Ep 183 with Rachel Millward Pt 1: Labour Came FOURTH!
About this episode
Mark Steel discusses the aftermath of local elections with Green Party deputy leader Rachel Millward, exploring the shifting political landscape in Britain.
The morning after the local elections, Mark is joined by Green Party deputy leader Rachel Millward to ask the only question anyone in British politics can answer right now: what the f**k is going on? As Labour and the Conservatives collapse into third and fourth place, Rachel explains why the Greens believe they’re becoming the real opposition — and why the political establishment seems terrified of it. From housing developers and billionaire wealth to Reform, immigration, rent controls and whether Keir Starmer has completely lost the plot, this is a conversation about a country that feels like it’s breaking apart in real time.
