Since becoming a Labour MP in 2015, Clive Lewis has made a huge impression: from serving in Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet to fighting for climate justice. We had a lot to talk about: Corbyn's suspension, Labour and antisemitism, racism, proportional representation, whether Keir Starmer will stick to his promises - and Labour's future.

34. Clive Lewis: "There is no route to power for Labour without transformative policies"

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. Hosted on Acast.
