Summary
<p>Coco’s back! She’s both sleep and politics deprived, but Nish is ready to fill her in.</p><p>The government's shake-up of legal migration laws landed this week - but the news has been dominated by one question. Is Keir Starmer Enoch Powell incarnate? His speech warned that we ‘risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks together’ - a careless comment or a reaction to Reform gains? Nish and Coco dissect and take a deep dive into the government’s plans with Minnie Rahman, CEO of migrants' rights charity Praxis. </p><p>Next up, the Government are jumping for joy about the US-UK trade deal, but Nish struggles to find anything to say… is this just a downgrade portrayed as an upgrade? </p><p>The race for the next leader of the Greens is on, and will Youngblud make a foray into politics? Nish and Coco discuss how to capture the youth vote. And grassroots football teams are fighting back against the FA’s ban on trans women playing football. </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>CHECK OUT THIS DEAL FROM OUR SPONSOR </strong></p><p>Shopify: <a href="https://www.shopify.co.uk/podsavetheuk">https://www.shopify.co.uk/podsavetheuk</a> </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Useful Links: </strong></p><p>To find out more about how people will be impacted check out Praxis' socials and <a href="https://act.praxis.org.uk/join">sign up to their emails</a> for campaign actions.’</p><p><a href="https://everpress.com/gdfc-let-the-dolls-play">https://everpress.com/gdfc-let-the-dolls-play</a></p><p><a href="https://www.hackneyempire.co.uk/events/nish-kumar-nish-dont-kill-my-vibe">https://www.hackneyempire.co.uk/events/nish-kumar-nish-dont-kill-my-vibe</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Guest: </strong></p><p>Minnie Rahman, CEO of Praxis </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Audio Credits: </strong></p><p>BBC</p><p>Parliament TV</p><p>Kemi badenoch / X</p><p><br /></p><p>Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.</p><p>Contact us via email: <a href="mailto:PSUK@reducedlistening.co.uk">PSUK@reducedlistening.co.uk</a></p><p>BlueSky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/podsavetheuk.crooked.com">https://bsky.app/profile/podsavetheuk.crooked.com</a></p><p>Insta: <a href="https://instagram.com/podsavetheuk">https://instagram.com/podsavetheuk</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/podsavetheuk">https://twitter.com/podsavetheuk</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheuk">https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheuk</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/podsavetheuk">https://facebook.com/podsavetheuk</a></p><p>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUK">https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUK</a></p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.
