Description

Keir Starmer won the Labour leadership contest with promises of party unity, a "broad church", and the right of Labour members to select their own candidates. All of these commitments have gone up in smoke - and Starmer's leadership has waged a remorseless war against the left.We speak to former Channel 4 News journalist Michael Crick - who has been following Labour's selections closer than any other journalist - about the shocking revelations he has uncovered; and former Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, who has written to Starmer about the internal stitch-ups.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
