Make the Left Great Again? This week we're giving you part 1 of our chat with Peter Frase, a writer and lapsed academic who is on the editorial board of Jacobin. We spoke to Peter about the resurgence of leftist thought in popular culture - particularly with young people - and all that goes into building a popular socialist magazine in the post financial crisis world we live in. You can check out Peter Frase on his website (http://www.peterfrase.com/) or on Twitter (https://twitter.com/pefrase). Read one of his latest articles for Jacobin, discussing what it means to be on The Left in the 21st century (https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/07/socialism-liberalism-left-frase). Next week, we will run part 2 which talks about his speculative book on four different pathways for a post-capitalist future. Check out his book here (https://www.versobooks.com/books/1847-four-futures). We hit Priti Patel, James Dyson and the hilarious news that tax havens are, in fact, good things. To no one's great surprise, leading Brexiteer Daniel Hannan wrote a cloying article in defence of tax havens... the kind of ideology we're handing our country to (https://tinyurl.com/ybcfyu2x). But perhaps worst of all was The Spectator claiming 'we should thank tax havens' (https://tinyurl.com/y7khgwbw) PLUS, Warren geeks out about GP at Hand, a new app launched by the Department of Health. You can read about that here (https://tinyurl.com/ybgkbsf2) and take a look at it's website (https://www.gpathand.nhs.uk/). ___ You know the drill: Follow us on FB – www.facebook.com/connectedanddisaffected/ Follow us on Twitter – twitter.com/CandDPodcast Leave us a review on ITunes – itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/connected-disaffected/
