On US campus protest, the brutalisation of Gaza, and whether this is an age of war.   Join us: patreon.com/bungacast   Bunga boys Alex, George and Phil debate the matter of the day. We ask: Is the police repression and associated censorship (the anti-semitism bill) a reflection of the fact the content of the protest unsettles the establishment? Why? Why is the Left breaking with Biden and the Dems over this and not before? How do these student protests compare to BLM? And how do they compare to those of the late 60s and Vietnam? What should those in Western countries do in response to Israel's war? Is the Palestinian struggle dead? What are the risks of regional war? And does Israel's assault on Gaza presage a new era of warfare?   Links: The Triumph of American Idealism, Alex Hochuli, Damage Like it or not, the politics of war is upon us, David Jamieson, Conter Express Train to Nowhere: Class and the Crisis of the Modern Jewish Soul, Samuel Biagetti, American Affairs (pdf attached) Is this How We Can STOP Genocide Joe?, Doug Lain interviews Dr. Elektra Kostopoulos & Dave Fox, Sublation Media The Left Cannot Make Use of the Gaza War, Benjamin Studebaker, Sublation Media Meet the new Left, who think Hamas are good and that Swastikas are woke, Ryan Zickgraf, Telegraph Their Fight, Not Ours, Alex Gourevitch, The Northern Star

Following Claire Fox's appearance on The Popular Show last year, James was invited to 'The Battle of Ideas', the Spiked-connected event for political and cultural debate promising 'free speech allowed'. The event has an aura of notoriety on the left, and back in 2010, Jenny Turner described something of its oddness and agenda in the pages of the London Review of Books. Meeting TPS-favourite, Conter.Scot's David Jamieson there, James found quite a different event in 2023, one which clarified a lot of the realignment going on the left, right and reactionary centrist parts of the political spectrum today.

On Trussonomics.   [Patreon Exclusive]   Having stumbled upon a successful recipe under Boris Johnson which would see greater state intervention, Britain's Tories then pivoted to a much more pro-market approach. But the markets haven't liked it – they've hated it.   What does this say about neoliberalism and what the new orthodoxy is? Why did markets react so badly against a budget that featured things they normally like, such as lower rates of corporate taxes? And does this mean the market's authority has been restored, but under a new guise?

Jamieson spoke to Bello as part of his recent visit to Scotland organised by Global Justice Now Scotland. In a wide-ranging interview, they discuss: 1:21 – What does the rise of the authoritarian new far right look like outside of the west, where it is usually studied – as exemplified by Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines? 9:29 – Why was is the right reaping the benefit of an increasing rejection of neoliberal globalisation, when it is the left which for decades has campaigned against its damaging effects? 28:36 – How should the left in the UK respond to crisis of globalisation in the form of Brexit. In Scotland, how do supporters of independence navigate that cause around relations to the global system? 35:32 – Why the Chinese model, apparently so robust in the face of the 2008 crisis, is coming into crisis. And why it matters for the whole world.

Beyond the Noise with David Jamieson is a weekly podcast with CommonSpace journalist David Jamieson, where he gets behind the 24/7 news cycle and gets to the heart of issues, trying to find the substance behind the headlines. IN this week’s podcast, Jamieson speaks to Bill Ramsay, veteran SNP, CND and trade union activist, about how a long term commitment to Scottish independence was impacted by the independence movement of 2014. They discuss: 2:01 – What drew people into the SNP decades before Scottish independence would become a mass movement? 11:45 – How much did the issue of Scottish independence actually inform the day-to-day politics of SNP members? Was the SNP a vehicle for other political ideas in past decades? 17:29 – The SNP’s painful shift from political party routinism to social movement activity. 31:21 – Do subsequent events, including Brexit, force us to rethink how independence might actually be achieved?
