Episode Nine - The Ruth Anderson One

In this episode, Leo sits down with Ruth Anderson, former Labour MP and current life peer in the House of Lords. Ruth reflects on her time representing Stoke-on-Trent and why Labour lost its 'Red Wall' in 2019. We discuss Britain's cultural divides and I ask whether there is a way back for the party in towns like Stoke.

In the later part of the episode, Ruth opens up about the antisemitism she experienced in the Labour Party. She reveals how an abject failure of leadership in the party, led to a damning investigation by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission.
