I'm not a big Your Party fan, but it's nice to hear about Corbyn's aspirations. His bit on Mandelson is really worth hearing.

I'm particularly susceptible to the argument in this episode that Scotland's political (and civil, tbqh) society is "intellectually weak". That we were not fucking asked about US piracy against a ship in our waters should be a gift to the SNP, but John Swinney could barely raise a whimper about it.

This was a cool episode that looks honestly at Scotland's future within the world system. There's a really poweful take in here about independence: what's independence if you don't have democracy?

Keir Starmer just admitted what campaigners have argued for years: Britain's nuclear 'independence' is a myth, says Samuel Rafanell-Williams of Scottish CND.

A pretty interesting conversation on this week's podcast, and I think a pretty clear throughline that racism, "skivers vs strivers" and for the queer community, transphobia are all weapons wielded by the ruling class to smash the working class.
