Join Grace Blakeley and Sam Fowles—the socialist firebrand and the barrister who stood up to the Prime Minister—as they peel back the layers of deception. Together, they illuminate the path toward safeguarding our democratic ideals.

Everything you’ve been told about economics is a lie. And it’s affecting our democracy. Join Grace Blakeley, “the web’s most popular socialist firebrand” and Sam Fowles, “the barrister who beat the prime minister in court” as they discuss the lies that underpin our economy and democracy and how we can save it.

Sam Fowles and Grace Blakeley’s exploration of democracy’s fragility reminds us that our civic responsibilities extend beyond the ballot box.

Suitable for: 12 years and up
