The Politics Verb - Experiments in Living
Ian McMillan's guests are Ed Miliband, Jackie Weaver, Emilie Robson and Kate Fox.
Ian McMillan is joined by the Labour Party politician Ed Miliband, by ambassador for 鈥楥ompassion in Politics鈥� Jackie Weaver ( Jackie recently shot to fame after a parish council meeting went viral), by writer Emilie Robson with a 'Verb Drama' featuring an existentialist cat, and by our regular guest, stand-up poet Kate Fox.
How do they think the language of politics could change to become more compassionate? And what about their perception of the word 鈥榓uthority鈥�? Can writers help us see it differently? And why did the young Ed Miliband love the 1980s US soap opera Dallas so much - which was all about the power and authority exerted by Stetson-wearing characters like JR Ewing?
