Jack and Geraint are joined by guru of Reel Politik Thought Tom Blackburn (@malaiseforever on Twitter), a writer and editor for New Socialist and contributor to Tribune and the Guardian. Tom breaks down the labyrinthine political developments that took place over the week or so surrounding Labour's annual conference, in which Kieth Starmer delivered an endless speech written by the *politically* bald Phil Collins and rigged the party rules to shut the left out of the leadership indefinitely. Tom is an informed and erudite voice on any number of political matters, and especially the (arduous) struggle for socialism within the Labour Party, so those who want a clear-eyed take on Starmer's right-wing ideological project should check this episode out: along the way we read ridiculous pieces by Robert Peston, by Tanya Gold for the-other-cow-site (alongside mikegapes.co.uk) Unherd, and some stuff from the now-buried leaked Labour report into how the party's right purposefully threw elections while Corbyn was leader.
