As Labour positions itself to passionately oppose Tory plans to hike corporation tax and introduce a windfall tax on businesses which profiteered from the pandemic, it's time to ask - what does Keir Starmer's leadership actually believe in? Joining me are James Schneider - Jeremy Corbyn's former Director of Strategic Communications and spokesperson - and Zoe Williams - Guardian columnist.

38. LIVE SHOW: What does Keir Starmer's Labour believe in?

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.
