The Owen Jones Podcast

Yanis Varoufakis - former Greek finance minister, economist and politician - is one the great intellectual superstars of the left. We have a lot to talk about: Britain's deporting of refugees to Rwanda, how Boris Johnson's 'oven-cooked' Brexit deal is unravelling, Keir Starmer's dishonest leadership of the Labour party, the political situation in Spain, the revival of the French left, how the horror of the Ukraine war can end, the extradition of Julian Assange, and the controversy involving British journalist Paul Mason.Please subscribe - and help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84

With Britain in a cost of living crisis, the Tories have turned on their traditional scapegoats - migrants and refugees. The Conservatives’ policy of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda - a poor country with a bad human rights record - is just the latest stage of a racist campaign.But people are fighting back. We went to a mass demonstration outside the Home Office and spoke to MPs like Zarah Sultana and Richard Burgon, refugees and courageous campaigners - and asked whether this despicable policy can be defeated.

After over 40% of Conservative MPs voted no confidence in the scandal-ridden Prime Minister, is Boris Johnson politically speaking a dead man walking? Is it only a matter before he's booted out of office - perhaps after the upcoming by-election defeats, or after a new investigation by the standards committee found he misled Parliament? Or will he once again escape accountability?We're joined by Aaron Bastani!Please subscribe - and help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84
