Summary

And so it begins. The second age of Trump is upon us. Are we all braced? All eyes are on what executive orders he will enact in his first week. So, how do we handle Trump’s politics of chaos? Or will we simply have to grin and bear it? Plus, Labour promised “a new deal for working people” before winning the election. Has it kept its promise with the new employment rights bill? General Secretary of the TUC Paul Nowak joins the podcast to get into it all. And, in a special extra, Judge Dredd does Defund The Police? Andrew talks to one of the authors. • Pre-order Judge Dredd: A Better World here. • We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison with Jonn Elledge, and Zoë Grünewald.
