Let's Get PolitiCOOL: Andrew Falloon, Se...

SHIT YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT
About this episode
Welcome to another episode of "Let's get politiCOOL" where, when we see fit, we breakdown wtf is going on, politically.
Today we tackle the Andrew Falloon and Iain Lees-Galloway saga's before deep-diving into the culture of politics these days, how it enables the abuse of power, the prevalence of sexual misconduct, and how mental health is being used as a political tool.
It's a big one, so buckle up.
This episode of The Shit Show was brought to you by Lucy Blakiston and Ruby Edwards.
