You're not going to hear anyone else talk about politics like this.

Suzanne is an original thinker. From bunking off school and doing acid while selling Marxism Today to ending up writing for The Telegraph. Her route through her career and life is completely unorthodox.

She has a truly adventurous take on life and that informs her unique political analysis.

This is a one-of-a-kind episode.

Let's go back in time five years and see what, if anything, has really changed...

In 2021 Andy was Mayor of Manchester but was clearly developing his thinking on where power in the UK lies.

This is a great mix of thoughtful political analysis and riveting behind-the-scenes detail as Andy tells the incredible inside story behind his showdowns with the UK and Scottish governments. He also tells the heartbreaking story of the Hlllsborough families' long campaign for justice and his role in changing the Labour government's position, including the moment he stands in front of a packed Anfield at the memorial service.
