It appears that he is determined to destroy the government of the US.A lot of 'cover' talk that the administration is engaging in now concentrates on using what it is characterizing as 'antisemitism' to use against those who disagree with the administration. Many American Jews know this is a pretext for the administration's actions against universities, law firms, and other organizations.Migrants' social security numbers are being deactivated into 'death files', thus making them invisible, and unable to use banks, get employment, or any similar actions. This dehumanization is deliberate.We discuss the actions of the administration with respect to a LEGAL resident who was abducted by ICE and sent to a Salvadorian prison with no due process.

Former New York Times reporter John Markoff has been writing about Silicon Valley for almost a half century. In December 1993 the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist wrote one of the earliest articles about the World Wide Web, referring to it as a "map to the buried treasures of the Information Age." So where are we now in the history of tech, I asked Markoff. Is the AI boom just one more Silicon Valley cycle of irrational exuberance? And how do contemporary tech titans like Sam Altman and Elon Musk compare with Steve Jobs, who Markoff covered for many years.John Markoff is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. He has reported on Silicon Valley for more than four decades and wrote for The New York Times' science and technology beat for 28 years, where he was widely regarded as the paper's star technology reporter. He is the author of five books about the technology industry including his upcoming book Whole Earth: The Many Lives of Stewart Brand (on sale in March 2022). For decades Markoff has chronicled how technology has shaped our society. In Whole Earth, he delivers the definitive biography of one the most influential visionaries to inspire the technological and cultural revolutions of the last six decades. While Stewart Brand is largely known as the creator of The Whole Earth Catalog that became a counterculture bible for a generation of young Americans during the 1960s, his life's work is much larger. Brand became a key influence in the ‘70s environmental movement and the computing world of the ‘80s. Steve Jobs adopted Brand's famous mantra “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” as his code to live by, and to this day Brand epitomizes what Markoff calls “that California state of mind.” Brand has always had “an eerie knack for showing up first at the onset of some social movement or technological inflection point,” Markoff writes, “and then moving on just when everyone else catches up.” Brand's uncanny ahead-of-the-curve-ness is what makes John Markoff his ideal biographer. Markoff's reporting has always been at the cutting edge of tech revolutions—he wrote the first account of the World Wide Web in 1993 and broke the story of Google's self-driving car in 2010. Stewart Brand gave Markoff carte blanche access in interviews for the book, so Markoff gets a clearer story than has ever been set down before, ranging across Brand's time with the Merry Pranksters to his fostering of the marriage of environmental consciousness with hacker capitalism and the rise of a new planetary culture. Markoff's other books are: The High Cost of High Tech (with Lennie Siegel); Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier (with Katie Hafner); Takedown: The Pursuit and Capture of America's Most Wanted Computer Outlaw (with Tsutomu Shimomura); What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry; and Machines of Loving Grace: The Quest for Common Ground Between Humans and Robots. He is a Fellow at Stanford University's Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. He has been a lecturer at the University of California at Berkeley School of Journalism, and an adjunct faculty member at the Stanford Graduate Program on Journalism. In 2013, Markoff was part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team for Explanatory Reporting “for its penetrating look into business practices by Apple and other technology companies that illustrates the darker side of a changing global economy for workers and consumers.” He continues to work as a freelance journalist for The Times and other organizations. Markoff graduated from Whitman College with a B.A. in sociology, and an M.A. in sociology from the University of Oregon.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

“Sometimes I'm not sure even believers understand the power that exists in their sheer humanity. That there really is something that God has placed on the inside of us that when we come to some form of collected agreement—not uniformity, but just some kind of collective unity around something—that really wonderful, great, powerful things can happen.” (Rev. Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson) Growing up in Oakland, California, Jackie Thompson didn't know that sociologists were referring to her neighbourhood as “The Killing Zone”—a part of the city with the highest concentration of homicides. Now, as senior pastor of Allen Temple Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson continues to serve the Oakland community throughout its ups and downs, offering a Jesus-centred vision of justice and hope, present to the pain and suffering of the city. In this episode Thompson joins Mark Labberton for a discussion of her local pastoral ministry in Oakland, California. Together they discuss Jackie's life and experience as a one of the first women to be appointed senior pastor in a black Baptist church; her college experience at UC Berkeley; what it means to respond to the call of social justice and biblical faith; the blessings and challenges of pastoring a large black church in Oakland; how to centre local ministry on the pain and suffering of a community; the temptation of power; the political season and candidacy of Kamala Harris; and how to “fight for a vision of the kingdom of God where there is enough for everybody.” About Rev. Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson Described as a transformational preacher, dynamic leader and ministry trailblazer, Rev. Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson is an inspiring example of what God can do with a life committed to the call. She currently serves as the beloved senior pastor of the Allen Temple Baptist Church in her native Oakland, California. Her 2019 election made history nationwide as the first woman called to serve as senior pastor of this historic African American Baptist Church founded in 1919. Before being called in this capacity, Thompson served as the assistant pastor at Allen Temple and as youth minister at Shiloh Baptist Church of Washington, DC, the first woman to serve in both capacities. Committed to excellence in scholarship, Thompson received her bachelor of arts in political economics from the University of California, Berkeley, and a master of divinity from Howard University School of Divinity in Washington, DC. While at Howard, she received the Nannie Helen Burroughs Award for Academic Excellence and the Henry G. Maynard Award for Excellence in Preaching and Ministry. Believing in the importance of both orthodoxy and orthopraxy, Thompson continued her studies at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, where she was awarded the doctor of ministry degree in African American church leadership. She is a member of the NAACP and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Her activism and leadership have been recognized by various chapters honouring her with the Community Excellence Award and as Distinguished Woman of the Year. Among other honours, Thompson has been inducted into the distinguished Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers. Thompson is a gifted preacher, administrator, and published author travelling and ministering extensively nationally and internationally, often in arenas previously unchartered by women. In addition, she has been called on by local and national print and electronic media as an opinion leader to offer perspective and hope amid the pressing issues of the day. She is currently on the teaching staff of the Berkeley School of Theology in the area of public theology and preaching. Her mission is to see transformation in the lives of others and is humbled by every opportunity to serve. Show Notes Learn more about Allen Temple Baptist Church: https://www.allen-temple.org/ Growing up in “The Killing Zone” in Oakland, CA “There was a really big difference in how we look at something and describe it and how the people who experienced it describe it themselves.” “At twelve years old, we started visiting all kinds of churches in Oakland, right? So I've been to every church just about storefront, larger church, every one.” The experience of Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland Matthew 28:18–20 Dr. J. Alfred Smith—one of the most beloved heralded African American pastors in the United States Restlessness Youth ministry in Oakland Social justice and biblical faith The power of a pastor: “I miss your voice in the choir!” Choir for young adults The ministry of Dr. J. Alfred Smith—”God was absolutely central and primary, and the point of action that held everything together. And then you had this galaxy of every kind of life experience that was being represented, talked about, honoured, celebrated from children to all, all generations and ages, but also women.” “Pastoring was never something I wanted to do. … But what happened was life.” “She's a very dignified, prideful black mom. … And she said, ‘I don't recognize you before.'” Trailblazing as the first female assistant pastor of a major black baptist church An imaginative tour of Oakland Oakland is a tale of two cities—the hills and the flatlands Shifting the narrative about Oakland, violence, justice, and power. “I believe part of our responsibility, particularly at Allen Temple, but not just Allen Temple, as people of faith, as people who say that we are followers of the way and that we believe in Jesus—that we call power structures to account.” “Fight for a vision of the kingdom of God where there is enough for everybody.” Walter Brueggemann: “The numbness that can come with royal consciousness” Remaining connected to the epicentre of people's pain Joshua crossing the Jordan: twelve stones to build a memorial Good Samaritan on the Jericho road The history of Oakland's ups and downs Washington, DC, and the power centre of the world “There are no permanent friends. There are no permanent enemies. They're just permanent interests. … What that taught me is that the players around the table will change. As long as the interest in the centre of the table stays the same, it does not matter how the players change.” Oakland as microcosm for other urban cities “The temptation is always power.” “I try and keep the centre of the cross with the vertical and the horizontal meet before the eyes of the people in a way that they can see it, that they can grab hold to it, and they can decide how that, that's how will they, they centre and position themselves in there for the cause of the kingdom.” “What is the burden that you feel like you're primarily carrying?” “Sometimes I'm not sure even believers understand the power that exists in their sheer humanity. That there really is something that God has placed on the inside of us that when we come to some form of collected agreement—not uniformity, but just some kind of collective unity around something—that really wonderful, great, powerful things can happen.” Comparing Obama's nomination to Kamala's nomination Focusing on the needs of the people Thompson's preaching as centring the pain on a deeper centre of Jesus Christ Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

However, Midday's guest today has written a book that asserts the constitution itself poses a threat to our republic.

In this special episode of the Z3 Podcast, host Rabbi Amitai Fraiman is joined by two guests involved with Jewish life at UC Berkeley: Rav Maya Zinkow, Campus Rabbi, and Dr. Masua Sagiv, Koret Visiting Assistant Professor of Jewish and Israel Studies and Senior Faculty member at the Shalom Hartman Institute. In this roundtable discussion, all three reflect on their recent visits and experiences in Israel and explore the emotional and political divide between the realities on the ground in Israel and the discourse in the U.S., particularly on college campuses. The conversation dives into the challenges Jewish students face navigating campus life, where progressive movements often clash with Zionism during a time where social media amplifies misinformation and extremist narratives, complicating conversations about Israel, and leaving students caught between popular opinion and their Jewish identity. Rav Maya and Dr. Sagiv discuss the delicate balance of providing pastoral care to students while also encouraging critical thinking on complex issues like Israel, Zionism, and Jewish identity. This episode offers a thoughtful discussion on the intersection of Jewish education, campus activism, and the future of Jewish identity in both Israel and the diaspora. About our guests: Rav Maya Zinkow Rabbi Maya Zinkow is the Campus Rabbi at UC Berkeley Hillel. She received rabbinic ordination and a Master's in Jewish Women and Gender Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary as a Wexner Graduate Fellow.

Before starting her rabbinic studies, Maya graduated from Barnard College with a degree in English literature and creative writing, and followed her love of text to the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies, where she learned Torah for two years and now serves as summer faculty.

This Day in Legal History: Equal Rights Party FormedOn September 20, 1884, a group of American suffragists formed the Equal Rights Party in San Francisco, marking a significant moment in the fight for gender equality in the United States. The party was established with the goal of securing "equal and exact justice" for all citizens, regardless of color, sex, or nationality. A key focus was on amending state laws to recognize women as voters and to ensure equal property rights, aiming to empower women to become self-sufficient rather than remain dependent. In a bold move, the party nominated Mrs. Belva Lockwood as its candidate for U.S. President and Marietta Snow for Vice-President. Lockwood, a lawyer and prominent suffragist, became one of the first women to actively campaign for the presidency. While Grover Cleveland ultimately won the election, Lockwood's candidacy broke new ground. She garnered around 4,149 votes, all cast by male voters, as women did not yet have the right to vote nationally. This event showcased the growing momentum of the women's suffrage movement, which would eventually lead to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote. The Equal Rights Party's formation highlighted the early intersection of gender, legal rights, and political advocacy in American history.An Alaska man, Panos Anastasiou, has been indicted for sending over 450 threatening messages to six U.S. Supreme Court justices and two of their family members. The threats, which began in March 2023 and escalated in January 2024, included violent, racist, and homophobic language, as well as calls for assassination and torture. Federal prosecutors allege that the messages were intended to intimidate and retaliate against the justices for their legal decisions. Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized that the threats undermine the judiciary's independence and public officials' safety. While the indictment did not name the specific justices targeted, details in court filings suggest that some threats were directed at Justice Clarence Thomas, referencing racist tropes and his wife's political activism. Anastasiou has been temporarily detained, with prosecutors expressing concern that he poses a flight risk and a continued danger due to his history of threats against public officials. The case follows a growing concern for the security of federal judges, highlighted by recent threats against other Supreme Court justices, including an attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2022.Alaska Man Charged With Threatening Supreme Court Justices (1)Following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 decision to ban race-conscious admissions, Harvard Law School saw a drop in students of color, with the percentage decreasing from 51% in 2023 to 43% in the new class. This is the first class admitted after the ruling, which stemmed from cases against Harvard and the University of North Carolina. The data from Harvard does not break down racial groups, leaving unclear how different minority groups were affected. The overall decline translates to about 45 fewer non-white students out of a class of 560, marking the lowest diversity percentage since 2017. Other top law schools have reported mixed results, with some maintaining or increasing their diversity. The University of California, Berkeley School of Law, which has been under a state affirmative action ban since 1996, also reported a decline in students of color. More detailed racial breakdowns from law schools will be provided by the American Bar Association in December.Harvard Law School says enrollment of students of color dropped after affirmative action ban | ReutersIn a long-running lawsuit accusing Google of secretly tracking internet browsing in "incognito" mode, a major dispute remains over legal fees. Plaintiffs' lawyers from firms like Boies Schiller Flexner and Morgan & Morgan are seeking $217 million in fees for securing a settlement that mandates Google to delete billions of records and update privacy disclosures. Google has countered, arguing the fees should be capped at $40 million, claiming the settlement offers no monetary relief for consumers since the lawsuit failed to gain class-action status. Plaintiffs' attorneys claim their work, valued at $62.4 million in time, provides $3 to $6 billion in privacy benefits to consumers. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who presides over the case, noted the plaintiffs were not entirely successful but did acknowledge the significance of the privacy reforms. She also questioned some of the billing rates, calling $667 per hour for document review “excessive.” The case is awaiting a final ruling on the fee dispute. Other recent legal fee awards include $107.8 million in a separate Apple settlement and $102 million for attorneys in a stock-lending conspiracy case.Legal Fee Tracker: Google, privacy lawyers clash over $217 million fee bid | ReutersJohnson & Johnson (J&J) has increased its offer to over $8.2 billion to settle thousands of lawsuits alleging that its talc-based baby powder caused cancer, up from a previous $6.5 billion offer. This increase reflects a potential $1.7 billion hike to resolve the litigation, with claimants expected to receive larger payouts and $650 million allocated to cover legal fees. Despite continuing settlement talks, J&J maintains its baby powder is safe and has been marketed appropriately for over 100 years. The company has already secured over 75% support from claimants for a settlement covering cases related to ovarian and other gynecological cancers, which may expedite resolution through bankruptcy courts. Some plaintiffs, however, have yet to agree to the terms. J&J has also settled 95% of claims alleging that its baby powder was contaminated with asbestos, leading to mesothelioma. Analysts expect the additional $1.1 billion increase to be within acceptable limits for investors, contributing to a recent rise in J&J's stock. Total payouts related to the baby powder litigation now exceed $13.4 billion.J&J Lifts Baby Powder Settlement Bid to More Than $8.2 BillionAviation executive Farhad Azima has settled a lawsuit with law firm Dechert and two of its former senior attorneys, Neil Gerrard and David Hughes, over claims they participated in a scheme to hack Azima's emails and use the information in court to harm his business. The terms of the settlement, which was reached in New York, were not disclosed, and Dechert denied any liability in the case. This marks another legal victory for Azima, who previously had British judgments against him thrown out after it was revealed that hackers had been used by Dechert's client, the Gulf emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. Earlier in 2024, Dechert paid Azima £3 million ($3.8 million) to settle a separate case in the U.K. without admitting liability. The firm also settled with journalist Jay Solomon, another hacking victim, last year. Azima continues to pursue legal action against other parties involved in the hacking, including Israeli private investigator Amit Forlit, who faces extradition to the U.S. on related charges.Aviation executive Farhad Azima settles with law firm Dechert over hacking claim | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Franz Liszt.Franz Liszt was one of the most influential and innovative composers and pianists of the 19th century. Known for his breathtaking piano technique and wide-ranging compositions, Liszt's musical legacy includes both virtuosic showpieces and deeply spiritual works. While his early career was defined by dazzling performances across Europe, his later years saw a profound religious transformation. This turn towards spirituality is epitomized by his ordination as a cleric on this date, September 20, 1865, a significant date in his life that influenced his compositional direction.One of Liszt's most introspective and spiritual compositions from this period is Via Crucis, written between 1878 and 1879. It is a moving meditation on the Stations of the Cross, combining minimalistic textures and religious themes. The work strips away the flamboyance of his earlier pieces, reflecting a profound inner contemplation. The opening movement, Vexilla Regis, captures the solemnity and grandeur of Christ's procession to the crucifixion, using austere harmonies and chant-like melodies to evoke deep reflection.As we close this week's program, we'll leave you with Vexilla Regis, the opening theme of Via Crucis. This haunting and reverent piece sets the tone for Liszt's spiritual masterpiece, inviting listeners into a quiet, reflective space. Without further ado, Franz Liszt's Vexilla Regis, from Via Crucis, enjoy. This is a public episode.

New presidential administrations start with a flurry of administrative actions. These fresh rules, guidelines, and procedures in turn face judicial scrutiny from the moment they are finalized. Oversight from the judiciary can keep agencies accountable and within the bounds of the law. But when judges get the final say on everything the executive does, policies can take years—even decades—to implement and can fluctuate wildly with the ebbs and flows of litigation. Has something gone awry with the way judges are “saying what the law is”?Featuring:Prof. John C. Harrison, James Madison Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Virginia School of LawProf. Amanda L. Tyler, Shannon C.

  As we've been reporting throughout the day, OJ Simpson has passed away of Cancer at the age of 76. Once celebrated as a football player and later revered as a commentator in the NFL, his notable accomplishments on the gridiron were overshadowed by the high-profile murder trial of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.  The bloody stabbing deaths of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole and Goldman rocked Los Angeles. Later, when Simpson faced trial--KNX, which is an all-news station--broke format to broadcast the trial live, aided by experts in the law, relying on a USC law professor, Erwin Chemerinsky, who's now the dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law.  He is gracious enough to join us on-air once again nearly 30 years later to talk about the impact of the trial on the legal world, the media landscape and society itself.

We'll be unpacking lessons from the COVID 19 pandemic for many years to come. Dr. Tomás Aragón, who leads public health for the State of California, joins us to discuss what he learned guiding America's most populous state through this challenging and disruptive period. We discuss:That public health's deepest power lies in the ability to help diverse groups reach consensus under great uncertaintyHow California redeployed an army of census workers to support the COVID responseThe biggest opportunities to use AI for public healthThree great book recommendations: “How Emotions Are Made” by Lisa Feldman Barrett, “High Conflict” by Amanda Ripley and “Fifth Discipline” by Peter M. SengeDr. Aragón shared insights about leadership: “The other thing is to really appreciate the importance of human psychology. It is so incredibly important … You're going to come up against people who are going to “resist”. I don't think of it as resistance. I just think they're being human. That's just all it is. People have variability in how they process information … And so rather than seeing things as resistance, you really just see it as part of the diversity of ingenuity that exists in an organizational culture.” Relevant LinksDr. Tomás Aragón's UC Berkeley Public Health profileDr. Tomás Aragón's GitHub blogArticle on Bay Area pandemic response: The epidemiology and surveillance response to pandemic influenza A (H1N1) among local health departments in the San Francisco Bay Area“How Emotions Are Made” by Lisa Feldman Barrett“High Conflict” by Amanda Ripley “Fifth Discipline” by Peter M.

The Supreme Court last month heard oral arguments in United States v. Rahimi, in which the Court will decide the constitutionality of a federal law that criminalizes the possession of firearms by individuals on whom state courts have imposed domestic violence protective orders. This case came to the Court following its June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. In that case, the Court determined that whether a law violates the Second Amendment depends on whether there is a “representative historical analogue” for the contemporary law. Amanda Tyler, the Shannon Cecil Turner Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, argued in a recent article in Lawfare that the many laws disarming loyalists that existed at the time of the Founding serve as a set of “historical analogues” required by Bruen to demonstrate the constitutionality of the statute at issue in Rahimi—a claim which has been disputed by Rahimi's lawyers.

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Ziad Obermeyer delves into the complex issues of bias, safety, and generalizability of medical AI. Dr. Obermeyer emphasizes the importance of machine learning researchers' task formulation, an often-overlooked yet significant determinant of bias in AI algorithms. Highlighting the dual impact of machine learning, he compares two of his works that demonstrate how AI can either exacerbate or help mitigate health care disparities. Lastly, he discusses the significant challenges encountered in the development of AI models due to siloed and inaccessible data, sharing his own experiences and solutions in tackling this issue. Dr. Obermeyer is the Blue Cross of California Distinguished Professor at the Berkeley School of Public Health, Co-Founder of Nightingale Open Science, and Co-Founder of Dandelion Health.

Sam and Emma host Adam Hochschild, lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley School of Journalism, to discuss his recent book American Midnight: The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy's Forgotten Crisis. First, Sam and Emma run through this weekend's updates on the Georgia runoff, the North Carolina power station sabotage, this week's Supreme Court cases, and more, before watching Pete Buttigieg put his McKinsey training to use in his platitude-laden defense of putting down the freight rail workers. Adam Hochschild then joins as he dives right into the decade leading up to his World War I era of “American Midnight,” parsing through the various arenas of violence that were simmering at the start of the 20th Century, with mass suppression of labor struggles, immigrant movements, and Black communities all boiling over with the start of the War. Next, Hochschild focuses on Woodrow Wilson's presidency, highlighted by a crackdown on civil liberties alongside an expansion of the federal presence both domestically and internationally, using the War as an opportunity to establish the US as a military power, before parsing more carefully through the role of the Espionage and later Sedition Acts, and the Wilson administration's attack on public dissidents. Continuing post-war, Adam, Emma, and Sam walk through how the treatment of the Espionage Act evolved, including Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr's eventual Supreme Court dissent and the reaction to the over 1000 arrests under these laws and their local counterparts, also exploring the impact of this suppression on the socialist and labor movements in the US, before diving into the story of Mitchell Palmer's anti-immigrant crusade to help bolster a run for the presidency and how he was thwarted. Wrapping up, Hochschild tackles the role of prohibition in the American Midnight, and explores the impact this period had on the American political pendulum moving forwards. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss Biden's shallow attempt to frame his undermining of the freight rail workers as inevitable, Herschel Walker's inscrutability, and Jimmy Dore's argument on why having David Duke is a good presence in discourse, actually. They also parse through Matt Taibbi's incredible reveal that Hunter Biden has a penis and PR teams exist (incidentally, also employed by the Right), Donald Trump talks about suspending the constitution while Republicans stay in line behind him, plus, your calls and IMs!

Suzi talks to Dean of Berkeley School of Law Erwin Chemerinsky about the just completed Supreme Court term, handing down decisions that overturned vast areas of law. The Court's decisions ignored settled law and took away a Constitutional right in the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade. Chemerinsky argues that this court did not follow a judicial methodology, legal principles, or precedents: instead, a conservative majority on the court is making the Republican Party platform Constitutional law. We get Erwin's analysis and ask what can be done.Turning to the UK, Suzi talks to Tariq Ali about the saga of PM Boris Johnson's resignation—brought down by Tory ministers who decided Johnson's personality and unethical conduct had gotten in the way of his politics, which they mostly support. Tariq Ali says that the Tories have been ruthless in dumping Prime Ministers who might lose them the next election, like Thatcher, May, and now Johnson – but Labour is only ruthless in removing a Leader who poses a threat to the extreme center. Under Keir Starmer, Labour has not challenged Johnson's political record, or presented an attractive alternative to the Tories, so Boris Johnson is going, but Britain is still stuck with the same rightwing politics. We get Tariq's view. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
