    Is Keir Starmer's Leadership Making Labour Unelectable? w/ Leo Quartermain

    In this weeks episode of the podcast we were joined by Leo Quartermain to discuss Keir Starmer's leadership of the Labour party so far and if he is leading Labour down the road of being unelectable.  Starmer's leadership has been disappointing for many on the left who feel that Labour have failed to properly hold the government to account throughout the pandemic. Can Starmer lead Labour to an election victory?

    When will cannabis be legalised? w/ Tamara Krivskaya

    When will cannabis be legalised in the UK? This week we spoke with Tamara Krivskaya, a journalist at Green Queen Magazine to talk about the destigmatisation and decriminalisation of cannabis.   With many other countries around the world legalising cannabis and seeing nothing but benefits to the economy, to crime rates, and to overall health, why is the UK lagging behind? What are politicians afraid of?   ◾ Tamara's Twitter: https://twitter.com/_tamaratomorrow  ◾ Green Queen Magazine: https://twitter.com/GreenQueenMag ◾ Jack's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackStreet01 ◾ Brett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/brett_lee712 ◾ DGN Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/DGNofficial_  ◾ DGN Insta: https://www.instagram.com/dgnofficial_ ◾ DGN Website: https://www.demographicauk.com/ Credit to our editor, Maria Ruxandra Ifrim - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-ruxandra-ifrim-295aa0175/ Demographicast #44 | The Demographicast is available on all popular podcast platforms! ◾ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/15di6exZjLJePtVsCiAL7A ◾ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-demographicast/id1489358649 ◾ Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zb3VuZGNsb3VkLmNvbS91c2Vycy9zb3VuZGNsb3VkOnVzZXJzOjczNzg0NzM2MS9zb3VuZHMucnNz?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj8oM7ys9DwAhWQw4UKHWxeAnMQ9sEGegQIARAC  ◾ Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-demographicast ◾ Anchor: https://anchor.fm/thedemographicanetwork  ◾ Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/9196tsnh

    Another A-Levels Fiasco? w/ Sophie Corcoran

    Should we be expecting another A-levels fiasco this year? We spoke to Sophie Corcoran this week, a sixth form student who thinks the Government is making another mistake with regards to GCSE and A-Levels results.   After last year's algorithm failed to give accurate results to students after exams were cancelled, this year teachers have been given the responsibility of grading their students based on mock exams and previous performance. Question is will it work or has Gavin Williamson failed again?   ◾ Sophie's Twitter: https://twitter.com/sophielouisecc ◾ Jack's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackStreet01  ◾ Brett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/brett_lee712   ◾ DGN Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/DGNofficial_  ◾ DGN Insta: https://www.instagram.com/dgnofficial_  ◾ DGN Website: https://www.demographicauk.com/   Credit to our editor, Kiana Dhanjal - https://www.instagram.com/kiana.productions   Demographicast #43 | The Demographicast is available on all popular podcast platforms!   ◾ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/15di6exZjLJePtVsCiAL7A  ◾ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-demographicast/id1489358649  ◾ Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zb3VuZGNsb3VkLmNvbS91c2Vycy9zb3VuZGNsb3VkOnVzZXJzOjczNzg0NzM2MS9zb3VuZHMucnNz?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj8oM7ys9DwAhWQw4UKHWxeAnMQ9sEGegQIARAC  ◾ Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-demographicast  ◾ Anchor: https://anchor.fm/thedemographicanetwork  ◾ Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/9196tsnh
