The free school meals fiasco sends the Conservative Party right back to its happy place: being mean to poor kids. Special guest JESS PHILLIPS, Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, joins us to discuss Labour’s future, Starmer’s report card so far, how Birmingham is leading the country, and Aston Villa beating Liverpool 7-2. And our panel reveal the political music that changed them.
- “When I first stood for election I didn’t expect hunger to be one of the most important parts of my job” – Jess Phillips
- “Behind the scenes, Tories are saying this is an absolute fiasco. ‘We’ve managed to turn the whole country against us.’” – Ayesha Hazarika
- “Because of COVID, I feel like I’m going cold turkey from the parts of being an MP that I love.” – Jess Phillips
- “I know Johnson wants us to lose weight, but targeting nine-year-olds is a bit harsh.” – Ayesha Hazarika
- “I cannot believe how little rebellion has gone on within the Conservatives” – Jess Phillips
- “People need to be reminded that Rishi Sunak isn’t spending his own money, he’s spending our money” – Jess Phillips
