Bold Politics with Zack Polanski
How The Left Can Come Together To Beat Reform | Yanis Varoufakis | Zack Polanski
How we lost the argument on Britain’s relationship with the European Union forever? What is the point in our nuclear weapons if Donald Trump’s America has such power over whether we can use them or not? What has the left learned from the formation of Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s Your Party?
Zack Polanski speaks to Greek political party leader Yanis Varoufakis about playing a role in the formation of Corbyn and Sultana’s new party, how our nuclear weapons actually function and why we’re approaching artificial intelligence through completely the wrong lens.
