Pod Save an Island of Strangers

Coco’s back! She’s both sleep and politics deprived, but Nish is ready to fill her in. The government's shake-up of legal migration laws landed this week - but the news has been dominated by one question. Is Keir Starmer Enoch Powell incarnate? His speech warned that we ‘risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks together’ - a careless comment or a reaction to Reform gains? Nish and Coco dissect and take a deep dive into the government’s plans with Minnie Rahman, CEO of migrants' rights charity Praxis.  Next up, the Government are jumping for joy about the US-UK trade deal, but Nish struggles to find anything to say… is this just a downgrade portrayed as an upgrade?  The race for the next leader of the Greens is on, and will Youngblud make a foray into politics? Nish and Coco discuss how to capture the youth vote. And grassroots football teams are fighting back against the FA’s ban on trans women playing football.  CHECK OUT THIS DEAL FROM OUR SPONSOR  Shopify: https://www.shopify.co.uk/podsavetheuk  Useful Links:  To find out more about how people will be impacted check out Praxis' socials and ⁠sign up to their emails⁠ for campaign actions.’ https://everpress.com/gdfc-let-the-dolls-play https://www.hackneyempire.co.uk/events/nish-kumar-nish-dont-kill-my-vibe Guest:  Minnie Rahman, CEO of Praxis  Audio Credits:  BBC Parliament TV Kemi badenoch / X Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.
