About this listen

Broadcaster, political and financial analyst, Albie Amankona, is our latest guest on the verandah.


Albie co-founded Conservatives Against Racism in response to the murder of George Floyd and talks about the need for a merit-based system in both politics and the arts. He talks about his ambitions to become an MP one day and his admiration for those who do the role with real conviction on both the left and right.


We hear about how he feels the influence of his mother (Pam Wrigley, who we heard in the previous episode) and their strong support network helped shape his life. And how attending church for the first time since childhood helps him feel grounded and hopeful.
