Can we be optimistic about our new Labour government?

This week, we report on Mustafa’s star-studded Gaza and Sudan fundraiser concert in London as well as Jeremy O’Harris’ Slave Play, which is currently causing a stir over here following condemnation from the UK’s ex-prime minister, Rishi Sunak. Speaking of which, we’re less than a week into having a new prime minister and there’s already loads to discuss – from Labour’s green policies, to their plans to protect worker’s rights. Can we be cautiously optimistic? We also assess the surprise victory of a leftwing alliance in the French election, and the unsettling popularity of Reform UK among Gen Z.
