New Kids on the Block
Episode description
• We’re LIVE at the Old Market Theatre, Hove on Weds 9 Oct. Tickets here.
Over half of the MPs elected in July’s Labour landslide are new to the Commons. Jim Murphy led the Scottish Labour Party and in 1997 he was propelled into Parliament for the first time, after winning the Tory stronghold of Eastwood. He joins the panel to discuss his experiences and what his advice is for up-and-coming MPs. Plus, did anyone watch Elon Musk’s conversation with Donald Trump on X? It was wild, rambling, and full of misinformation. So, is social media doomed or can it be redeemed? And in the Extra Bit… why are Starmer’s critics so keen to label him a “dictator”?
