General Election Special | ep. 107

On this special general Election issue of Its Bloody Complicated we are delighted to
be joined by Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty. 

We’ve admired Aditya’s writing and reporting for years and have been keen to get
him on. Aditya doesn’t just critique what’s wrong in terms of the economy, society
and politics – he actively goes out and finds places and examples where things are
being done better – finding places for hope. But it was his article last week on the
threat poised by Nigel Farage that accelerated our desire to hear from him – in it
Aditya graphically illustrated how Farage and Reform UK set the tone of debate, now
primarily on the issue of immigration, and then watch first the Tories then labour
following their direction. Farage may or may not win the seat of Clacton but he is
already winning the general election debate.
