About this Episode
The Left has a new bouncing baby party!
Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell talk through the week's political stories, with a focus on Your Party - no, not your party; Your Party - the trade deal between the UK and India, and the success story of Baltimore, pointing the opposite way of populism on how to reduce crime.

“If we did an episode about every rich old fart that goes to Scotland to golf, it would be a daily podcast. Although, to be honest, we would probably have richer sponsors."
“I think we should be happy to see a serious addition to the political landscape. I think we should be happy that somebody like Corbyn's involved… His base was full of energy and he was getting cut-through. In short. More options are good and a democracy, aren't they?”
“Democracy is democracy, and plurality is plurality. We have to live our values. You can’t treat voters as if they belong to you. You can’t get stroppy when someone else decides to set up a party. You can fight them, politically, ideologically, contest those votes ten times harder. But you don’t own them.”
