Red Meat, Blue Murder – Start Your Week with Alex Andreou

So much for Veganuary. It’s Red Meat Week, apparently, as the Government throws the BBC, migrants and their own staff under a hard right bus in order to save Boris Johnson’s flea-bitten skin. Can you pull a workable plan to slash the BBC’s funding out of Nadine Dorries’ ear and expect it to work? Will Red Wall and Blue Shires alike see through Johnson’s desperate pandering? Alex Andreou sets up the week ahead.  “Once the Emperor is naked, it’s very hard to clothe him again.” “The Conservative Party has already decided that Johnson can't go to the next elections. The only debates are who replaces him, and when?”  “I’ve never seen legislation give such a wide remit to the police. It effectively gives them carte blanche to break up any protest, of any size, anywhere.” “If we have a system that puts our politicians up for sale, then we can’t get picky about who buys influence.” Presented by Andrew Harrison.
