Description

Labour’s policies aren’t exciting or even that clear. But is boring what Britain needs right now? Or is it ultimately leading to a lack of confidence in Labour leadership. Plus, George Osborne's wedding was disrupted by Just Stop Oil, OR WAS IT? Either way, was the extensive coverage of the orange confetti attack proof the group is making an impact? And in the extra bit for subscribers, are Gen Z just slackers who don’t want to work hard? That’s Oh God, What Now? With Paper Cuts’ Miranda Sawyer.

“I am happy to put on the record that I am finding the Labour Party incredibly boring at the moment.” – Marie Le Conte.

Instead of "Yes We Can", it's "We'd love to, but..." - Matt Green.

“I don’t know what kind of poll lead they need to be braver.” – Dorian Lynskey.

“I genuinely think if Labour get in they will do things around, education, around social housing, that will make a difference…I BELIEVE” – Miranda Sawyer.

“This idea that there's no difference between non violent protest and an assassination attempt is so disingenuous.” – Matt Green.
