Labour MP Josh Simons joins The Peter McCormack Show for a frank discussion on Britain's broken system and his mission to fix it from within. As founder of the Labour Growth Group, Simons challenges his own party’s orthodoxy on tax and the “win-win” rhetoric of the political establishment.

He lays out a vision to put working-class people back at the heart of politics , rebuild our broken institutions , and radically rethink education for the age of AI. This is a blueprint for a different kind of Labour party and a look at how a new generation of politician is tackling the UK's decline.
