Description

Finally, the truth is coming out: Tory minister Nadhim Zahawi has admitted reaching a tax settlement with HM Revenue and Customs over a supposed 'error' worth million. Even more remarkably, he negotiated the settlement when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer. What on earth is going on, what's the truth - and what does it tell us about our broken tax system? Tax expert Richard Murphy joins us to explain all.As the anti-trans moral panic escalates with the showdown over Scotland's reform of the gender recognition process, we're joined by trans writer, vlogger and activist extraordinaire Katy Montgomerie.Plus: with horrific news that dozens of child asylum seekers have been abducted by gangs, we talk to anti-trafficking social worker Lauren Starkey.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.
