July was a HUGE month for politics, leaving David and Stephen with a tonne of stuff to unpack. So much so, they’ve had to split this month’s edition into two parts. 

In part one, David and Stephen will cover the results from the UK election, where the Labour Party secured a victory over the Tories for the first time in 14 years, the surprising outcomes from the French elections, and ending with the craziest three weeks in US politics.

If you’d like to listen to part two (on Australian politics) early, head over to the Socially Democratic Patreon, where you can get early access to content plus access to merch and more: https://tinyurl.com/45bc4wub
