The Gig Economy

Changing Politics

Ever feel like politics could be different? Join comedian Gráinne Maguire and journalist Marie Le Conte as they work out how we can all get more involved. This isn't just a podcast, it's Changing Politics.

This week, Marie and Gráinne look at the gig economy, and how not deleting taxi-ride apps can benefit precarious workers. They speak to James Farrer and Yaseen Aslam, who are taking Uber to court to win rights for cab drivers.

They also look at Hero Rebel of the Resistance, Jo Johnson, who bravely resigned from the Cabinet (apparently he was OK with all that cutting benefits stuff, but Brexit has been the final straw); the ongoing disaster that is Universal Credit - who knew that something invented by Iain Duncan Smith and overseen by Esther McVey could go wrong?; and the Taxpayer's Alliance, which it turns out aren't actually an alliance for us taxpayers, but a bunch of lobbyists.
