TBC Presents : Mike Reads Wkipedia

Britain is in the middle of a General Election, one that promises big change after a long period of austerity, war and privation the nation is ready for a change. It's June 2024 but Mike takes a look back at the Labour Manifesto from 1945 - the election that created the NHS, Free Secondary Education, Nationalised transport, power and industry, the Welfare State and the United Nations. It's not quite a Wikipedia page this episode, it's the original document and it's contents resonate today as much as they did back then.
