Is a combination of a progressive alliance, tactical voting and proportional representation the way to save the UK from Tory rule? Neal Lawson, founder of the centre-left pressure group Compass, argues that there would have been no Boris Johnson or Liz Truss if progressive parties had been able to work together. Neal, who’s been a Labour member for 44 years, also explains why he could be kicked out of the Labour Party for tweeting in favour of tactical voting.
Have Labour fallen into a Tory trap following last week’s by-elections? Nish and Coco examine why the headlines have been about the costs of green policy, rather than historic Tory defeats. Also with homeless numbers rising, why isn’t there more urgency around legislation to ban Section 21 evictions.
Plus the schoolkids who put Robert Jenrick to shame, and why Coco’s mum loves Minions.
