Who can lead the ‘people’s revolt’?
About this episode
The episode discusses the concept of leadership in the context of a 'people's revolt' against the status quo, questioning Nigel Farage's role in this movement.
All leaders and potential leaders agree the urgent need to move on from what Keir Starmer calls vaguely ‘the status quo’. Nigel Farage claims to lead ‘the people’s revolt’ against the status quo. But why should he have the monopoly in leading the people when he was a key figure in creating the current ‘status quo’?
