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

  • Can understand why legacy media hates him

    Owen brings facts and moral clarity. When the right are hysterical, Owen sounds like a raised eyebrow and a big belly sigh - “oh dear, let’s explain journalism again…”

  • 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.

  • 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.

The Data Starmer REALLY Doesn’t Want You To See
Q: Finally, when forced to compare populisms and generational divides, where do people land on who's to blame for Britain's problems and what does that imply for future voter alignments?
Many respondents attribute issues to elites rather than immigration alone, with generational splits showing migration as a dominant concern for older voters and economic populism appealing to some younger or financially insecure groups; this suggests future alignment may hinge on how parties address migration, economics, and social values together.
Wes Streeting Launches COUP Against Starmer - w/. Ash Sarkar
Q: What do you think about Wes Streeting's leadership bid and its implications for the Labour Party?
The guest argues that Streeting represents a sharp, center-left strain that could energize urban Labour voters but may also exacerbate tensions with the party's left wing. The host frames this as part of a broader crisis in Labour's identity and strategy, suggesting that the outcome hinges on how the party reconciles internal factions and reconnects with working-class voters, while also considering whether electoral reform or a new political alignment could reshape the landscape.
Andy Burnham’s SHOCK Move To Take Down Starmer, w/. Michael Walker
Q: How might Burnham's leadership impact Labour's stance on the economy and public ownership?
The discussion implies Burnham's pragmatic, quasi-centrist approach could prioritize public ownership and infrastructure investment while balancing market realities, but there is concern about lacking a strong, coherent economic policy that clearly resonates with both left and center voters.
Andy Burnham’s SHOCK Move To Take Down Starmer, w/. Michael Walker
Q: What do you make of Wes Streeting's strategy and the push to avoid an early leadership challenge?
Walker suggests Streeting was weighing a bid but ultimately stepped back to avoid a cynical early challenge, which could damage credibility; Burnham's popularity complicates the calculation, and the overall dynamic favors a leadership path that could unify or further polarize Labour depending on whether a clear economic and vision plan is presented.
Rabbi: Don't Ban Gaza Protests After Antisemitic Attack
Q: What is the connection, if any, between the protests and the person who tried to kill two Jews yesterday, and why is banning protests seen as problematic?
The guest argues there is no logical link between the attacker and the protests, warning that using Jewish suffering to push political agendas undermines fundamental rights and risks turning protests into a tool for oppression.
