It's Bloody Complicated - A Compass Podcast

In what would normally be a front-page news story, on April 4 the Labour Party finally elected a new leader after a protracted campaign. A campaign that started in a bygone age when our biggest crises centred on Brexit and a historic election loss.  This week, our feature guest is Jon Cruddas, Labour MP for Dagenham and Rainham. Jon joins us to explore what the new leadership of the Labour party will mean for progressive politics in the UK and progressive responses to the fallout of the corona pandemic."It's Bloody Complicated" is recorded every Tuesday at 6pm GMT.

In our first all-members call of 2020, Clive Lewis (Labour MP for Norwich South) shared his ideas on how Labour can map out a new plan for the future.Clive’s manifesto for the Labour Party created waves when he launched it and it is packed full of Compass ideas. During the call, Clive will share his analysis on how Labour can chart a road back to power not only for the party, but for the whole progressive movement.“I’m fed up with the top-down style of politics, where real debate and discussion in our party is stifled because of sectarianism and tribalism. We can’t grow as a party, if we’re afraid of having difficult discussions.” (Clive Lewis, 2020)You can read Clive’s leadership manifesto here: Transform to Win [Clive Lewis Manifesto 2019].Support the showEnjoyed the podcast and want to be a live audience member at our next episode?
