Manifesto deep-dive: Is Labour’s at all progressive?


Listen Later

Following a week of political manifestoes dropping from UK parties - Nish & Coco take a deep-dive investigation to see how they hold up against one another. With a focus on manifestoes that have left-wing approaches - they discuss what policies are the most realistic and which hold up the best under scrutiny.  Joined by political journalist Zoe Grünewald, Nish & Coco look closely at welfare policies, the NHS, taxes and social care.

Special guests Rebekah Pierre (author and social worker) and Helen Barnard (of the Trussell Trust) send the hosts their thoughts on which policies have the most potential for hope. 

And there’s a return of WTF moments featuring an iconic UK hit song and Starmer’s comeback to a surprise protest.

Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.
