  • TPS152 INSUFFICENT BREXIT | Phil Cunliffe, Peter Ramsay

    Brexit was necessary but insufficient, as the UK remains mired in the anti-democratic pathologies of 'member statehood'. Two of the authors of Taking Control: Sovereignty and Democracy After Brexit - Bungacast and UCL's Phil Cunliffe and LSE's Peter Ramsay - join us to discuss their novel thesis on the history of the EU, how Leavers and Remainers alike misunderstood the meaning of Brexit, and why only leaving NATO, unifying Ireland, seceding from Britain's remaining colonial territories, and abolishing the House of Lords can finish the job!

  • 🔐TPS150 STOP APOLOGIZING | Olly Haynes

    Diane Abbott, Britain's first black woman MP, is the latest prominent figure of the radical left to be suspended from the Labour Party: this time over a letter to the Observer opining that while many groups experience prejudice, only black and brown people experience racism. The left's response? Deploy the "always apologise, always explain" strategy. Olly keeps it reasonable, and James just rants about the absolute collapse and paucity of the British public sphere since the Corbyn moment... and the decline of the "Rent-a-Gob of the left".

  • TPS149 STARTING TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF | Olly Haynes

    The journalist of the protest Olly Haynes returns for a survey of the changing shape of protest in Europe. Do 'Robin Hood' energy workers, the rejection of the 'antifascism blackmail', and Mélenchon's children in France represent a break with the 'progressivism from above' that wrecks the UK Labour movement, the German Green Party and traditional Climate activism? Are we now going to start standing up for ourselves?
