This episode is brought to you by Power to Change to celebrate Community Business Week, which starts on 29 November.

This week’s show takes an in depth look at one subject making all the headlines this week and one that tends to fly under the radar. I’m joined by Pat Younge to talk about the BBC and former first Minister of Wales Vaughan Gething to discuss Welsh politics.

This week’s guest is Labour MP for Clapham and Brixton Hill, Bell Ribeiro Addy.

Bell is what feels like an endangered species, a left wing Labour MP. She was first elected in 2019 and was Diane Abbott’s Chief of Staff for many years. You might remember Bell from our Christmas special last year.

I speak to her about the contest to be Labour's next deputy leader as voting opens this week.
