugs are salted into oblivion as we consider the widespread allegations that the nominally impartial BBC has a somewhat Tory slant.
