On this episode of Going Underground we speak to ex-Mayor of London Ken Livingstone about the newly formed Independent Group, their electoral chances and his opinion on the ex-Labour MPs who left to join the Independent Group. Next, Lembit Opik joins us for Broken News, discussing the rising tensions between India and Pakistan after India launched airstrikes against an alleged JeM training camp in Pakistani territory, alleged looting by American troops at the site of a British massacre in Afghanistan, Richard Branson’s concert supporting US efforts to get US humanitarian aid into Venezuela, and Southern Rail workers pouring dirty water on a homeless man. Finally we speak to Sam Friedman, the co-author of ‘The Class Ceiling: Why it Pays to be Privileged’ on how certain sectors of the UK economy are closed off to non-elites and those who do not uphold elite interests.
