The Owen Jones Podcast
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.

'No Evidence' For Israel's Claims Against UN Palestinian Agency, UNRWA
Remember how Israel's claims that staff at UNRWA - Gaza's main humanitarian agency - were involved in 7th October attacks drove the ICJ ruling from the headlines, and led to Western countries cancelling funds? Those claims are falling apart. Journalists who've seen Israel's dossier say there's "no evidence" to back them up. This is a scandal of monumental proportions.

Exposed: Labour Plot To Purge Pro-Palestinian Left-Wing MPs
Labour's leaders are planning to boot out MPs who have such outrageous extreme opinions as 'rich people can afford to contribute more', 'public services are better run by the public' and 'war crimes are bad'.

Brianna Ghey's Murder: We Have To Talk About Transphobia w/ Jess O'Thomson
Brianna Ghey was a loved, talented 16-year-old girl with her life ahead of her. She was also trans, and suffered transphobia hatred. Almost exactly a year ago, she was brutally murdered, and the two young killers have been sentenced. Crucially, the judge acknowledged the role of transphobia in this hideous crime. I speak to the brilliant Jess O'Thomson, a journalist and legal researcher, who sat through the whole case - about not just what happened to Brianna, but what it says about our society,...

Labour Disgraces Itself Over Gaza
Labour has just suspended left-wing MP Kate Osamor. Her crime? Describe Israel's onslaught on Gaza as a genocide, just days after the highest court on earth placed Israel on trial for possible genocide. Meanwhile, Labour's Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy claims the party has always been clear through the conflict that international law must be upheld. That is a lie. Here's the sordid truth about Labour's wretched Gaza policy - and how it's allowed the Tories - and Israel - to get away with ...

It’s called ‘pinkwashing’ - the use of LGBTQ+ rights to justify Israel’s brutal oppression of the Palestinian people.

Israel's Lies Over Its Gaza Famine Exposed - w/ Alex de Waal
It's hunger which risks killing most Palestinians, not bombs and bullets. Israel is using hunger as a weapon of war - and Israeli claims there are no food crisis in Gaza is a grotesque lie.

Israel Suffers Massive Defeat In ICJ Genocide Case
The International Court of Justice has issued a devastating provisional ruling against Israel today. Don't fall for the spin of the apologists for Israel's crimes: the ICJ has accepted there is a plausible case that Israel is committing genocide, and that it must be fully investigated. In the meantime they have imposed provisional rulings which, among other things, order Israel to cease killing and maiming Palestinians and provide full access to food, water and humanitarian assistance - all impo...

Israeli Spokesperson Rattled And On The Ropes - Mark Regev Finally Under Pressure
