Podcasts about seumas milne

The other day I stumbled across a 2014 opinion piece in The Guardian titled "It's not Russia that's pushed Ukraine to the brink of war" by Seumas Milne, who the following year would go on to become the Labour Party's Executive Director of Strategy and Communications under Jeremy Corbyn. I bring this up because the perspectives you'll find in that article are jarring in how severely they deviate from anything you'll see published in the mainstream press about Ukraine in 2023. It places the brunt of the blame for the violence and tensions in that nation at that time squarely at Washington's feet, opening with a warning that the "threat of war in Ukraine is growing" and saying there's an "unelected government in Kiev," and it only gets naughtier from there. Reading by Tim Foley.

We finally did it. After succeeding in driving him out of the Labour Party, we managed to trick Mike Gapes into appearing on our podcast for an exclusive interview. With our man Rupert on the ground in Ilford South to talk to the Gapeman and his campaign manager Jack (not to be confused with our Jack, who has never even claimed to be Gapes' election agent), Jack (@gapesology) and Geraint (@waluigitifo) are joined in RP Studios St Petersburg by Ilford investigative reporter extraordinaire Mr Jimothy Baker to discuss the alleged disappearance of Gapes' alleged former campaign manage Richard Miller, and the alleged web of intrigue surrounding it, particularly the mysterious gang of allegedly violent street thugs "The Gape Goons". In his interview with the show, Gapes is quizzed on the big issues, including the Reel Politik podcast, the MIWK, Russia, Mr Seumas Milne, Mr Richard Miller and why the Lib Dems are a big pile of shit. In our final major revelation, we premiere an exclusive "Miwk Tape" leaked to the podcast by a source close to Team Gapes.

In this short special, we bring you an exclusive peak behind the iron curtain of the RP Patreon paywall. Our content this October on patreon.com/reelpolitik has included: - your regular RP newsletter, written by Jack and approved by Mr Seumas Milne - a mammoth two-hour session with Jack, Yair and friend of the show Emmett "roof access" Cruddas talking about the incredible Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (Jake Kasdan, 2007) - RP founder and artistic director Tom Foster's return to the show after a long absence, with a half-hour minisode on Michael Bay's place in the illustrious Criterion Collection. - Mooseology, a new mixtape of demos, outtakes, alternate takes and covers by Jack's band Crazy Moose, with artwork designed by Yair There's a general election going on in the UK as of two days ago, and RP need all the support we can get to spread the left-wing propaganda and do our little bit to get Jeremy Corbyn into Number 10 by making fun of Mike Gapes and reviewing films. We aim to release political episodes with a much greater regularity during the campaign. Please lend the RP propaganda machine a helping hand at patreon.com/reelpolitik

At long last, after two years of agonising political deadlock, a General Election was announced yesterday. Geraint (@wariotifo) and Yair (@rice_ys) join Jack (@gapesology) to salt every slug in the book and finally get excited again about the prospect of Mr Jeremy Corbyn and Mr Seumas Milne in Number 10 Downing Street. This emergency RP election broadcast was rushed to completion in under twelve hours, and should hopefully be the start of a big election cycle for your favourite scurrilous left podcast, and also for Reel Politik.

Ancient historian Katie Low joins Chris to talk about why ancient history has so much to teach us about modern Brexit. Will Brexit be the UK's Sicilian Expedition? (Yes.) Is Boris Johnson the modern Alcibiades? (Sort of.) Is Jacob Rees Mogg a modern Cicero? (No.) Is Jeremy Corbyn the modern Julius Caesar? (No but Seumas Milne might be.) With a side order of griping at British educational elitism. Katie's guest post on Chris' blog Timothy Snyder's speech for Europe Day 2019 - "we are more than our myths" #ThucydidesKlaxon Special Guest: Katie Low.

With Brexit literally hours away, we convene Leaver-turned-Article-50-Revoker ROLAND SMITH and law and policy expert DAVID ALLEN GREEN to stare into the abyss. How did we get here?

Jack interviews PhD student Anton Jäger (@AntonJaegermm on Twitter) about populism in its myriad, and sometimes nebulous, forms: its American origins, the respective populisms of the left, right, and centre, and the liberal discourse around populism, with its invocation of "the people" and its folk devils like Russia and Seumas Milne. Read Anton's recent Jacobin piece, The Myth of "Populism" here: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/01/populism-douglas-hofstadter-donald-trump-democracy And also for Jacobin, Anton's review of Chantal Mouffe's For a Left Populism: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/06/for-a-left-populism-mouffe-review If you enjoyed this interview, subscribe to patreon.com/reelpolitik to keep us making things!

In a special Reel Politik, Yair, Jack and Tom are joined by comrade @Pete_Begins off of Twitter - although Yair actually left five minutes in to go swimming - for a rip-roaring round of our acclaimed, ubiquitous game Cop or Comrade, in which we answer such questions as - who is the de facto leader of the opposition? Which centrist politician is our lord and saviour on earth? Which state is the "diseased maggot cock of America"? And, was the film 'Moonlight' scripted by Seumas Milne in a transparent attempt to further the insidious project of the Islington Elite? All these questions and more will be answered in the show! Note: we recorded this a couple of weeks ago, so the bit about M*lo was recorded before his controversial pro-noncing stance came to light. As ever, there are no claims herein that we would be interested in defending in a court of law.

Last October Seumas Milne, a Winchester- and Oxford-educated left-winger, was granted unpaid leave from his position at The Guardian to enter the world of political spin as executive director of strategy and communications in Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party. The appointment wasn't without controversy. Milne has been labelled a Stalinist by David Cameron and caused division at The Guardian for chairing an event with President Putin. Jeremy Corbyn has chosen a hard-left thinker as his right-hand man. As the Labour Party hustings come to a close this week, Adam Fleming speaks to friends and colleagues to find out about the man who's at the heart of the Corbyn project. Producer: Smita Patel.

Paul Johnson, Deputy Editor at The Guardian, and Jason Collie, Assistant Online Editor at the London Evening Standard, join Paul Blanchard to discuss the latest media headlines. This episode: why did The Sun scrap its paywall just two years after it was introduced? Is the Government about to weaken the Freedom of Information Act, and should reporters be concerned? Now Seumas Milne has joined Team Corbyn as communications director, what advice should he give his new boss?

In this 13 min. podcast, Chuck Carlson analyzes and compares two articles, "Now the truth emerges: How the US fuelled the rise of ISIS in Syria and Iraq" by Seumas Milne and "America's Allies Are Funding ISIS" by Josh Rogin to reveal something very interesting. There's so much disinformation about what's going on in the Middle East, it's difficult to tell what the truth is.  There's no question that the perpetual meddling by the US in the Middle East and the 25 years of wars against Iraq were bound to create some enemies and "blow-back."  

Thirty years ago, miners went on strike across Britain to resist the Tory government's plans for sweeping pit closures. The strike remains the longest mass industrial dispute in British history - a war between Margaret Thatcher and the labour movement, and the miners’ union she branded "the enemy within" in particular. The strike’s outcome signalled a profound change in Britain’s social and economic landscape and its aftershocks can still be felt throughout the country today. The Enemy Within, Seumas Milne’s classic account of the miners’ strike and its aftermath, reveals the astonishing lengths to which Thatcher’s government and its security machine were prepared to go to destroy the power of the trade unions. Recently declassified government papers have provided further revelations about the secret war against organised labour and political dissent, reflected in today's undercover police operations. Seumas Milne will be joined in discussion by Arthur Scargill, former president of the NUM from 1982-2002, union organiser Ewa Jasiewicz, Owen Jones, author of Chavs, for a special event looking at the legacy of the miners’ strike and its lessons for the future, chaired by journalist Dawn Foster.
