Manage episode 517845920 series 3386061
Overnight, progressives in New York witnessed a political earthquake. A resounding win on a high turnout for the city’s first Muslim mayor - a democratic socialist with robust ideas about capitalism. Was it his youth? His clear cut policies? Or was it his authenticity that energised the city’s voters? And are there lessons to be learned for how politics should be done here in 2025?
Health Minister, Wes Streeting, joins us to talk about personality in politics, and what Labour could learn from Mamdani's example.
