Episode description
This conversation is with Jamie McGuire, a councillor for Renfrew North and Braehead, who made headlines recently after leaving the Labour Party and joining Reform UK—becoming the first Labour councillor in Scotland to do so. At just 24, Jamie’s political journey has already seen him involved with Labour, and now Reform—two parties that many would see as ideologically incompatible.
I've taken the time to sit down and understand why, and scrutinise some of the main talking points, centred around Reform's ideology.
Tune in and decide for yourself.
