Jacobin Radio: Tariq Ali on the UK Election
Summary
<span>Suzi talks to <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/authors/63-tariq-ali" rel="nofollow">Tariq Ali</a>, </span><span>author of <i><a href="http://tariqali.org/archives/2912" rel="nofollow">The Extreme Center</a>,</i><i></i>about the UK election, Jeremy Corbyn, and the Labour Party campaign. Unlike the endless US presidential election campaign, the British general election is run on a mercifully concentrated, if intense political timetable of just twenty-five working days once the election is called by Parliament. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and if the Conservatives, the Brexit party. and the Lib Dems have their way, the campaign will focus on Brexit, which has sucked the air out of politics and worse, divided the working class and the Left without addressing what led people to vote to leave in the first place. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has made his campaign about reversing the decades-long night of austerity and the need to <span>commit £400 billion of investment to the twin crises of the climate emergency and social deprivation. </span>We get Ali's insights.</span>
