For today's episode we're revisiting our debate from January 2020, "There's Not Much Great About Britain". Our panel of top speakers battle it out over whether Brits should be proud or ashamed of their country. Is the phrase 'Great Britain' an oxymoron, or is Britain one of the world's most free, open and tolerant societies, therefore making it the best place to live in the world? Listen to this debate, hear the arguments and make up your mind. Speaking for the motion we had journalist and broadcaster Peter Hitchens alongside Will Self, the novelist, broadcaster, and literary critic. Speaking against the motion were Kate Hoey, the former Labour MP for Vauxhall and alongside Sayeeda Warsi, the lawyer, politician, and former co-chairwoman of the Conservative Party. -------- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Tune into a special taster of Media Confidential's sister podcast: former Conservative cabinet minister Baroness Sayeeda Warsi joins deputy editor Ellen Halliday and Alona Ferber on the Prospect Podcast.In a moving and emotionally frank conversation about her journey in the public eye, she talks about her lifelong effort to challenge stereotypes, and why she's finally resigned the whip.Politicians, media outlets, think tanks and even the entertainment industry have poisoned public discourse, culminating in this summer's riots, which saw mosques targeted and a wave of anti-Muslim disinformation. Sayeeda unpacks these ideas in her new book Muslims Don't Matter, about “the silencing, stereotyping and stigmatising of Muslims” and describes how Islamophobia, which she calls “Britain's bigotry blind spot”, not only passes the “dinner table test”, but has been embraced and enacted into policy.Muslims Don't Matter is out now: https://www.littlebrown.co.uk/titles/sayeeda-warsi/muslims-dont-matter/9780349136486/And to listen to more from the Prospect podcast, visit https://prospect.lnk.to/podcastgu Hosted on Acast.

That's not just the reality for a lot of Muslims living in Western countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, where Islamophobia has gone mainstream in both politics and the media.It's also the name of a new book from Sayeeda Warsi, the British baroness and former Conservative cabinet minister, which examines her fear and heartbreak when it comes to the way in which even the perception of being a 'Muslim' results in dehumanization and bigotry.Mehdi recently traveled to London and sat down for a wide-ranging conversation with Baroness Warsi on the growth of Islamophobia in the US and the UK and how Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza, in the wake of the Oct 7th attacks, has resulted in further hatred directed at Muslims across the globe.The two also discuss the state of the UK's Conservative Party with Warsi, who served as the country's first Muslim cabinet member, recently resigning the Conservative whip, saying her party has moved too far to the Islamophobic right.“I think that the Conservative Party's relationship with the Muslim community is deeply toxic and flawed,” Warsi tells Mehdi. Gaza also comes up, with Warsi condemning the UK's support for “war crimes” against the Palestinians under both Conservative and Labour governments. In 2014, Warsi quit David Cameron's Conservative-led coalition government in protest over the then Israeli assault on Gaza. Watch the full interview above, it's a great conversation.

Former Conservative Party Chairwoman, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, came by JOETowers to speak to Ava about her outrage over the Government's approach to Israel and her Party's move the the far-right. Her book Muslims Don't Matter is out now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Baroness Warsi, former Conservative cabinet minister and lawyer, joins Ellen and Alona to talk about her new book Muslims Don't Matter, about “the silencing, stereotyping and stigmatising of Muslims by the British press and political parties.”Politicians, media outlets, think tanks and even the entertainment industry have poisoned public discourse about Muslims, culminating in this summer's riots.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Britain's first Muslim cabinet minister, has long been an outspoken critic of her own party over its attitudes towards Islam. Last week, after an investigation was launched against her over a post on social media, she resigned the whip saying it is a reflection of ‘how far right' the Conservative Party has moved since her time in office.  Warsi has just released a book, “Muslims Don't Matter”, which is an impassioned polemic setting out her views on the hypocrisy and double standards applied to British Muslims. In this episode of The Political Fourcast, she speaks to Cathy Newman about the Israel-Gaza war, Islamophobia in the UK and the Conservative Party's "disturbing" shift to the extremist right. Produced by Silvia Maresca and Calum Fraser.

David Baddiel joins Simon and Matt for a chat about his new non-fiction book, 'My Family: The Memoir' He discusses his relationship with his mum and dad, some of the hilarious anecdotes from his childhood that appear in the book and the love that he has for both his parents, despite their quirks and faults. His family life growing up was complicated, and David doesn't shy away from telling the home truths of his upbringing. Simon and Matt also discuss David's brilliant new podcast, "A Muslim And A Jew Go There" which he co presents with Sayeeda Warsi. Here's some more gumf on the book: A searingly honest, funny and moving family memoir in which David Baddiel exposes his mother's idiosyncratic sex life, and his father's dementia, to the same affectionate scrutiny. On the surface, David Baddiel's childhood was fairly standard: a lower-middle-class Jewish family living in an ordinary house in Dollis Hill, north-west London. But David came to realise that his mother was in fact not ordinary at all. Having escaped extermination by fleeing Nazi Germany as a child, she was desperate to make her life count, which took the form of a passionate, decades-long affair with a golfing memorabilia salesman. David's detailing of the affair – including a hilarious focus on how his mother turned their household over to golf memorabilia, and an eye-popping cache of her erotic writings – leads to the inescapable conclusion that Sarah Baddiel was a cross between Jack Niklaus and Erica Jong. Meanwhile, as Baddiel investigates his family's past, his father's memories are fading; dementia is making him moodier and more disinhibited, with an even greater penchant for obscenity. As with his mother's affair, there is both comedy and poignancy to be found: laughter is a constant presence, capable of transforming the darkest of experiences into something redemptive. My Family: The Memoir is David Baddiel's candid examination of his childhood, family and memory offering a twisted love letter to his parents. Learn more about your ad choices.

British politics has been dominated by race this week. The big picture is that certain ideas which would once have been unsayable are now commonplace within the Conservative Party. Sayeeda Warsi was at the centre of the Cameron modernisation project, where he sought to bring ethnic minorities into the tent. Now she's in the wilderness and gives us a perspective of the changes which have taken place in her party. Among other things she calls some Tory ministers “arsonists” who seek to divide and that Michael Gove should be “nowhere near” communities and extremism policy. And the Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called on Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to resign or be replaced by elections as he is a “block” on the peace process. Will Biden be next to call for Israeli elections?

A week on from George Galloway's victory in Rochdale, Sayeeda Warsi and David Baddiel discuss why Gaza seems to be THE issue for so many British Muslims.

Headlines speak of a polarised society, but most of us seem to be much more at ease with one another than this suggests. Nevertheless, religious diversity still seems to be a problem, and it is Islam that is viewed with most suspicion. Sayeeda Warsi and Julian Hargreaves join Ed Kessler to discuss Islamophobia...

Is the phrase 'Great Britain' an oxymoron, or is Britain one of the world's most free, open and tolerant societies, therefore making it the best place to live in the world? Listen to this debate, hear the arguments and make up your mind. Arguing in favour of the motion There's Not Much Great About Britain were Peter Hitchens, columnist for the Mail on Sunday, author and broadcaster; and Will Self, novelist, broadcaster and literary critic.Arguing against the motion were Kate Hoey, former Labour MP for Vauxhall; and Sayeeda Warsi, Conservative member of the House of Lords.The debate was chaired by Anthony Seldon, historian and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham.

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to Shahmir Sanni about being outed in full public gaze. The two spoke on the morning where the man who had outed Shahmir was elevated to the House of Lords, but Shahmir explains that he no longer has any space to be angry: he’s exhausted by it. He tells the story of how he found out he was about to be outed, how he told his family, and what they said to him. Shahmir also discusses his own deep reading of the Koran, and why British Muslims need to embrace gay Muslims

Sayeeda Warsi discusses different ways of being gay, with academic and activist Suhraiya Jivraj. They begin their conversation about which death list they were on, for promoting the rights of women and LGBTQ people within Islam, but they move on to the discrimination faced by Muslims in LGBTQ communities. Suhraiya also discusses her own study of the religious sources, and how her grandmother showed her acceptance, without words passing.

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to Ferhan Khan about the challenges he faces as a queer man in both Muslim and LGBTQ communities. Ferhan describes facing homophobia in one, and Islamophobia and racism in the other. He talks about the challenges to his faith in LGBTQ spaces, and why he doesn’t want to be an ex-Muslim. But he also challenges British Muslim parents: don’t be afraid to love your children

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to Yousef, who doesn’t act on his same sex attraction, and rejects it as an identity. In an extraordinarily frank conversation, Yousef explains that he isn’t ashamed of his attractions but that it would be for very difficult for him to be open about them within his community. He discusses celibacy, and what Islam says about same sex attraction. Yousef isn’t his real name, though, and his words are spoken by an actor, because he hasn’t told anyone close to him about his attractions – not his friends, not his family, and not his wife.

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to Nabeela, a British-born, US-based lawyer, about coming out when she’d already achieved personal success. Nabeela explains to Sayeeda why she is so comfortable with her many different identities, and why she is very optimistic for the future

Sayeeda Warsi introduces her new podcast about navigating Islam and same-sex attraction. The two are often presented as binary opposites, but the reality is more complicated.

“In politics, if you get the platform to make a difference – rather than getting precious about the power you don’t have, use the power you do have” Sayeeda Warsi served in David Cameron’s Cabinet and was co-chairman of the conservative party from 2010 to 2012. She grew up in West Yorkshire, in a family of Pakistani Muslim immigrants – and trained as a solicitor with the Crown Prosecution Service before leaving to move into politics. Iain and Sayeeda discuss the conservative party, politics, racism and being in positions of power.

Samira Ahmed speaks to the Conservative politician Baroness Sayeeda Warsi. Warsi speaks about the moments that shaped and inspired her voice from growing up in a working-class family in Yorkshire to becoming the first Muslim politician to serve in a British Cabinet. Throughout her journey one mantra kept her going: 'If not me then who? If not now then when?'

On dialogue. In a special podcast by the Woolf Institute, recorded live at our 'We need to talk about Israel/Palestine' event, Baroness Warsi and Jonathan Freedland attempt to do just that. How can British Muslims and Jews talk about the conflict? Why have past discussions led to so many tensions? And what can we learn from an open and honest dialogue? Featuring Jonathan Freedland, Sayeeda Warsi and Ed Kessler.

Sayeeda Warsi made history when she was appointed to the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government's Cabinet in May 2010, and was also made Conservative party co-chair. The daughter of working-class Pakistani immigrants, she walked up Downing Street for her first Cabinet meeting dressed in a traditional South Asian salwar-kameez; it was a landmark moment in British politics. Sayeeda Warsi talks to Farhana Haider about her journey into government and about Islamophobia in politics.(Photo: Baroness Sayeeda Warsi outside 10 Downing Street in London, May 2010.

Sayeeda Warsi was the first Muslim woman to serve in British Cabinet. She was appointed to the House of Lords in 2007 and resigned from the Cabinet in 2014 over the Conservative Party's policy towards the Israeli Gaza conflict. She talks to Krishnan about wanting an inquiry into Islamophobia in the Tory Party, why she thinks politics has gone backwards and how a globally adopted human rights policy would change things.

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to activist Sajda Mughal, caught up in the 7/7 bombs in London, about the effect it had on her life. The course of Sajda's life changed that day, and she discusses how the realisation that the bombs had been set off by men from her faith affected her. She also explains why she is so frustrated at the representation of Muslim women in public life - as meek and oppressed. "I don't need empowering, I don't need liberating," she tells Sayeeda

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to Welsh trade unionist Shavanah Taj about being a British Muslim woman. Shavanah explains her frustration that the conversation about Muslim women is so often focused on what women wear, obscuring other important issues that leaders within Muslim communities, and observers outside it, should prioritise instead. She discusses the importance of her faith in her daily life, and how it has affected her wish to get involved in improving society.

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to anti-FGM activist Nimco Ali about being a British Muslim woman. They discuss sex and relationships, misogyny, speaking truth to power, the difference between culture and religion, and why guilt keeps Nimco going.

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to Julie Siddiqi about being a British Muslim woman, and why endless discussions about the burka stop more important conversations from taking place. Julie is co-chair of the Nisa-Nashim network of Muslim and Jewish women, and points out the similarities between the issues many Muslim women face within their communities and those of women in other faith communities.

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to Maz Saleem about her father, who was murdered by a far-right extremist. They discuss stereotypes of Muslim women and Muslim men, and talk about the daily challenges and pleasures of being a Muslim woman in 21st century Britain.

Sayeeda Warsi discusses the challenges facing British Muslim women in 2018 with trainee Army medic Ammani Bashir, who explains how the Army helped her find her place in Islam.

In the first episode of her new podcast, Sayeeda Warsi speaks to spoken word poet Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan about Islam, patriarchy and why she wasn't sure about taking part.

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi was halfway through the serialisation of her book, The Enemy Within: A Tale of Muslim Britain, when the Westminster attacks happened. In this special interview visit the former leader of the Conservative party at the House of Lords to reflect on her book and its difficult timing, and to ask what leaders in both the Muslim community and at a national level can do to challenge prejudice and terrorism.

On Start the Week Amol Rajan talks to Sayeeda Warsi about how far Britain's Muslim community is viewed as 'the enemy within'. As the child of Pakistani immigrants who became Britain's first Muslim Cabinet Minister, Baroness Warsi is in a unique position to explore questions of cultural difference, terrorism, and 'British values', and to explore how society can become more integrated. The economist Paul Collier has spent his career looking for solutions to seemingly intractable problems: in his latest book he focuses on the Syrian refugee crisis and argues for the establishment of special economic zones where displaced Syrians could work and benefit their host countries.

On 10 February 2016, Free Word, in collaboration with Fritt Ord and the Royal Norwegian Embassy, hosted a screening of Deeyah Khan's powerful film, 'Jihad: A British Story'. The screening was followed by a panel discussion and an audience Q+A involving Deeyah and some of those featured in 'Jihad', chaired by lawyer and cabinet minister Sayeeda Warsi. This event was part of Free Word's series, 'Unravelling Europe'. Against a backdrop of increasing fragmentation fuelled by anxiety and fear, the conditions and values that underpin our open, democratic societies are under threat. Putting artists at the heart of the discussion, 'Unravelling Europe' sets out to ask: why is this so, what are the consequences and how might we act to counter them?

The Conservative peer, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi is one of the most prominent Muslims in Britain. She was the first Muslim to sit in the cabinet, before she resigned last year over government policy on Gaza.

Co-chairman of the Conservative party, Baroness Warsi recalls her Pakistani-born father during her Yorkshire childhood telling her about the heroic martial deeds conducted by a thirteenth century Indian princess, Razia Sultana. Descended from humble stock, the much mythologized Sultana ruled for less than four years in the 1230s, but has long been celebrated as the first female Indian Muslim leader. Sayeeda Warsi explains why she's fascinated by this character whose reign was abruptly brought to an end by the jealous rivalries of the male nobility around her who could not tolerate the fact that she had been chosen by her father above the heads of her brothers. We'll hear whether Sayeeda draws inspiration from Razia's model of bold leadership, and whether she finds parallels with her own experience of British politics today within the senior ranks of the Conservative Party. Writer and expert on India, William Dalrymple sets the scene, explaining how and why Turkish Muslims had an empire that reached as far as the Himalayas, at a time when northern India was having to withstand the Mongol incursions of Genghis Khan.
