    I used to enjoy listening to these guys political interviews and interpretations . After that weird trap talking about the suffragettes to Jess Philips , the woman that has probably done the most for women and girls safety in this country for decades I say boo , bad journalism.

  • Everyone should listen to this! The analysis of the care system that starts around the 25 minute mark is exemplary.

  • Misleading

    NM are good at social issues and Palestine. However they are completely lockstep with the mainstream propaganda on Ukraine, ignoring historical context and basic reality on the ground. Pretty disappointing from a channel that calls itself independent.

  • Listen with care

    Like Fox or GBNews you know what you will get with Novara - a half baked critique. So better than fox etc but fast and loose with facts and maths as it’s a centre-right wing news platform.
