How will populism shape the next parliament w/ Jon Bloomfield | ep. 108

It's Bloody Complicated - A Compass Podcast

With Labour far ahead in the polls our attention turns to where the opposition from the Left will come from.

We need to look no further than Nigel Farage and Reform UK – who could use the parliamentary base of Clacton to enact a shift to national populism of the kind we are now seeing in Italy, France and Germany.

To discuss the very real threat of the Right we were joined on the podcast by one of the authors of a brand new publication The Little Black Book of the Populist Right: What it is, why it’s on the march and how to stop it

• Jon Bloomfield is a writer, environmental practitioner, and author of Our City: Migrants and the Making of Modern Birmingham. In the 1980s, Jon served on the editorial board of Marxism Today.
