大象传媒

Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode the utterly baffling world of political language.

Farage says everybody is miserable, Trump says everything is a 'disaster', and Liz Truss chimed in saying Britain is a 'failed state', so Helen and Armando are trying to find out why those who claim to be patriots are keen to talk the country down. And why Starmer and Reeves' downbeat language has had real-life consequences.

Listen to Strong Message Here every Thursday at 9.45am on Radio 4 and then head straight to 大象传媒 Sounds for an extended episode.
