Michael Roberts on The Lembit Öpik Show - 20 April 2024

GUEST OVERVIEW: Michael Roberts, a self-identified leftist, boasts a background in politics and academia, with degrees from the University of York and UCL. Despite health setbacks, he's delved into government Project and Programme Management, even working at the UK Mission to the UN. A devoted West Ham fan and songwriter, he relocated to March, Cambridgeshire, to be closer to family. Disillusioned by mainstream party politics' handling of Brexit and social issues, he's thrown his hat in the ring for the Social Democratic Party (SDP), advocating for a social democratic agenda. As Spokesman for North East Cambridgeshire, he's keen on addressing local concerns like housing shortages, high energy costs, transportation expenses, and immigration, supporting the nationalization of key sectors like energy and transport. He emphasizes the importance of regulated immigration to prioritize retraining local workers and opposes radical gender ideology and identity politics.
