Is Labour Doomed? | Novara Debates w/ Ash Sarkar, Michael Walker & Aaron Bastani

Welcome to another special Navara Media live stream. Yesterday we discussed whether reform could become the largest party at the next general election and today we're discussing whether Labor are doomed. Um now that could be taken in a couple of ways I suppose. Firstly, are they set to lose the next general election in 2029?

And two, has politics in society changed so fundamentally that the Labour Party in its current form is just finished. um to discuss that question. I'm joined, you know who I'm joined by. I'm joined by Ashar and Aaron Bastani.

How are you both doing? I'm very well. Uh Aaron was coming out with some controversial opinions before we even went live. He said that if David Beckham wasn't so good-looking, he'd be more highly rated as a footballer.

So, in a way, he had pretty disadvantage rather than pretty privilege. If I understand you, that's correct. I think he deserved that Balandor in 1999. I think he deserved it.

We're talking about Labor. Whatever. I don't think pretty disprivilege exists. I don't think anyone can be too pretty.

You can't be too rich or too pretty. Well, I think actually, Michael, I think that one of the reasons why people don't appreciate your journalism to the extent that they they should is because you're so good-looking. But anyway, separate I sometimes I went through a phase where I was like, I just really want to look like a model, you know, sort of in terms of kind of googling work that could get done. didn't do any although I was I was because I was just thinking like if you look like a model your life is just different you know but not necessarily richer uh let's get on to our topic in a moment but first of all uh these streams we're doing them because we are in a fundamentally very significant political moment reform have become uh what looks like the most popular party in this country two-party politics could be over so it is a moment to get us all together and discuss big picture what's going on in the UK.

We're also at a moment as an organization where we're really really keen to increase our number of supporters. Um I say this all the time when I'm hosting Navara Live, I want my co-hosts in the same room ...
