This week we’re joined by the Leader of Cumberland Councilfor a proper chat about politics — how he got into it, what keeps him going, and what it’s really like trying to run a council in the middle of everything that’s going on right now.

We talk about devolution and what it actually means forpeople living here, the plans for Workington Port, and how that famous West Cumbrian mentality plays into local decision-making. There’s also talk of the Liz Truss budget, the mess it left behind, and how politics has become more polarised than ever - both online and off.
