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, of... more

  • Gorton + Denton observation

    I notice how although the reform candidate MG ‘speaks’ the language of the things that matter to people yet Nigel and the wider gang of expat landlords who jet in/land in Gorton + Denton from UAE/Saudi millionaire space have no intention of observing the reality of precarious homes/work on the quality of life/infrastructural/service investment needed: witness them having a secretive ‘rally’ with supporters on an industrial estate where they can’t be held to democratic account. The people who cau... more

  • A thinker: explain this please

    Question about pubs feudalism + reform’s constituency (it’s in the malformed pub culture)

    When we hear about new legislation about leasehold reform in property hooray why can’t it be applied as a lens on the medieval way pub land/pub estates operate on landlords and tenants? It seems to me that through all the penalties and charges imposed by the estate and landholders invisibly and unaccountably on the people who want to work in a neighbourhood setting that it creates a vassal/feudal culture th... more

  • Narrow Minded “Journalist”

    I listened to the podcast “Gaza Hunger Strike; Buried by the Media” with an open mind, as I wanted hear things from the other side. I found the reporting to be deeply one-sided. While the production value is reasonable, Owen Jones provides a narrative that feels more like an agenda than an investigation.

    My main concern is the lack of balance; Owen consistently ignores the 'other side' of the story, choosing only the facts that support a specific viewpoint. Most troubling, however, is the omissi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iran War Spirals OUT OF CONTROL - w/. Annelle Sheline
Q: What could be the long-term implications for global energy markets and geopolitical alignments if the conflict escalates further?
Escalation threatens major energy hubs, drives oil prices higher, destabilizes investment climates, and could force realignments that prioritize energy security and deterrence, potentially reshaping regional powers and global alliances for years to come.
Iran War Spirals OUT OF CONTROL - w/. Annelle Sheline
Q: What is happening with the Gulf states' responses to US bases and potential attacks, and how does that shape the risk landscape?
Gulf states have publicly resisted allowing strikes from US bases on Iranian targets, while seeking to avoid becoming direct targets themselves, creating a precarious balance where their security calculus heavily influences regional dynamics.
Iran War Spirals OUT OF CONTROL - w/. Annelle Sheline
Q: Just how far could the Iran war spiral out of control, given what we know now?
The host raises the possibility of a cascading regional crisis driven by strategic incentives, escalation of energy infrastructure targets, and the willingness of major powers to intervene, which could push the conflict beyond traditional borders and into broader geopolitical arenas.
What People Inside Iran Are Really Saying About This War - w/. Alex Shams
Q: How has the diaspora influenced perceptions of the war, and what should listeners understand about Iranian voices?
Diaspora voices are diverse and not representative of all Iranians; some support the war while many oppose it. It's crucial to avoid equating diaspora opinions with the broader Iranian public and to focus on grounded, grassroots perspectives from inside Iran.
What People Inside Iran Are Really Saying About This War - w/. Alex Shams
Q: After seven days of conflict, what is your assessment of how this could unfold for ordinary Iranians?
Predicting the exact path is nearly impossible, but the trend suggests continued bombing without decisive strategic gains, increasing civilian suffering, and potential internal coercion, complicating any future move toward democratic reform.
