Everything about this interview is brilliant.
The interviewers do a great (and enjoyable!) job and @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social is going to be hugely impactful as part of the first ever group of elected Greens in the Senedd!

I think that Trump is making a massive own goal here by dragging up what he said or didn’t say on January 6th. There is so much available that’s not widely in the public consciousness.
