Waiting For The Apocalypse: tariffs, food security and the right to protest
Manage episode 474892684 series 3468936
Warning: this episode contains descriptions of sexually explicit and sexist song lyrics.
While we wait to see if Trump’s tariff juggernaut is going to squash our fragile economy, Nish and Coco count the cost of the “bill-mageddon” we already face. It’s a perfect storm of steep rises in household bills and a bonkers global trade war.
While we’re staring economic apocalypse in the face, we seem to be losing our rights to protest. If the Quakers get raided, who’s safe from heavy handed policing and draconian laws?
And have you prepared yourself for food shortages? Your stash of beans might not cut it. Professor Tim Lang - author of a major report on food security- has a plan we all need to hear.
On the bright side, 2025 is the year the Labour Party has decided to embrace social media and podcasts. What can possibly go wrong?
