About this episode

Gerry Adams discusses the future of Andy Burnham's government, the rise of the far-right, and the potential breakup of the UK.

Gerry Adams is one of the most significant political figures on these islands of the last fifty years, and he has taken time out of his busy schedule to speak to PoliticsJOE. In a conversation just days before the coronation of Andy Burnham and days after the burning of nationalist effigies on bonfires across his hometown, Adams speaks to us about the necessary next steps for Burnham's government, how to quell the rise of the far-right, and how to prepare for the end of the union with Britain.
