\"Persistent knobheadery\" is a term few people had heard of until Labour's welfare rebellion led to an embarrassing climbdown. Today's guest, Brian Leishman, was one of four MPs suspended for so-called \"persistent knobheadery\" over his role in fighting against his government's planned reforms.
Inspired into politics by Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party, Conor discusses the Chancellor's budget, the removal of the two-child benefit cap, how a wealth tax would work in reality and why he chose to challenge the government's attempts to reform the welfare system earlier this year.
