Special: How progressives blew it - and how they can fix it. With Peter Hyman
About this episode
In a wide-ranging and fascinating conversation, Peter Hyman - former senior advisor to both Tony Blair and Keir Starmer - discusses his recent New European cover story and the reaction to it. What are the seven deadly sins of progressive centrist politics and its adherents? How can we stem the rising tide of populist nationalism? And how is Keir Starmer’s government doing so far? Peter - who also set up the ground-breaking School 21 in Stratford, London - also discusses what’s wrong with our education system and why radical change is much needed if we are going to prepare our children for the challenges of life in the 21st Century. Enjoy!
