Hello all! After this unforeseen break we're reminding you of a few of the best bits so far before we move on to a new series, with a slight change of direction. Coming very soon!

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!

This week we cover a range of topics from around the globe. We start with the topic of policing, initiated by the tragic murder of Sarah Everard. We also discuss many topics in brief that we haven't been able to get to so far in the show, from Morale's Bolivia to Putin's Russia, and we share much of the content that helped us with the trip along the way!

This week we talk about a number of stories from in and around the USA.

We explore the r/wallstreetbets subreddit and to what extent it represented a tactic of class warfare against the super rich.

We pass through Donald Trump's impeachment trial in the US Senate, and some of the power dynamics around the event with the political forces involved.

We speculate about the delayed and watered down Biden campaign promise of the $2000 stimulus cheques.

And, finally lay out our analysis of the new left media landscape, what it means, and the role we'd like to play in it.

Enjoy!

This week we try to find our feet while discussing the context around the military coup of Myanmar's government and the implications for democracy on the world stage.

We dive into the recent change in UK policy around covid travel restrictions and what it means for the Labour Party. Also a revealing Labour presentation was leaked to the public containing ideas around a new focus for the party.

Finally, we touch on Bernie Sander's proposed legislation for an increase in the US federal minimum wage and what earning $15 an hour could mean for the average American.

Hello and welcome to the very beginning of our journey! This week we take our first tentative steps into the wild world of podcasting and discuss some of the context about us and why we're doing this. We touch on some broad topics we would like to explore in future and decide on a name and format to get it all rolling.

Thanks for joining us, and we can't wait for you to take a trip to the left with us.
