Description

In our longest episode ever, Laura and Jack are joined by the journalist Liam Young to talk about his new book Rise: How Jeremy Corbyn Inspired the Young to Create a New Socialism, which analyses the Corbyn movement by centring the newly engaged youth at its heart. Along the way, the gang touch on honey-horny Richard Dawkins, Amol Rajan's bizarre sycophancy towards Rupert Murdoch's evil empire, New Labour's rank authoritarianism, how Blair fucked the youth, how Blair was over-reliant on polls and created a deeply contradictory form of definitely-not-populism, and how Blair did Britpop and murdered shoegaze. A lot of Blair talk, really. Blair on the brain.
