The Momentum Activist

BBC Radio 4 - The Pursuit of Power, The Momentum Activist

Bronwen Maddox meets Barbara Ntumy, a political activist with pressure group Momentum.

Bronwen Maddox, director of the Institute of Government, meets Barbara Ntumy, a political activist with pressure group Momentum.

Bronwen Maddox meets Barbara Ntumy, political activist with Momentum. Barbara came to this country a decade ago from Ghana, and first found her voice marching against the English Defence League in Sheffield. In a wide ranging interview Barbara explains why she feels the need to stand up, and what her activism can achieve. 
"Where she was less convincing," says presenter Bronwen Maddox, "was on the relationship between Momentum and those elected MPs who don't agree with her views, some of whom say they find Momentum threatening and undemocratic."

The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.

What is power, and how does it work? Bronwen Maddox talks to five people to find out.
