In this special episode of The Breakdown, Zayn sits down with recently elected Conservative councillor for Moor Park & Eastbury, Abbas Merali.

As a member of our community elected as a councillor in May, we discussed what his first few weeks in the role have been like, as well as his political and community background. We discussed the structure of local councils, and what the roles of councillors are, as well as the importance of the youth getting involved in politics. 

The second half of the podcast covers issues and concerns raised by community members, including the Islamophobia in the Conservative Party, PartyGate, the cost of living crisis, and more. Tune in for an insight into being elected in the political world as a community member at Stanmore!
