Sunak calls the election and where now for the UK left w/ James Schneider

James Schneider joins the show to discuss Rishi Sunak's
announcement that the UK general election will take place on July
4th, and to talk about his book 'Our Bloc: How We Win' in
which James argues for a left bloc - a federated alliance of
socialist forces comprising social movements, unions, and the
residual left in parliament. In the interview we discussed what
such a left bloc could look like and how it might knit together
forces with varying political commitments and traditions. We also
talked about the unprecedented vacuity of Keir Starmer's political
project, and James also gave his thoughts on the domestic
significance of the Gaza protest movement.
