The End of the Peers Show

The End of the Peers Show

By Podmasters

Keir is striking fear into peers with plans to ditch the Lords – but why not look at electoral reform first? The panel picks apart Labour’s plans for reform. Plus, with major strikes inbound – is this a new winter of discontent? Can the Government succeed in the Grinch narrative, or does that show just how weak our ministers are? “Just as trickle down economics has failed, trickle down democracy has failed.” – Naomi Smith  “I think Starmer is going to be quite boxed in by the economic situation. But what he could do that is different is something constitutional on the Lords.” – Ayesha Hazarika “The Tories are a very divided party, that’s why Sunak is having to drop bills or dilute them.” – Naomi Smith  “With Gordon Brown it was never going to be pithy, but it’s amazing seeing a politician believe in things.” – Ayesha Hazarika www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Get our new merch here: https://podmarket.co.uk/  Presented by Andrew Harrison with Hannah Fearn, Naomi Smith and Ayesha Hazarika.
