Speaking to a packed audience of supporters, trade unionists, and grassroots organisers, Corbyn argues that real political change will not come from Westminster, but from community organising, solidarity, and collective action.
In his speech, Corbyn reflects on the state of British politics under Keir Starmer’s leadership, criticising Labour’s drift to the right and its abandonment of transformative policies that once inspired millions. He calls for a renewal of the values that first built the labour movement — public ownership, social justice, peace, and equality — and urges the crowd to build a new force for hope and dignity in working-class communities across the UK.
Emphasising the power of grassroots movements, Corbyn celebrates the local campaigns, food banks,...

Speaking to a packed room of activists, trade unionists, and community organisers, Sultana outlines how Your Party will become the left-wing alternative to Keir Starmer’s Labour, standing for justice, solidarity, and real change.
In her speech, Sultana warns that Britain is on the brink of a dangerous shift, as the far right gains ground and the political establishment continues to fuel division and despair. From the scapegoating of refugees and migrants to the erosion of workers’ rights and protest freedoms, she argues that fascism is not a relic of the past — it’s a threat of the present. But rather than surrendering to fear, Sultana calls for collective resistance, reminding the crowd that “we’ve beaten fascism before, ...

Kinnock, who led Labour through the 1980s, offers a frank assessment of the current political landscape, and makes the case for a wealth taxes on the highest earners, arguing they are both economically necessary and morally vital to restoring a sense of fairness in a country “brushed off and left behind.” He calls for audacity in government, urging Rachel Reeves to shake off “Treasury shyness” and use taxation and public investment to rebuild trust and opportunity.
Turning to Reform, Kinnock warns that the far right thrives on grievance and neglect, preying on communities abandoned by decades of economic change. He tells Ava that the only way to defeat them is through tangible achievement and practical improvement in people’s lives, ...

- Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana appeared in front of a packed St George’s Hall in Liverpool to launch Your Party ahead of its inaugural conference next month.
The joint front follows a public dispute over party memberships.
Sultana had previously accused Corbyn of overseeing a "sexist boys' club", saying she had been sidelined by him and fellow independent MPs Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain, Iqbal Mohammed and Shockat Adam.
The split emerged after an email was sent to supporters inviting them to sign up as a member for £5 a month or £55 a year.
Sultana had promoted the membership scheme on social media but Corbyn later said the emails were "unauthorised" and should be ignored, while any direct debits set up should be "immediately cancelled".
The MP for Coventry South insisted the launch of the membership portal was "in line with the road map sent out to members", with funds to be held by a company set up by the party to safeguard...

From TikTok to television, Richie explains how younger audiences are now overwhelmingly turning to social media and YouTube for their news and information, while older generations remain loyal to traditional broadcast and print. The data reveals striking gender divides too: young men are more likely than young women to trust YouTube, podcasts, and social platforms as news sources.
The discussion unpacks why that trust gap exists, how confidence and simplicity in communication can influence credibility, and what happens when nuance disappears from online debate.

- Outside the BAE Systems weapons factory in Rochester, Kent, pro-Palestine activists gathered to voice their outrage at the company’s role in supplying parts for the F-35 fighter jets used by Israel in Gaza. Protesters explain why they are blocking the entrance to one of Britain’s most important weapons manufacturing sites, accusing BAE Systems and the UK government of complicity through their continued support of Israel’s operations.
The activists highlight how BAE Systems produces critical components for the F-35 jets that are used by the Israeli Air Force and reduced much of Gaza to rubble. Despite the UK government’s claims that it has stopped selling weapons directly to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), campaigners argue that the production of F-35 parts for joint projects with the United States proves that Britain remains deeply involved in enabling Israel’s actions.

- Outside the 2025 Conservative Party Conference, party members give their honest reactions to Reform UK’s rapid rise in the polls — and whether Nigel Farage now poses the biggest threat in the party’s long history. With recent polling showing Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives, many grassroots Tories are confronting uncomfortable questions about the state of their party and the future of the right in Britain.
In this vox pop, Conservative members, councillors, and activists share their views on Reform’s growing appeal and the reasons why so many voters are abandoning the Tories. Some argue that the government has failed to deliver on promises around immigration, Brexit, and free speech, while others insist that only the Conservative Party can offer credible leadership. Many see Farage as a dangerous disruptor capable of fracturing the right-wing vote, while others believe his message reflects the frustration of ordinary people who feel ignored by Westminster.

Oli, who became embroiled in the discourse on BBC Newsnight yesterday, recounts his on-air clash with a Conservative grandee after pointing out the hypocrisy behind Jenrick’s comments. He makes the point that there isn’t much diversity in the private members’ clubs frequented by Conservative MPs like Jenrick where the corridors of power are still overwhelmingly white and male.
The conversation moves on to unpack Jenrick’s comments about politicising the appointment of judges. Ava and Oli explore how this rhetoric borrows from the American right, comparing Jenrick’s tone to the populist playbook of figures like JD Vance, and why this transatlantic influence could pose a deeper threat to British democracy.

As humanitarian aid ships sail toward the besieged territory, Heneghan outlines his personal motivations, his fears of potential detainment by the IDF (Israeli Defence Forces), and his call for global solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Heneghan describes how the siege of Gaza has turned a humanitarian crisis into what he calls “a moral emergency,” and why Ireland’s historic solidarity with oppressed peoples drives him to act. He warns that participants could face violence or arrest from Israeli forces, but insists that silence in the face of collective punishment and genocide is not an option.

- In a clip from today's podcast, Ava and Laura are joined by Freddie Feltham, co-host of the What’s Left podcast, to make the left wing case for leaving, or rather reforming, the ECHR. The conversation explores how an institution created in the aftermath of the Second World War to safeguard liberty and prevent fascism has, in Freddie’s view, evolved into something that may now be fuelling the very forces it was designed to resist.
Freddie argues that stories about serious offenders avoiding deportation under the ECHR have become ammunition for the right wing press and populist commentators, and that the left cannot afford to ignore the public anger these cases provoke. He suggests that by refusing to engage with legitimate frustrations about immigration and sovereignty, progressives risk alienating ordinary voters and reinforcing the perception that the left is out of touch.

- In this vox pop from Glasgow, we ask a simple question: Are you proud to be British?
On the streets of Glasgow, the overwhelming theme that emerged was pride in being Scottish, rather than in being part of Britain. Many people told us they feel their national identity is rooted in Scotland’s culture, history, and values, and that this pride doesn't extend to a broader British identity.
People talk about how Britishness is too often conflated with Englishness, leaving Scottish people feeling sidelined within the union. Others linked their lack of pride in Britain to political decisions made at Westminster, including austerity policies, Brexit, and the current Labour government’s direction under Keir Starmer. For them, being “British” has become associated with a system that doesn’t reflect Scotland’s priorities or democratic choices.

The idea, which has been widely discussed in international diplomatic circles, would see Blair act as a de facto colonial-style administrator in Gaza following Israel’s devastating war and ongoing occupation.
Delegates, activists, and Labour members share their reactions to this extraordinary suggestion.
