15: Should the Greens Poach Labour’s Left MPs?

from Life of the Party

Shanice brings in this week’s news with a warning that the Green Party needs to tread cautiously as left-wing MPs consider jumping off the sinking Labour ship and defecting to the eco-populist insurgency. Whilst Joe and Shanice clash over the growing recourse to motion maximalism within the Green Party, as the former’s defence of socialist comms rubs up against the latter’s insistence on the primacy of political principle.ReadingMars Trilogy - Kim Stanley RobinsonAdults in the Room - Yanis VaroufakisScattered - Aamna MohdinVineland - Thomas Pynchland Become a supporter: lifeoftheparty.uk/supportCREDITSHosted by Shanice McBean, Jonas Marvin and Joe Todd.Edited by Marcus Berdaut⁠⁠⁠⁠.Design by Rachel Carr / rachelcarr.co.ukMusic by Benjamin Tissot / 9INTLNTLWTYTDKVNAfter Hours Music by Marcus P / MADSQ4HJPOYFTZ1TBecome a supporter: patreon.com/LifeofthePartyFollow us on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠This is an Ampersounds production.⁠ Hosted on Acast.
