Yes or No?
Armando Iannucci and Helen Lewis look at some of the biggest issues in politics today, and explore the language used by supporters and detractors. Is there still space for nuance?
Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode the utterly baffling world of political language.
This week, Helen and Armando take a step back and look at whether we're seeing the death of nuance in political debate. Is everything boiled down to 'yes or no' questions? What are the shibboleths of modern politics, and does the language you use, or decline to use, put you firmly on one side of a debate?
