Reasons to be Cheerful with Ed Miliband & Geoff Lloyd
News:Politics
Hello! When you’re in the business of optimism, it can be difficult to draw much hope from the mess that Britain is in. Making a change can feel overwhelming and getting involved unappealing. This week, former Labour strategist and now podcaster Alastair Campbell joins Ed and Geoff to talk about his new book about why UK politics has gone so wrong, and why you can - and should - help to fix it.
Plus: Geoff’s turned 50 and took a podcast mini-break. So what's he been up to?
