    Early June 2021 ¦ Nuclear Dom ¦ Has Labour Lost Its Purpose?

    Adam and Alex digest the Cummings select committee so you don't need to watch all 7 hours of it.

    We also have a more general discussion about Labour. Where are its new heartlands? Who are its new base? Is there even a place for the Labour party of old (or new) in 2021 the way things are changing?

    Let us know your thoughts on the future of Labour and the direction on UK politics on Twitter and Facebook @CentristDads

    Early April 2021 ¦ Flags - The Right's Virtue Signal? ¦ Hartlepool - The Next Red Brick To Fall?

    This fortnight we discuss the government's cunning use of flags to distract us from repeated failures of the pandemic and Johnson's cash-for-you-know-what scandal.

    We also cast our eyes to the summer's elections across Scotland, Wales, and England. We start with Hartlepool - the by-election whose candidates include 3 parachuted in and 3 previous Labour MPs. Could a loss here be the death of Starmer before he's really begun?
