Used to be Labour was left, Tories were conservative. Now it seems each party is trying to be just like the other. This right before PM Rishi Sunak shocked everyone by scheduling a new election for July fourth. And stirring it up is the infamous right wing racist Nigel Farage who plans to campaign for Trump and is head of he far right Reform Party. Meanwhile there’s the Greens who are a growing force. Then there’s We Deserve Better, which is backing independents like former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, whose successor as Labour leader – and therefore contender to become Prime Minister – is Keir Starmer who our guest says is more Blair than Tony Blair. Embracing Tory positions. Why should we in America care what happens? They are a lot like us, only different. And the fate of Britain matters a lot to the whole world. Just ask Gazans.
