John McDonnell on Keir Starmer, Labour's lack of vision - and what now for the left.

The Owen Jones Podcast

After Labour narrowly held Batley & Spen in the recent by-election, former Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell talks to me about how the party is losing voters who stuck with it in 2019, let alone failing to win over new supporters; how Muslim Labour voters feel utterly betrayed and disillusioned; how the Tories have been allowed to get away with their catastrophic handling of COVID-19, and Labour aren't setting out a clear vision; whether the left is about to be crushed by the leadership, whether Peter Mandelson is running the party - and what next for the left.
