As the situation in Greece becomes more serious by the day, is a default or Grexit on the horizon? In this week’s View from 22 podcast, Channel 4’s Paul Mason discusses this week’s Spectator leading article with Ambrose Evans-Prichard from the Daily Telegraph. Which side is being more unreasonable in this stand off, the European Central Bank or Syriza? Is anything drastic likely to happen over the next few weeks? Are the Greek people feeling resentful towards to the rest of the EU? And what effect is the crisis having on the whole European project?
The Spectator’s James Forsyth and Stephen Bush from the New Statesman also discuss the ongoing contests for Labour leader and deputy leader. Given that he remains the favourite to win, what does Andy Burnham need to do over the next 12 weeks? What does Liz Kendall have to achieve if she is to have any hope of beating Yvette Cooper to become Burnham’s main rival? Will Cooper manage to persuade Kendall’s supporters to back her instead? And why is there such a concerted effort to stop Tom Watson’s becoming Labour deputy leader?
