1187: Capitalism and collapse  / Richard Hunsinger + Nathan Eisenberg

Jack and Geraint are joined by longtime friend of the show Matt Zarb-Cousin; former spokesman for Jeremy Corbyn - and, subsequently, one of the few reliably left-wing pundits to get a hearing in the media - current spokesman for the Clean Up Gambling campaign, aide to Rebecca Long-Bailey on her sadly unsuccessful leadership campaign, and, most importantly, repeat RP guest. In his first appearance since 2017, he talks us through his issues with the milquetoast strategy currently being pursued by Keir Starmer; one that he claims strongly resembles that of David Cameron. We look back on some of the successes and failures of Corbynism, and hopefully touch on a myriad other subjects that should *ahem* boil some centrist piss.
