14 - Government Blunders and Cracked Conspiracies w/ Saoirse McHugh

This week the panel is joined by Saoirse McHugh to talk about her difficult decision to leave the Green Party, the eco-austerity plans of the government, and the challenges we face in building a strong eco-socialist alternative. We also chat about the dangerous growth of the far-right, and Dave talks about some of their weird and wacky QAnon conspiracies,
