December 02, 2019 10 DAYS TO GO - Dedicated to Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt
It’s 10 days until Election Day. Today we take some time to speak about the two young people murdered in the terrorist attack on Friday in London. Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt were both compassionate positive influences in the world and it was an honour to have had them in the world. All the love and thoughts to their friend, family and everyone who knew them. And, with only 10 days to go, time to take stock of where Labour is and what still needs to be done

It’s 14 days until Election Day.

November 27, 2019 15 DAYS TO GO - Antisemitism
It’s 15 days until Election Day. Yesterday was a big day for talking about the issue of antisemitism in the Labour Party. It’s obviously a very tricky subject and our support is always with those being persecuted. We’d recommend reading Rachel Shabi’s article "The treatment of antisemitism in our politics should fill us with despair” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/26/antisemitism-politics-despair-prejudice-attention-conflict. And while we continue to fight for fair treatment of all people, we do that looking at Boris Johnson and his party’s actions too.

November 26, 2019 16 DAYS TO GO - Polls
It’s 16 days until Election Day. Owen’s been back to Ashfield, has the mood changed on the doors since the debate and manifesto? The polls are slowly inching in the right direction, so we’re in a hopeful mood. Revoke isn’t going down well for the Lib Dems, a second referendum to decide between a withdrawal deal and remain is the only chance remain has of happening, and the best opportunity for a successful leave if that’s the choice second time around too

November 25, 2019 17 DAYS TO GO - Balance and compromise
It’s 17 days until Election Day. What a weekend it’s been. Time to pick apart the election Question Time and the real lack of any kind of meaningful manifesto from the Tories. Are they getting voters to sign them a blank cheque, merely on the promise of a “quick Brexit”… which, in order to have ANY trade deals at all, they won’t be able to deliver? What on earth is going on at the BBC that means the Tory PR seems to be making it through as journalism? And, why supporting the “fence sitting” from Jeremy Corbyn on where his allegiance would be on a second referendum NEEDS to be supported

November 22, 2019 20 DAYS TO GO - Manifesto for the many
It’s 20 days until Election Day. Popping into the studio with Owen today is Matt Zarb-Cousin. We have the full Labour manifesto. What do we think? There are some really progressive pledges that’ll hopefully break through the Brexit quagmire the Tories are desperate for everything to focus on. Also, Owen dons his new scarf and gets chatting to fellow door knockers, they even have a sing!

November 20, 2019 22 DAYS TO GO - Debatable
It’s 22 days until Election Day. Ellie Mae O'Hagan is back with Owen. How did it go? Did Boris Johnson's bluster catch him out? Did Jeremy Corbyn manage to cut through and sell his potential? The conservative tactic seemed to be to bring everything back to Brexit, will voters notice them getting stuck in that cul-de-sac?
