Passionate, direct, funny with occasional outbreaks of self-deprecation, it's the perfect way to start 2022. Alastair sets off at lightning pace,&nbsp;giving direct advice to Labour on how to campaign against the government. He shares his frustration with the recent BBC series about new Labour,&nbsp;reflects on his own changing sense of national identity and recalls a confrontation with a litter lout. He also answers the question: is he woke? There's so much in this episode that a blurb cannot do justice to.
