Leftwing rabble rouser and co-founder of Bristol Transformed Isaac Kneebone-Hopkins

from Bristol Unpacked · host The Bristol Cable

Bristol has long had a reputation as a hotbed of leftie radicals. Most recently, the movement that was built and surged during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party. Isaac has been a prominent activist with socialist campaign Momentum and as a co-founder of Bristol Transformed, a festival of radical ideas that will return to Bristol on the weekend of 16th of June. But the scene has attracted fierce criticism from across the party and political spectrum, as out of touch and perhaps a touch sanctimonious, and blamed for Labour’s crushing defeat in 2019. With the left thoroughly on the backfoot, what now in Bristol and beyond?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
