I don't normally swear this much but it was a shit summer! Do read the Substack if get the chance

Had a great chat with @athenakugblenu.bsky.social about her personal politics!

Super fun conversation. I hope you’ll check it out.

This week on What's Left, I had a great time criticising The West Wing with leftist screenwriter @josholson.bsky.social! Josh also teaches us how to sneak communist ideas into Hollywood scripts and I promise to help you talk like Obama (if you pay me): open.substack.com/pub/amyhogga...

In this week's leftist interview, I talk to Noam Bar-Zemer about solar, fridge magnets and renouncing his Israeli citizenship. Not to be missed if you don't mind me saying amyhoggart.substack.com/p/noam-bar-z...

This week, I interviewed @peltzmadeline.bsky.social about the far-right online, Charlie Kirk and young women and her identity as an anti-Zionist Jew 🧡 amyhoggart.substack.com/p/madeline-p... Subscribe for free weekly chats with interesting people on the Left!

Last night, I had to spend nearly an hour evilling all the women pushing in front of me in the queue at the Hampstead Ladies’ Pond. Currently on a train evilling the guy in front watching TV on his phone without headphones. I am so passive-aggressive and English that my eyes are now hurt.

I think the Scots & the Canucks do it the best. @amyhoggart.bsky.social #2017Throwback #FullFrontal

Mystery solved thanks to @lilbonax.bsky.social! @amyhoggart.bsky.social created this brilliant piece for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee in 2017. Here is the full segment. youtu.be/3pbTmXsfiYk?...

Guys, be real... how are you actually doing Bluesky?? Have you picked THIS place as where you post and forgot the rest? Or have you decided to post absolutely everything across absolutely every single platform? I miss old Twitter.

Best of the merciless @amyhoggart.bsky.social #Throwback #FullFrontal youtu.be/PxCMZaYJNRk...

that's one of my best friends and i'm in awe of all the work he does 🙏

This week's conversation was with Eric Thurm! Mostly about the Zohran campaign which he describes as an "MLM that's not about robbing people". amyhoggart.substack.com/p/eric-thurm...

I had such a great chat with activist and educator Tirrea Billings this week! We talked about grassroots lobbying and the importance of local activism and centring the stories of those affected: amyhoggart.substack.com/p/tirrea-bil...

But do people know THIS about Zohran Mamdani?????

One year of Labour! Well. What are we all thinking!?! I asked Sheeps' Liam Williams whether he celebrated Starmer's win like his Dad celebrated Blair's (by napping). amyhoggart.substack.com/p/liam-willi...

There’s a direct correlation between how overwhelmed I feel about the world and how much nostalgia TV I watch. Anyway, just decided to restart Ally McBeal.

My little leftist heart has been so buoyed by the NYC primary this week. But in my quest to hear from all over the left, my interview this week is with a real legacy Dem, Sidney Blumenthal! amyhoggart.substack.com/p/sidney-blu...

I had so much fun talking to @emmaburnell.bsky.social about Greenham Common, Dirty Dancing and Slimming World this week! amyhoggart.substack.com/p/emma-burne...

This is so heartbreaking and so important to listen to: www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

The two words I struggle to spell the most are fasciscm and diorerahhea. Because they’re both horrible things, I’ve decided that my brain is making a moral judgement here.

Had such a great chat with @theconsciouslee.bsky.social who identifies as “left” but pointed out there’s fascism on both sides. We cover tons, incl: his childhood, career, neo-colonialism and how to change someone’s mind (his answer was NOT what I expected!) Read/watch: www.amyhoggart.substack.com

Mel Stride on Liz Truss's legacy

I LOVE chickening out of things. It's so relaxing to not do stuff that makes you nervous. Has Trump ruined chickening out? Or has his rejection of it made it a good thing?

You’re telling me this guy was on drugs? I’m not buying it.

This week, I interview ex-communist economics professor, Photis Lysandrou amyhoggart.substack.com/p/professor-...

I interviewed @sorayachemaly.bsky.social this week about 'cyber feminist post-humanism', 'life-affirming ways of governing' and a bunch of other fascinating ideas she first had to very patiently explain to me amyhoggart.substack.com/p/soraya-che...

I so enjoyed talking to @jonnelledge.bsky.social about his politics on Substack this week. Check out our conversation and remember to buy his book for male relatives who you don't know what to get for Christmas! amyhoggart.substack.com/p/the-left-w...

I feel obscurely like this headline will get me lynched? But nonetheless, @amyhoggart.bsky.social was kind enough to interview me about what I think about Stuff

Such an interesting interview with Sarah Leonard, editor of socialist @readlux.bsky.social, about her left-wing politics this week! amyhoggart.substack.com/p/sarah-leon...

If you're a transphobe celebrating in the UK today, congrats on massively helping out the patriarchy. You just made life harder and more dangerous for trans women (mostly), but also all trans/non-binary people and cis women. A cruel and monumentally stupid step backwards for trans + women's rights
