YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNish and Coco launch their campaign to banish dishonesty from our politics. But how can we stop politicians from lying? Will Moy from fact checkers, Full Fact, talks about getting politicians to correct inaccurate statements. And with a general election on the horizon next year, Will calls for an end to “bullshit manifestos”, and reveals how AI could help in the battle against the lies.
Nish and Coco welcome the new Renters Reform Bill, which has finally been published thanks to the efforts of campaigners like Anny Cullum of the tenants union Acorn. But does it go far enough? The Bill doesn't really address rocketing rents, so they’re asking if rent control is the next battleground.
Plus, the National Conservatism Conference gets Nish’s blood boiling, although he does have a rare good word for Jacob Rees-Mogg. We also introduce you to Marvel’s newest superhero: Ombudsman, and find out why Coco thinks the Tories have made her dumb.
