This week, we are joined by economist, political scientist, and academic, Dr. Jeevun Sandher, whose work and research focus on the causes and consequences of poverty and inequality in the UK.
In this episode, we spoke to Jeevun about his research and asked him to set out his priorities for how to tackle this country's growing inequality. We also discussed the fallout from the mini-budget and the damage it continues to inflict on the country. On a more hopeful note, and in light of Labour's record-breaking leads in opinion polls, we reflected on The Labour Party's economic vision and some of the big announcements from conference.

Last month's local elections left much to be desired for many Labour Party members, particularly those in the West Midlands. From many Labour Councillors across the region losing their seats to Liam Byrne's unfortunate loss in the Mayoral race - it's hard to imagine much to feel hopeful about. However, over in Earlsdon, a leafy ward in the suburbs of Coventry, Anthony Tucker gained a council seat from the Conservatives to complete a set of three Labour councillors for the ward; an historic first for Earlsdon!
In this episode, Nathan and Marie from the West Midlands Young Fabians chat with Cllr Anthony Tucker to find out about Earlsdon, what went right in his campaign and what we can learn from it, the importance of young people standing as councillors and much more.

In the latest installment of our series focusing on winning back heartlands within the West Midlands, we travel (virtually) up to Stoke-on-Trent to speak with Gareth Snell, the former Labour MP for the constituency from 2017-2019!
Gareth tells us his favourite things about Stoke; from the city's historic pottery industry to their famous oatcakes, giving a real insight into the area and the issues that are key to the constituents which Gareth once represented. We asked Gareth for his thoughts on why Stoke-on-Trent Central turned blue in 2019 as well as his ideas on how to reconnect with and win back voters in The Potteries.

With the Scottish Parliament elections fast approaching, we are joined by Albie, Cecily, and John from the Young Scottish Fabians to discuss all things Scottish Labour and what their path to success will look like in Scotland's everchanging political landscape.
We talked about new leader Anas Sarwar's first few weeks in charge of Scottish Labour, the challenges he faces leading up to the election on May 6th, what their communications and campaign strategy has been like so far and what more they could do, as well as Labour's idea for a 'National Recovery Plan'.
Of course, we couldn't avoid the recent political theatrics within Scottish politics, discussing the Holyrood Inquiry, the emergence of Alex Salmond's Alba Party, the ebb and flow of Independence polling and what this all means for Labour, The Union, and Scotland itself.

Emily and Amy spoke with Marie about the different ways in which our patriarchal society is failing women and girls, discussing issues such as public sexual harassment, revenge porn, objectification of women and girls, lack of provision for domestic abuse survivors and male control over female sexuality.
