Something a little bit different from the normal political chat this week as we talk about the Future of Football. It was great to be joined by Worcester City FC board member Luke Cox for this one as we covered the impact of COVID on the UK footballing pyramid, how far the game has moved away from its working class roots and why many are turning to supporting fan owned clubs.

We decided for our first Last Orders of 2021 to review the shit-show of a year that was 2020. Honourable mentions include David Guetta ending racism, the woeful return of Spitting Image and the celebrity lockdown Imagine video. Hopefully we’re in for a better year ❤️
For 2021 Dan and Jarrad have launched a new series of podcasts called State of the Union. The episodes will be a fortnightly look at the U.K Trade Union Movement and we hope to bring you interviews with organisers about ongoing disputes, the political landscape within specific unions and hopefully bring you some practical ways to organise your workplaces and tackle issues facing workers up and down the country. Our first episode is with GMB organiser Jake O’Malley and looks at #StopTheBritishGasFire, the complexities of organising in the midst of a pandemic and how the Trade Union movement must respond to a Tory Brexit.
It was an honour to have been joined by Jorge and Katerina from Hands Off Venezuela for our most recent episode. We try and give a chronological account of the Bolivarian revolution, debate Venezuela’s future and discuss the importance of the global left opposing imperialist involvement in the country’s affairs
A lot has happened in the world since the summer of 2019 when we witnessed the beginnings of a new worldwide climate justice movement. In this episode the guys chat about where that movement is today, where it has gone wrong and why you can’t solve climate change without dismantling capitalism.
Little bit of a delay with this one but here is our U.S Election episode. We chat about the plans for Trump America when he leaves the White House, what a Biden Presidency means for the left and what happens to American politics from here.

We are back to our scheduled programming for series 2 of the pod with ‘The Limits of Social Democracy.’We try and define modern social democracy, what its core problems are and what distinguishes us as socialists. We also, ironically given our emergency pod earlier this week, discuss whether it is beneficial for socialists to engage with and be active within social democratic parties.Like, follow, share and review.
WE ARE BACK (slightly earlier than first expected).We have two podcasts recorded this week to launch series 2 of the pod. The first of which is called The Limits of Social Democracy and the other is our new series of Last Orders episodes which will be a less formal monthly chat.We are also hoping to do a livestream for Tuesdays US election so follow us on all social media platforms.With todays announcement that Jeremy Corbyn has been suspended from the Labour Party we had to to get a reaction episode out as quick as possible.So here it is, enjoy, thanks to Jarrad for guesting and stay safe out there.
This week we had the privilege of being joined by Jeanne Morefield to talk about liberalism, its global discontents and whether we are seeing the collapse of the liberal world order.Jeanne is a senior lecture in political theory at the University of Birmingham and her class is the reason this pod exists. She has previously written for the Boston Review and Jacobin Magazine and is currently writing a book which examines the political thought of Edward Said.References Phil Ochs - Love me I’m a Liberal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nFvhhCulaw Morals of the Market https://www.versobooks.com/books/3087-the-morals-of-the-market Michael Goodhart - Injustice: Political Theory for the Real World https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780190692421.001.0001/oso-9780190692421 Chomsky vs Buckley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DvmLMUfGss
In the wake of Trump declaring Antifa a terrorist organisation and the UK far-right mobilising to defend Churchill’s statue, we thought we would talk about the importance of anti-fascist organising. We spoke to Craig who is an anti-fascist organiser in the Midlands about what being an anti-fascist means, what the far-right looks like in the U.K and what can the left do to oppose the growth of fascism.

We had the absolute pleasure of being joined on this week's episode by Leah Martindale, a master’s student at the University of Bristol, soon to be the SU’s postgraduate education officer, and one of the most prolific voices for justice and socialism on social media. A little longer pod this week to ensure we comprehensively covered the horrific murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police and the uprisings we have seen around the world as a result. We hope this gives listeners a view into institutional racism around the world, the role of the police in capitalist society and how you play a role in the civil rights struggle of our time.
