Oh God, What Now? 114: DEMOTING THE VOTE with special guest, Labour MP ALEX SOBEL
How did a sweeping local elections vote for Remain parties become an instruction to “just get Brexit done”? What do those results mean for the EU Elections later this month? What will it take to stop the momentum of the Brexit Party? And what will happen if we don’t?
ALEX SOBEL, the pro-People’s Vote Labour MP for Leeds North West, joins us to unpick the spin around a vote that saw both Labour and the Tories receive a bloody nose – and then try to explain it away. He gives us an idea of what Labour’s “all things to everyone” position looks like from the inside, spells out the red lines for Labour’s growing Confirmation Vote movement… and tells what Britain needs to do about the catastrophic issues we’re neglecting because of the endless, endless Brexit War.
