With the political centre in collapse and Labour struggling to maintain an image of control, we discuss to what extenet Nigel Farage can truly emulate the Trump model. Meanwhile, a major showdown looms in Gorton and Denton between Reform and the Greens. As many ask if Farage is "Britain’s Trump," we examine whether the Green Party’s message of "Hope" is enough to halt Reform’s momentum._____________________________________________________________Agree with the ideas in this show?

With the launch of the Board of 'Peace' at the World Economic Forum, the 80-year global order is shifting. By inviting Putin and China—and requiring a $1 billion "buy-in"—Trump is effectively teeing up a parallel UN under his own leadership.

Donald Trump’s threats to annex Greenland have effectively taken a bulldozer to NATO and all other western institutions. Despite Keir Starmer’s speeches and diplomatic efforts, he appears powerless to bridge the growing divide between Europe and the United States.In this episode, Fiona and Khaled explore the servility of Britain — a nation trapped between its continental neighbors and its master across the Atlantic. They argue that Starmer’s meek leadership style reflects Britain's diminishing influence in the global economy, threatening to leave it a lonely island amongst stormy seas. Could this realignment be the catalyst for changes in consciousness?___________________________________________________________________________Agree with the ideas in this show?

Britain has pushed for regime change in Venezuela for decades. Though Britain played no direct role in the criminal abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US forces, the UK government has offered its tacit support.

In this special episode, Khaled and Fiona unpack the hypocrisy of the Starmer government. We lift the lid on the nefarious history of coup-plotting and subterfuge by the British state. We also ask if the left should make appeals to international law, or build a fighting, internationalist movement against imperialism.

As the White House launches its Anti-Communist Week, the right wing seems increasingly puzzled by one question: why are so many young people in the West drawn to communist ideas and, why is their propaganda not working?

In our penultimate episode of the season, Khaled and Fiona share their personal journeys; how they became communists, why they joined the Revolutionary Communist Party, and what’s driving a new generation toward revolutionary politics.

The end of the Cold War was meant to usher in an unprecedented era of world peace.

Yet, three decades of endless conflict have instead left a trail of destruction and barbarism across the globe. Far from being peacemakers, the Western powers carry a blood-soaked record that speaks for itself.

Now, as tensions rise once again in Latin America, Ukraine, and the Middle East, we ask: Why do capitalists go to war?

Is it enough to point to the profits of the arms industry, or is war and militarism rooted more deeply in the very foundations of the capitalist system itself?

This week we ask: why is the left seemingly incapable of fighting the right wing? It is not simply a question of weak organisation or a lack of working-class support for a left-wing programme.

The deeper issue is that the left, as it currently exists, is organically incapable of solving the problems of the working class because it refuse to lay the blame on the capitalist system.

We trace the history of the reformist movements of the 2010s, explaining why they ended in defeat, and examine the “all substance and no style” left-reformists of today. We argue that any movement for reforms can only succeed if it leads a revolutionary struggle against capitalism, which is precisely what the Revolutionary Communist Party intends to build.

Neoliberalism ; it’s the ideology said to be at the root of all our problems, right? It’s a popular buzzword, but what does it actually mean? What historical conditions gave rise to it, and can we really trace all of Britain’s issues back to the premiership of Margaret Thatcher?

Fiona Lali and Khaled Malachi unpack the rise and unraveling of neoliberalism as a capitalist project, arguing that the problem runs deeper — it’s not just neoliberalism itself, but the underlying logic of the capitalist system.
