- Jeremy Corbyn has been no stranger to international solidarity in his long career as a politician. He sat down with Ava to discuss his campaigning for the blockade to be lifted on Cuba, after a summer of campaigning which led him to travel to the Caribbean island to show his support for its people.
Corbyn also breaks down his assessment of Andy Burnham's time as Labour leader to this point, and how the former Manchester mayor can solidify Labour's recent spike in the polls.

- Daron Acemoglu is a Nobel Prize-winning economist and author of What Happened to Liberal Democracy. He joined Ava to explain why liberal democracy is facing one of its biggest crises in generations — and what needs to change to save it.
Acemoglu argues that the problems facing democracies go much deeper than individual politicians. Across the UK, US and Europe, trust in political institutions has eroded as economic growth has become less widely shared, communities have weakened and the relationship between political elites and working-class voters has fractured.

- Owen Jones makes his PolJOE debut to talk all things Western decline, chatting to Ava about where everything went wrong.
His new book, The Fall of the West, recaptures the narrative of our present economic, military, and moral crises. From Western support for Israel and complicity in their crimes, to Donald Trump and rising authoritarianism, Jones exposes the West's hypocrisy.
From the legacy of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, to deindustrialisation, stagnant wages and the financial crash, he argues that decades of concentrated wealth has led to precipitous decline.
Also, a healthy scrutiny of the British press, some Ed Sheeran talk, a vision of the future with Zohran Mamdani, and more.

- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the invitation for his country to become the European Union's first-ever "associate member" in a speech delivered before the European Parliament on Thursday.
The move comes in defiance of Donald Trump, who has threatened even more tariffs.
"Canada welcomes this ambition. And I will tell you, polling shows that an overwhelming majority of Canadians support much closer ties with Europe," he said in Strasbourg.
Carney portrayed an ever-closer EU-Canada alliance as a "beacon for other democracies" based on shared values and "open enough that others can join".
He cited energy security, critical minerals, defence capabilities, artificial intelligence and finance as areas for deeper integration. He also said the two sides should work to allow young people to "live, work and study" on either side of the Atlantic Ocean.

- Mark Carney has accused Donald Trump of economic “coercion” after he threatened to impose tariffs on the EU following news Canada could become the bloc’s first associate member.
Speaking at the European Parliament on Thursday, the Canadian prime minister told members that economic tools were being used to “exert pressure" and force him to back down.
“Financial mechanisms have been used for coercion. Supply chains constitute weak points to be exploited,” he said.
So could Canada join the EU? And what does that mean for Donald Trump and the US?
