Ep 53 - Tokenism, Sensationalism, and Identity Politics
On this week's TMV Podcast, Salim is joined by Ali Milani, the Labour Party's prospective candidate for Uxbridge and South Ruislip. Ali Milani is a 24 year-old councillor, Vice President of the National Union of Students and is looking to take on Boris Johnson at the next General Election. We discuss the media's fixation on Ali's identity (as a Muslim immigrant) as opposed to his political stances, and what his thoughts are being boiled down to this label.
