- "It's oily social democracy, not green socialism."
On Novara Live, Ash Sarkar and Michael Walker discuss the split in the labour movement over fossil fuels, after reports that Andy Burnham might issue new oil and gas drilling licences in the North Sea.
On Sunday, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the people of Scotland are "dancing in the streets" at the prospect of more drilling in the North Sea. He said it would transform the UK from a "poverty stricken disaster to one of the richest countries anywhere in the world."
But critics argue that it wouldn't actually bring down bills or provide energy security, since the vast majority of oil from the North Sea ends up being exported anyway.

Gregory D. LoGerfo, Donald Trump's coordinator for counterterrorism, told media on Monday about the "far-left terrorists" that the US is designating as terror groups, revealing that the US is "looking actively at more designations" in the future.
His comments came after US secretary of state Marco Rubio declared war on "leftwing terrorists" last week. And on Monday, his department released a report that was described as a "blacklist" for popular leftwing figures like New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani and streamer Hasan Piker.

- We live in times of crisis. But perhaps none of the crises affect so many people in the here and now, as the housing crisis. Solving it could provide the skeleton key to unlocking so many of society’s problems. Despite this, decades of successive governments in the UK have failed to bring housing under control. The social contract which told us that if we worked hard all our lives, we can own a home and be secure in retirement, has been completely broken.
To discuss the crisis in Britain and beyond, Aaron Bastani sat down with Peter Apps. He is an award-winning journalist who knows the field of housing in Britain better than almost anyone. He wrote an article about the threat of flammable cladding a month before Grenfell caught fire.
How has housing policy shaped Britain in the last 50 years? Who did more to damage the housing system, Labour or the Tories? Is more housing supply always the solution? And why is no one talking about the crisis facing our agei...

The Palestinian doctor has been held in Israeli custody for over 530 days and was last seen by Physicians for Human Rights Israel in an almost unrecognisable state, with severe injuries to his head and back.
“He appeared extremely weak, struggled to sit upright without falling, and on several occasions seemed on the verge of losing consciousness,” the group wrote in a statement last week. During the visit, the doctor said he did not foresee his survival.
Dr Safiya was arbitrarily detained in December 2024 after the Israeli military raided the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza, according to Amnesty International. Since then, he has been held without charges or trial in the Rakevet centre, where Palestinians are routinely subjected to torture.

The former city trader first joined us on Downstream four years ago. A lot has changed since then. This week, after a bruising round of media including attacks from Piers Morgan and the Guardian, Gary sat down to give his side of the story to Novara Media’s Aaron Bastani.

What does he think needs to be done, to keep out Farage and Reform? And do the recent spate of attacks in the media show that - counter to what they say - Gary’s actually winning the argument?
