ATR - The government's Budget spin and PBP's ecosocialist alternative w/ Des Hennelly
This week, Cian chats to Des Hennelly to review Budget 2022, digging beneath the government's spin in areas including contraception, inflation, ICU/hospital beds, housing and public transport to uncover how its responses to these issues remains utterly inadequate. Cian and Des also discuss the ecosocialist proposals put forward by People Before Profit in its alternative budget, outlining what needs to be done to tackle these crises.
