Not the Andrew Marr Show
Labour Grassroots reports:
- Join us on Sunday morning for a discussion on what is happening with Keir Starmer, Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party. Plus a newspaper review, comedy and music.[4]
On 22 November 2020, Labour Grassroots posted on Facebook:
- ‘Not the Andrew Marr Show’ featured a discussion on Zoom about the suspension of Jeremy Corbyn, his subsequent reinstatement and the failure of Keir Starmer to return the Labour whip to him.
- We heard from Thelma Walker, who had resigned from the Labour Party. And from three Labour members who were supportive of Keir Starmer’s position.[5]
- Then Howard Beckett, an NEC representative for Unite, spoke. And, within minutes, people were asking for his speech to be put out on social media.[6]
Not Desert Island Discs with Jeremy Corbyn
On Sunday 15 November 2020 at 11:00am, Leader of the Labour Party Keir Starmer appeared on BBC Radio 4's "Desert Island Discs" programme with Lauren Laverne when he shared the eight tracks, book and luxury he would take if cast away to a desert island.[7]
Ten days later and hosted by Labour Grassroots, "Not Desert Island Discs with Jeremy Corbyn" is scheduled for Wednesday 25 November 2020 from 7:30pm to 8:30pm:
- Join Jeremy Corbyn on a virtual Zoom Desert Island as he shares eight pieces of music, a book and one luxury.
