S1 E7 - There and Keir: Solidarity with Palestine

Listen Later

After an unintentional short break we're back with a mega-episode! This week we open with a provocative introduction, thanks to Novara Media, and then dive into the topic of Israel Palestine: discussing some historical context, our own experiences with the movement, and then connecting it up to the geopolitical stage where these issues are fought. We go on to discuss the leadership of Keir Starmer, and examine some of the most controversial contradictions and where we go from here. There's so much more to come, thanks for listening and thanks for joining us as we trip to the future!
