Labour’s Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, tells Nish and Coco why he doesn’t mind being labelled ‘The King of the North’ and why he thinks our political system needs a complete rewiring...by devolving more power to the regions and bringing in proportional representation. He also gives his reaction to the demise of his old pandemic-era foe Boris Johnson, and shrugs off concerns about the city of Manchester getting into bed with Abu Dhabi - the owners who’ve brought such success to Manchester City Football Club.
We celebrate the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the ship Empire Windrush, which brought men and women from the Caribbean to help fill Britain's post-war labour shortages. A member of the Windrush generation, Catherine Ross, tells us how they introduced the British to moisturising - among many other things! Nish and Coco meanwhile, take the Home Office to task for backsliding on promises made in the wake of the Windrush Scandal, which saw thousands of people wrongly detained, deported, or threatened with deportation, despite having the right to live in the UK,
Plus, the mortgage timebomb set to go off before the next election, the return of the austerity twins David Cameron and George Osborne, and why Rishi Sunak is “chicken shit”. Coco also reveals why footballing hardman Greame Souness made her cry…and who is the mystery PSUK fan known only as ChickenNugNugz?
Guests:
Andy Burnham, Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester
Catherine Ross, the Founder and Director of Museumand, The National Caribbean Heritage Museum
