Love the show though. I'm just very sad about the state of the UK at the moment and genuinely don't see much hope :(

I learnt a lot from this episode, however I felt the (admittedly surface level) section on the end about the UK was a bit weak. The analysis of Starmer is spot on (no narrative, just wants to appease everyone), but I think this is just a reflection of the fact that the Labour party is trying to hold together two increasingly divergent groups: a historic older working class vote, who no longer define themselves by their labour, and a more global, university educated younger group (and there are many international parallels here). This is of course much more long thatcherism than long corbynism, but the real problem is that Labour at the moment is unable to plant its flag on one side or the other, in part due to its legacy, and I don't think Corbyn could have ever bridged the gap, although obviously he was hindered at about every turn. My personal view is that a new standard around which to gather progressive ideas is going to be needed, and it feels like the obvious idea is the Green movement (which is what makes the trend in Germany so interesting). I also feel that at a domestic level: when we equate big increases in public investment in (eg) education and healthcare, minimum wage introduction etc under New Labour to a decade of austerity under the Tories we just do the right's job for them. I want more radical change, but pretending that in the uk centre left = centre right or that new labour = clinton administration is lazy and just rewrites history in a way that benefits the conservatives. I know it's a cliche but the factionalism is incredibly frustrating when I'm sitting here experiencing the daily shitshow that is Boris Johnson's government. It is very definitely not the same, and I'm fed up of leftists unable to tell the difference between centrism and pragmatism.
