This is the second of our ’emergency podcasts’ with Professor Alan Finlayson during the UK’s 2024 general election.

Alan and Jem discuss the controversies of Labour’s de-selection of left-wing parliamentary candidates. the entry of Nigel Farage into the campaign, the politics of the party manifestos and the long-term crisis of the Conservative Party.

Come for the wholly speculative analysis about whether the Labour leadership were ever planning to purge the entire Socialist Campaign Group of Labour Members of Parliament, stay for the speculation over whether the same Labour leadership has any sense at all of who the British people are and where they work.

Marvel at Alan’s ’emergency podcast claxon’ sound-effect (even though it doesn’t always register in the recording)!`
