Hello and welcome to TheLefty, your half weekly podcast in which we discuss politics and news from a leftists' perspective. This week I'm joined by the brilliant James A. Smith, an academic and writer. James has written two books, Other Peoples Politics and Work Want Work. James and I discuss the Labour Party, the Corbyn moment, class politics, the populist left, Paul Mason's Grayzone article, NATO hypocrisy and the importance of unifying the working classes for socialism. Thanks for your time James, you were a tremendous guest.
