General Election NOW!

from The Owen Jones Podcast

As Liz Truss is forced out of office, Britain will have its third prime minister this year. Whether it's Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt or indeed Boris Johnson - who is plotting a return - this farce leaves Britain in an economic and soil death spiral. Only a general election gives this country hope of being prised away from the grip of these lunatics - but will the Tories ever allow an election which could wipe them out? And how much is the Tory crisis about something far more profound - a broken economic model that itself has to go?We're joined by the brilliant economist Faiza Shaheen.Please subscribe - and help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
