The NS Podcast #171: Affection, factions and fandom

The New Statesman podcast.

By New Statesman

Anoosh once again joins to co-host this week’s podcast. Shadow cabinet elections and Brexit strategy are both up for debate as Parliament returns from recess. George Eaton discusses the latest thinking on grammar schools. And culture writer Anna Leszkiewicz explores the language of political fandom. You also ask us: Will the boundary changes help Corbyn?

(Stephen Bush, Anoosh Chakelian, George Eaton, Anna Leszkiewicz)
