That Petrol Commotion
Out early for Patreon people…
When a government fails to deliver the basics – like getting petrol to the pumps – can it ever win back the confidence it has lost? Is Keir Starmer pulling off the relaunch he needed at the Labour conference? We ask special guest Stephanie Lloyd, former deputy director of Blairite think tank Progress, if the Party’s centrists have enough to offer beyond “Not Corbyn Any More.” And can James Bond still be a fantasy of omnicompetent Britishness in an age when Britain is falling apart?
“The Army and the public quite like it when crises like this happen. The military enjoy being the people who clean up the mess.” – Arthur Snell
“We are eighteen months into the pandemic, and five years into Brexit. Where was the planning?” – Stephanie Lloyd
“James Bond allows Britain to see itself as bigger than it really is.” – Arthur Snell
Presented by Andrew Harrison with Yasmeen Serhan and Arthur Snell. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic . Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. The Bunker is a Podmasters Production
