The Owen Jones Podcast

Owch.

Go head to head with Mick Lynch on the facts at your peril.

Enough is enough. We've been lied to for years: and so I'm going to show the truth about immigration, and how it's been used to deflect anger at everything wrong with this country.

Ok, Keir Starmer cheerleaders. Come and try and defend this, without resorting to "waa waa you're a Tory enabler!!"

What do they have to hide? This is ridiculous: the Tories are dragging their own inquiry through the courts to stop them getting hold of crucial messages from Boris Johnson...

The Tories want you to believe that we're out of the woods on the economy, but facts are facts: inflation is higher than predicted - particularly food prices; inflation is higher than any Western European nation; and interest rates are set to go even higher than projected. Just how bad a mess are we in - and how much worse will it get?We're joined by brilliant economist James Meadway.

Oooooof. If you're a Tory trying to spin water privatisation as a resounding success, probably don't do it on a panel with Martin Lewis. And as we see, the claims about our crap spewing water industry are based on lies - which is why public ownership is the only practical solution.

Suella Braverman has already been forced to resign once for her behaviour in office, and now she's embroiled in allegations that - after she was caught speeding - she tried to get civil servants to arrange a one on one speeding awareness course to avoid embarrassment. But the real scandal of Braverman goes so much deeper.

I mean, this guy was Health Secretary, part of a government which oversaw a totally catastrophic response to the pandemic, broke his own rules, then tries to spin himself as the victim. Pathetic - and it sums our political elite up.
