151 – Michael Walker

Michael Walker is the host of TyskySour on Novara Media, an independent media organisation dedicated to covering British politics from the Left.

After a big fat crazy week in British politics – Boris Johnson proroguing parliament, MPs defecting to other parties all over the place, general elections being proposed and voted down – Michael joined me in my London flat’s kitchen to chat about what this moment means. He explains why he moved away from anarchism and why he now identifies as a “class war social democrat”, how the Brexit and the Corbyn moments have affected each other and how he thinks Labour can win the next general election (if it’s actually called this year). We also cover the Podemos example, the anti-Semitism row that Labour has faced and the challenges a Corbyn government might face from those within its own ranks.
