The Politics of Trick-or-Treat (Halloween Special)
Top political comedian Matt Forde is joined by Isabel Hardman, Jess Phillips and Daliso Chaponda for a Halloween special - threats, ultimatums and the art of political menace.
Give us what we want, or else! It鈥檚 how small children approach Halloween, and increasingly how everyone else approaches politics - with menace, ultimatums and threats.
Comedian Matt Forde convenes a special Halloween Focus Group in front of a live theatre audience and asks if politics is now just one long game of Trick-or-Treat.
Joining him to make idle threats and scare the locals are The Spectator鈥檚 Isabel Hardman, Malawian-born stand-up Daliso Chaponda and MP Jess Phillips. Together they work out who鈥檚 knocking, what they鈥檙e after, and whether it鈥檚 ever wise to hide behind the sofa and pretend you鈥檙e not in.
