POPULARITY
The British media that stuck with Boris Johnson through borderline genocide has drawn the line at lockdown cheese and wine, and with the shell of a Labour Party pulling ahead without a single policy, a change of Prime Minister doesn't look far away. Marcus Barnett joins us to discuss his potential successors, all extremely right wing, but one uniquely odd in Liz Truss. We reflect on the past two years of weird pandemic politics, cover-ups and obvious corruption in an increasingly failed state, and wonder how change still seems so far away now everything is broken. /// SHOW NOTES /// /// CREDITS /// Hosts: Aarjan /// Ruairi Guest: Marcus Barnett Production: Connor Music: Cardio /// Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime
