What Democrats can learn from Labour in the UK (with Stewart Wood) Plus: Are we all socialists now?

Published 1 month ago
Description

 Today on Nobody Knows Anything, Rob and Jesse break down a wild night in the midterms as a socialist surge sweeps through New York — Zohran Mamdani plays kingmaker, several establishment incumbents go down, and the guys ask whether the "Democratic Tea Party" has officially arrived. They dig into Mamdani's riskiest bet of all, the brutal turn the Gaza debate has taken inside the primaries, and what an emboldened DSA means for a Big Tent party heading into 2028. From there it's on to the great AI super PAC flop, where Leading the Future torched millions only to push the winning candidate further against them — proof you can spend $30 million, get your guy elected, and still somehow lose. A round of Winner or Loser sorts out where AOC, Hakeem Jeffries, and Mamdani actually landed, before Jesse speedruns the downballot races you may have missed and the guys debate whether Democrats should be hugging Joe Biden or running for the hills. Then it's fully international: Labour peer Lord Stewart Wood — former adviser to Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband, and proud Liverpool man — joins from across the pond to explain how Keir Starmer went from a historic landslide to the exit, why Reform and the Greens are eating the middle, and the parallels Americans should be watching closely. Plus the World Cup on home soil, England's familiar heartbreak, and the legend of Ed Miliband's bacon sandwich.
