If elected, Keir Starmer, a man -  I quote - with nothing between his ears, is going to veer towards the ultra-right, betraying the people he claims to represent, says economist Yanis Varoufakis. How can he be so sure? Well, he’s seen it before. In his conversation with Oli, he polemicises Starmer’s Labour, the west’s complicity in genocide in Gaza, and laments how the City of London operates like a mafia, with its capos rewarded by Westminster. You can find out more about In The Eye of the Storm: The Political Odyssey of Yanis Varoufakis at http://www.eyeofthestorm.info/ Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.

In the week that saw Piers Morgan interview the Prime Minister and former Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson interview Vladimir Putin, it seems like there is no better time to ask what makes a good political interviewer and what makes a good political interviewee. Oli sat down with Rob Burley, who worked alongside the likes of Andrew Marr and Emily Maitlis as the BBC’s editor of live political programmes, and today is the author of Why is this Lying Bastard Lying to Me: The Search for Truth on Political TV. Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.

Corruption. It’s something that happens in tin-pot dictatorships. Amongst oligarchs scrambling for power in post-communist states. Not in the democratic mother of all parliaments. Right? But, this week, investigative journalist Peter Geoghegan, revealed that Rishi Sunak’s wife part-owns the IT firm Infosys, which is set to land tens of millions of pounds in government contracts. Oli sat down with Peter to discuss these findings and what they mean for government integrity. Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.
