Ice Strike Baby – Start Your Week with Alex Andreou

Rail, nursing and Border Force workers strike during sudden extreme cold weather, but their public support seems solid. Will the Government’s “Union Barons” attacks stick? Plus, James Cleverly ditches human rights priorities in a desperate search for any post-Brexit upside. Russia’s war in Ukraine enters its deep winter phase. And the last legislation to get squeezed through Parliament before Christmas. Alex Andreou takes Andrew Harrison through the week ahead.  “The Tories are fudging the economy because they know Labour will win the next election.” – Alex Andreou “Thank God It's too cold for drunken England fans to go out and smash up Delice de France.” – Andrew Harrison “There’s public support for rail strikes because Mick Lynch is a media superstar.” – Alex Andreou “Doing business with autocratic regimes is a high-risk activity.” – Alex Andreou Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.
