99. Time for a 'Progressive Alliance' against the Tories? - LIVE SHOW

Season 1, Ep. 99

After the Lib Dems smashed the Tories in Chesham and Amersham, the idea of a "progressive alliance" - of anti-Tory parties working together to get the government out - has revived. But are the Lib Dems "progressive" - and is this an idea emerging out of desperation because Labour is so weak?


I'm joined by Labour MSP Paul Sweeney - who is for - and Tribune's David Broder - who is against, plus, the mother of Osime Brown - a 22-year-old autistic man who won his case against deportation to Jamaica, a country he left as a small child - joins us to talk about their horrendous ordeal.
