This wide ranging podcast flows out of the  question of the influence of the USA on the UK and the rest of the world. We outline the nature of US hegemony and its roots in the dollar's status as world reserve currency, in military power, and in soft power. Trump's employment of federal military force in Portland and other US cities is analysed and its origins in the Right-Internationale play book is discussed. The wider significance of the Trump presidency and its symptomatic nature is thus bought into focus, particularly with regard to the decline of the hegemon and its desperate, rear-guard reliance on Goebellian propaganda techniques. In the context of UK current events, we re-visit the Yellow-Hammer report on the possible consequences of a no deal Brexit and picture how the added economic catastrophe of the COVID19 pandemic might well give rise to civil unrest. Despite this gloomy picture, we find reasons to hope, but they must entail  grassroots action which goes beyond protest into the practical building and defending of communities, whilst not abandoning the need to capture the state.

This week, Karin looks at the UK elections, and Boris Johnson's "stonking majority" to try and understand what happened in the UK and whether there are any lessons to be learned for Democrats in terms of the challenge of running against Trump in November, and what kind of candidate the left should be nominating in an age of right wing populism such as Johnson seems to represent. She's joined by her colleague James Morris, MD of Edelman Public Affairs in London who talks us through what he learned about voters' mindset from conducting focus groups all over the country during this election.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/democratically/message

This week, everyone's gossiping about the weird uncle at the NATO summit. Poor old Trump has got the hump. Also, Joe Biden tries to be 'one of the boys' with hilarious results and Michael Bloomberg gets a new nickname from Trump. Plus, the Britain Trump faces questions about trust, but keeps ramming home his simple Brexit message. All this and much more on a jam-packed Trump Dump!

This week President Trump shrugs off those heart murmours with his powerful chest. He also visits Afghanistan, pardons a turkey and gets an invite to his own impeachment hearing. Meanwhile, in Old Blighty, the Britain Trump comes under fire for dirty electioneering tactics and Michael Gove spits out some song tings. 'Aight.

This week, the impeachment trial goes live and we get an intimidating live stream of consciousness via Trump's thumbs. Another old ally of the president gets taken down and minor Die Hard character Donald Trump Jr enters the *New York best sellers list (*with a dagger). Meanwhile across the pond, despite asking, we still don't know how many children the Britain Trump has sired. And as the election campaign gets underway, the candidates are discovering the public aren't always happy to see them.

This massive episode sees an anonymous insider offer an insight into the strange inner-workings of the Whitehouse. The impeachment continues gathering momentum, while at the same time, the US polsters have Trump losing to all main Democratic contenders. Meanwhile, in the land of the Britain Trump, an Eton-Oxford Tory (no not Boris) makes alarmingly offensive comments to kick off the election campaign.

This Halloween week, Trump pulls a triumphant military operation from his bag of tricks, but the impeachment process continues to gather momentum. Meanwhile, for the Britain Trump, the Brexmas election wish comes true!

Prime Minister Boris Johnson headed for the United Nations in New York on Sunday to argue that post-Brexit Britain will be a dynamic world power taking the lead on tackling climate change and an unstable Middle East. But he and his country face some big hurdles.He is struggling to strike a withdrawal agreement with a skeptical European Union, and a looming verdict from Britain's Supreme Court could derail his Brexit plans.Johnson is likely to be dogged by Brexit throughout his three-day trip to the General Assembly, the U.N.'s annual gathering of world leaders.More than three years after Britain voted to leave the EU, the departure date has been postponed twice, and the U.K. Parliament has repeatedly rejected the only divorce deal offered. The country is facing a chaotic exit on Oct. 31 unless Johnson's government can, against the odds, secure a new agreement.In search of a deal, Johnson is scheduled to hold talks at the U.N. with EU leaders, including European Council President Donald Tusk, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.But many leaders of the 28-nation bloc mistrust Johnson, a brash Brexit champion who played a big role in persuading British voters in 2016 to opt to leave the EU. And they say Britain has not come up with workable ways to maintain an open border between EU member Ireland and the U.K.'s Northern Ireland — the key sticking point in the dispute.A senior British government spokesman said talks with the EU so far have been positive, but "there is an awful lot of work still to do.""What is obviously encouraging is that all sides do want to try and achieve a deal," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the government's thinking.European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said a no-deal Brexit "would have catastrophic consequences," including customs posts and other barriers between Ireland and Northern Ireland. But he said it would be Britain's fault."We did not invent the Brexit," Juncker told Sky News in an interview broadcast Sunday. "We were never pleading in favor of any kind of Brexit. That's a British decision, and so it has to be dealt with in that way."Johnson also has a meeting scheduled with President Donald Trump, who has called the British leader "a really good man" and claimed that some refer to Johnson as "Britain Trump."There are similarities: the distinctive hair, the use of populist people-versus-elites rhetoric. However, the two leaders differ significantly on climate change. Trump pulled the U.S. out of an international climate accord, while Johnson is committed to slashing carbon emissions and will extol Britain as a leader in clean energy during a U.N. Climate Action Summit on Monday.Johnson is keen to keep on the good side of the mercurial president, since a future free trade deal with the United States is seen by the government as one of the main prizes of Brexit.At home, Johnson is bracing for a Supreme Court ruling on whether he broke the law when he suspended Parliament for five weeks ahead of the Oct. 31 Brexit deadline.Johnson says the suspension was a routine measure to prepare for a new session of Parliament. Opponents claim he acted illegally to stop lawmakers from interfering with his plan to leave the EU, with or without a Brexit deal.The 11 justices could rule as early as Monday. A ruling that the suspension was illegal would be a huge blow to Johnson's authority and could see lawmakers recalled to Parliament immediately.The turbulent backdrop means Johnson may struggle to gain attention at the U.N. when he announces new programs to fight climate change and preserve biodiversity, tells a business audience in New York that "post-Brexit Britain will be a better place to invest in and live in," or discusses "British values" in a speech to the General Assembly on Tuesday.Steven Fielding, a political historian at the University of Nottingham, said Johnson's nationali...
