We live in a time of crisis and catastrophe - and it goes much further than COVID-19. Capitalism is driving the world to the edge, as ever more concentrated ownership, major corporations and Big Finance put profit before human comfort, happiness and even existence. Is the climate emergency going to doom us all?

I'm joined by two brilliant guests - Mathew Lawrence and Laurie Laybourn-Langton, the authors of the new book 'Planet on Fire' - which sets out a new vision for the world, reimagining production, consumption, exchange, work and leisure, "based on principles of equality, deep freedom, solidarity, sustainability and democracy."

Also - how the Bristol's police's claims of serious injuries collapsed, and what that means.

If you're feeling downbeat about everything, this is for you!
