Yes, the Tory's won. But it's really not all that bad, is it? Our guest in The Tortoise Shack is writer, commentator and friend of the pod, Dawn Foster. We discuss reasons to be optimistic, learnings from the campaign, the first past the post system, the weaponistaion of antisemitism and who the likely next leader of the Labour Party might be.

Dawn is without doubt one of the best Left voices in UK politics and we are very grateful to her for her time.
