Off The Party Line

In this episode of the Off the Party Line podcast, Mark Williams and Bobby Sharples discuss the recent local elections. The Conservatives gained the seat of Hartlepool in a crushing victory over Labour - what does this mean for Labour, and how will this affect Keir Starmer? Things weren't much better in the local council elections and the mayoral races were, to be generous, a mixed bag for Labour. Is the long anticipated realignment of British politics finally formalising? Taking out the heat and bringing in the light - We aim to provide a balanced view of the hottest topics of the week, providing the most generous and charitable version of the views we oppose before calmly laying out our own.

In the first ever Off the Party Line podcast, Mark Williams and Bobby Sharples discuss social media boycotts and vaccine passports. Premier League, English Football League and Women's Super League clubs will join in a four-day boycott of social media platforms in an effort to combat abuse and discrimination, but what can be done to actually achieve this? And vaccine passports seem to be moving ever closer to becoming a reality, what are the ethical and moral considerations to such a marked societal change?
