Labour's Rural Problem
Manage episode 286581654 series 2782873
This week we are joined by Maria Eagle MP, Sally Gimson and George Richmond to discuss the problems facing Labour within rural communities and what must be done to address this to connect with voters in these areas. Our speakers detail the extent of the situation Labour finds itself in today and propose innovative policy ideas around the issues of access, diversity and sustainability, as well as public transport, local Labour party engagement and the importance of building a narrative to challenge the Tories.
