<div> <p>This week Nish and Coco are joined by friend of the pod, Ash Sarkar from Novara Media to talk about political scandal, trust and compromise. Ash’s book, Minority Rule, has a new afterword which talks about two progressive movements which have tried to build different kinds of relationships with voters. Is that the way forward - or are we stuck in an endless cycle of broken promises from our leaders? </p><p>One of those leaders - Keir Starmer - seems to be lurching from crisis to nightmare, so can he rise above the latest headlines about Peter Mandelson’s arrest and the Labour Together scandal?</p><p>Plus Reform’s new immigration policies, the new proposals to change the SEND system - and some good news about two protest groups.</p><p><strong>CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS </strong></p><p>BABBEL: <a href="https://www.babbel.com/PSUK">https://www.babbel.com/PSUK</a></p><p>WISE: <a href="https://www.wise.com/">https://www.wise.com</a></p><p>SURFSHARK: <a href="https://www.surfshark.com/podsave">https://www.surfshark.com/podsave</a>  CODE: PODSAVE<br>  </p><p><strong>GUESTS </strong></p><p>Ash Sarkar, Contributing Editor at Novara Media and author of Minority Rule: Adventures in the Culture War - out now in paperback.</p><p><strong>USEFUL LINKS</strong></p><p>Jumaane Williams’ thoughtful response following the outcry about the handling of a racial slur at the Baftas.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgaqKIxS4Hs&amp;t=1s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgaqKIxS4Hs&amp;t=1s</a></p><p><strong>CREDITS</strong></p><p><em>Daily Express - YouTube</em><br><em>Nigel Farage - YouTube</em><br><em>@</em><a href="http://sendra.uk"><em><a href="http://sendra.uk">sendra.uk</a></em></a><em> - Instagram</em><br><em>Nida Jafri</em></p><p>Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.<br>Get in touch - contact us via email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><br>Like and follow us on Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUK">https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUK</a><br>Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/podsavetheuk">https://instagram.com/podsavetheuk</a><br>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheuk">https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheuk</a><br>BlueSky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/podsavetheuk.crooked.com">https://bsky.app/profile/podsavetheuk.crooked.com</a><br>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/podsavetheuk">https://facebook.com/podsavetheuk<br></a>X: <a href="https://twitter.com/podsavetheuk">https://x.com/podsavetheuk</a></p></div>
