It’s 15 days until Election Day. Yesterday was a big day for talking about the issue of antisemitism in the Labour Party. It’s obviously a very tricky subject and our support is always with those being persecuted. We’d recommend reading Rachel Shabi’s article "The treatment of antisemitism in our politics should fill us with despair” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/26/antisemitism-politics-despair-prejudice-attention-conflict.

The polls are slowly inching in the right direction, so we’re in a hopeful mood.

16 DAYS TO GO - Polls

It’s 17 days until Election Day. What a weekend it’s been. Time to pick apart the election Question Time and the real lack of any kind of meaningful manifesto from the Tories. Are they getting voters to sign them a blank cheque, merely on the promise of a “quick Brexit”… which, in order to have ANY trade deals at all, they won’t be able to deliver? What on earth is going on at the BBC that means the Tory PR seems to be making it through as journalism?

Owen is one of the best voices on the left. As a yank with an interest in U.K. politics, I’ve loved this cast since Owen doesn’t get too far down in the technical British political weeds. Been fun to listen to. I hope he continues podcasting after the election!
