- Description
- In this interview, Yale political scientist Hélène Landemore, author of Politics Without Politicians, argues that the political systems we take for granted are no longer fit for purpose. As trust in politicians reaches historic lows across Britain, Europe and the United States, Landemore makes the case that elections alone may no longer be enough to produce governments that truly represent ordinary people.
Drawing on examples from Ancient Athens, France, Ireland, the United States, and the UK, she explains why professional politicians often become disconnected from the people they represent—and why citizens chosen by lottery could make better decisions than elected MPs.
The interview also examines the growing gap between political elites and ordinary voters, discussing the rise of career politicians, the influence of wealthy interests, and why so many voters feel ignored by Westminster, Washington and Brussels.
Landemore discusses the Yellow V...

- Runtime

- Date posted

- Description
- Jeffrey Winters, a political scientist at Northwestern University, joins us to unpack one of the most urgent questions in modern politics: how do oligarchs turn wealth into political power?
Winters challenges the way we typically think about power. Oligarchs aren’t just “corrupt billionaires” in far-off countries, they're individuals whose vast wealth gives them influence far beyond that of ordinary citizens. And crucially, they operate within democratic systems, not outside them.
From the rise of what Winters calls “in-your-face oligarchy” to the hidden mechanics of the “wealth defence industry", we explore how money flows through politics to quietly reshape outcomes.
If democracy is supposed to be rule by the people, what happens when wealth consistently tilts the playing field?

- Dive headfirst into a decade of Brexit madness, from the moment it all kicked off to the fallout that never really stopped. From Danny Dyer’s now-iconic Question Time rant, to Theresa May's struggle to deliver a deal, her eventual resignation, to the subsequent resignations and beyond.
Hear Boris Johnson's lies, Nigel Farage's lies, those that tried to hold them to account, appearances from Stephen Flynn and Yanis Varoufakis, and more. As the chaos accelerates, we stop by the shortest premiership in UK history with Liz Truss.
Finally, the political era shaped by Cameron comes full circle, culminating in the resignation of Keir Starmer in the aftermath of it all. This is Brexit: the highlights, the lowlights, and the moments that defined a generation of British politics.

- From Anas Sarwar's early call for Starmer’s resignation to the actual event some months later, watch figures from across the political spectrum plot against the Prime Minister.
From Wes Streeting’s behind-the-scenes manoeuvring to union bosses unhappy with policy, Keir Starmer was often on the ropes. Resignations began to pile up, from senior ministers to backbench MPs, and the departure of Josh Simons cleared the way for Andy Burnham's meteoric rise.
Across interviews, Commons statements and breaking news clips, MPs openly question Starmer’s authority, warning he is “living on borrowed time,” and arguing that he can't lead Labour into the next election. Hear from Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting, Rosie Wrighting, Jess Phillips, Peter Kyle, Kemi Badenoch and more.

- In this episode, we sit down with renowned economist, author, and founder of the UCL Institute for Innovation & Public Purpose, Professor Mariana Mazzucato, to discuss her new book The Common Good Economy: A New Compass, and why she believes modern capitalism is failing to deliver for ordinary people.
From Palantir's NHS contracts and the future of AI governance to Thames Water, steel, industrial strategy, and the green transition, Mariana argues that governments have lost confidence in shaping markets around public purpose. Instead, she says, we've created an economy that too often socialises risk while privatising reward.
We explore why governments fund many of the world's biggest innovations, from the internet and AI to Tesla and SpaceX, yet rarely share in the rewards when those investments succeed. Mariana explains how public investment helped create some of today's most valuable companies, why she believes Britain's relationship with business has become ...

- Ava sits down with investigative journalist and winner of Private Eye's Paul Foot award Peter Geoghegan to talk Labour Together, Josh Simons, and the APCO scandal.
Geoghegan takes us inside the investigation that forced Simons, who gave up his Makerfield seat for Andy Burnham, to resign. At the centre of the conversation is Labour Together: the organisation that helped shape Keir Starmer’s leadership project.
Geoghegan explains how the group functioned less like a traditional thinktank and more like a political campaign machine backed by significant undeclared funding. That money, he argues, was used to build the polling, messaging, and strategy that underpinned Starmer’s rise.

- Description
- As Labour grapples with falling poll ratings, the rise of Reform UK, and growing questions about its political identity, Labour MP Jonathan Hinder joins PoliticsJOE to discuss the future of the party, the influence of Blue Labour, and why so many traditional Labour voters have drifted away.
In this wide-ranging interview, Hinder argues that Labour has lost touch with many of the working-class communities it was founded to represent. He discusses why issues such as immigration, economic security, national identity, workplace democracy, and public ownership have become central to political debate, and why Labour must rebuild trust with voters who increasingly feel ignored by Westminster politics.
Hinder explains the principles of Blue Labour, the political tradition associated with Maurice Glasman that combines socialist economics with a focus on community, solidarity, parliamentary sovereignty and working-class representation. He argues that Labour's current le...

- Description
- PoliticsJOE heads to Makerfield to find out which issues are shaping the political fortunes of Andy Burnham, and thus, the UK.
This isn’t just another Northern contest. For Labour, a win likely means a leadership challenge for Number 10. But on the ground, the picture is far messier.
Voters talk about housing shortages, stretched public services, and a sense that their communities have changed faster than they can process. Immigration comes up again and again, but rarely in simple terms. Some residents see it as the root of pressure on housing and local services, while others push back, questioning whether perception matches reality in an area that remains overwhelmingly white.
Into that uncertainty step Reform and Restore, both vying for the same disillusioned voters. Their presence could split the right-wing vote, potentially handing Labour an advantage.
Is this by-election really about immigration? Or is immigration just the lang...

Andy Burnham is odds-on to take the seat despite strong early competition from Reform's Robert Kenyon.
But a slew of old posts seemed to have soured the taste of Reform's pick in the Makerfield mouth.
That, combined with a growing support for Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, seem to make Reform support split. We went to Makerfield to find out where the turquoise wave is.

- Jeremy Corbyn is no stranger to media and political pile-ons. Neither is Hasan Piker.
Hasan was due to grace the PolJOE dungeon with his presence, for a chat with the former leader of the Labour Party, but the UK government had other ideas.
Himself and his uncle, Cenk Uygur, had their e-visas revoked by the Home Office, who believed their arrival would not be "conducive to the public good." We decided to find out whether that was true or not by carrying on with the interview regardless.
Hasan and Corbyn joined Seán for a wide-ranging chat on where their philosophies blend, and where they differ. How the global drive for equality and emancipation continues to be undermined by the very states sworn to protect them, and where the left can learn to become a true force in mainstream and grassroots political movements alike.

- Description
- Josh Simons is a widely liked MP in his constituency of Makerfield.
Over the last few months, scandals in Westminster have put pressure on the once AI Minister to step aside. So much so, that he resigned his ministerial role earlier this year.
During his time heading up Labour Together, the pro-Starmer think tank contracted APCO Worldwide to collect information on prominent journalists such as Paul Holden and The Times' Gabriel Pogrund. Both of whom were accused of having ties to Russia, and having to fight smears coming from the heart of the Labour Together project.
As Westminster hit fever pitch over the future of the Prime Minister, Simons decided to step down from his Makerfield seat, which so happens to house the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham.
The move set tongues wagging across the country.
In a rare interview, Simons spoke to Ava the week before his constituency goes to the polls, and potentially chan...

- GB News presenter Beverley Turner became involved in a heated on-air argument with commentator Matthew Stadlen during coverage of the unrest in Belfast in June 2026. The clash centred on Turner's insistence that the violence should not be described as "riots", despite widespread reports of disorder, arson attacks, and clashes with police.
During the exchange, Turner argued that the situation was being exaggerated by the media, describing the events as "skirmishes" rather than riots. She claimed that there had not been widespread destruction and stated that "there was not a house that has been burnt down." Stadlen strongly disagreed, pointing out that homes had been set on fire and that families had been forced to flee. He challenged Turner repeatedly, arguing that the scenes clearly met the definition of a riot.
The argument became increasingly tense as Turner accused critics of inflating the scale of the violence, while Stadlen maintained that downplaying att...
