3: How does class affect our politics?
Thursday, 5 October, 2017
With guests Owen Jones and Ellie Mae O'Hagan. On our journey so far, we've talked about why class is still relevant and what the class system looks like today. And we’ve talked about the impact class still has on life in Britain - how it still defines our life outcomes, with very few of us born to working class parents making it into the top professions. This week, we’re getting political.
