13. Martin Rhodes MP - 'A welfare state is no bad thing'

Martin Rhodes is the Labour MP for Glasgow North.A vocal critic of the government's approach to welfare, Martin argues that the term "welfare state" is not the scary label that it is often portrayed as in the media. Speaking as oil prices rise and farmers warn of food shortages due to the Iran war, Martin expresses his relief that the UK resisted US encouragement to participate in offensive strikes against Tehran, although is muted when asked if the decision makes Sir Keir Starmer "look stronger".
