Hello and welcome to A World Toen, a podcast from Tribune magazine.

I'm Grace Blakely bringing you your weekly dose of socialist news theory and action from around the world.

This week I'm joined by Owen Hathley, Tribune's culture editor and author of many books, including his most recent,

Red Metropolis, Socialism and the Government of London.

Today he joins me to talk about municipal socialism, regional and class and equality in the UK,

and the future of the Labour Party under Kirstarma.

As always, a shout out to our amazing patrons. We've now reached the crucial

threshold of 1000 pounds in subscriptions per month which means we're able to pay

the salary of our producers. But if we want to expand even further, we're going to need more help.

If you've been considering becoming a patron for a while, but haven't gotten around to it, please consider doing so now.

Just hit pause and head over to patreon.com slash a World to Win pod.

If you become a patron, you'll get access to exclusive content,

including the full hour-long episode this week,

and full-length interviews with figures like

Naomi Klein and Dr Cornell West, as well as a chance to

influence the future direction of the show.

If you want to support the show in another way, please do give us a rating on iTunes and share

your favorite episodes on social media tagging

at a world to win pod on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

A big thank you to the Lippman-Miloban Trust for awarding us the grant

funding we've needed to bring you these episodes.
