- In a clip from today's podcast, Ava and Andy take to the PolJOE sofa to unpack last week's political chaos, from Wes Streeting's sustained meddling to Mayor Burnham's prospects in the upcoming Makerfield by-election.
The pair unpack the strategic dilemmas facing Labour, from internal tensions to campaign positioning, and whether Burnham represents a genuine shift or more of the same.
With the Greens confirming they’ll stand a candidate, will the left vote be split, and could that inadvertently hand victory to Reform UK? Figures like Caroline Lucas have already warned against prioritising party politics over the bigger picture.

- Norman Finkelstein is the foremost scholar on the politics of Palestine and Israel since the foundation of the Israeli state.
He took time out of his busy schedule to speak to us about the deepening crisis in free speech across the globe, that has stemmed from public opposition to Western complicity in the genocide in Gaza.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Professor Finkelstein breaks down a lifetime of work on the Israel-Palestine conflict. He also spells out the ever-complex shifts in the American and global right, and how these shifts make for a dark future, as allegiances fray in the American podcast space when it comes to support for Israel.
Finkelstein details the underlying antisemitism in society and how it is deepened by the crackdown on freedom of expression. Finally, Professor Finkelstein lifts the lid on his first steps in the world of academic research, and how his humble beginnings informed his passion and drive for the truth in ever...

- Last summer, the Bell Hotel in Epping became the epicentre of Britain's immigration debate.
Thousands of people protested outside the hotel, which the Government uses to house asylum seekers, following the arrest of one of its residents.
Reform UK MPs supported the protesters, even after violence broke out.
As the number of protests swelled, Farage vowed "mass deportations" of illegal immigrants if his party wins the next general election.
And, in the days before this month’s local elections, the party announced a new policy: closing asylum hotels and opening detention centres in constituencies with Green MPs.
On May 7, 2 in 5 voters in Epping cast their ballot for Reform and the party gained 11 seats on the District Council - while Reform won control of the upper-tier Essex County Council.
Over the following weekend, the St Georges Cross and Union Jack re-appeared on lampposts.

This supercut sees the trio of MPs reflect on Starmer’s leadership trajectory and the shift away from the Left, the local elections in England and in Scotland, as well as Labour's current unpopularity.
The three also dive into the potential roles of Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham, two figures tipped as future leadership contenders. Will Streeting mount a serious bid, or "bottle it", as Lavery suggests? And would Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham return to Westminster politics? If so, how?

After a disastrous showing in the local elections, questions over Keir Starmer's leadership of his party - and the country - have only intensified. Particularly from within his own ranks, the Prime Minister has been battling against backbenchers eager to share their fury with the running of the party.
Clive Lewis has long been a critic of Keir Starmer, calling last year for Andy Burnham to take his Norwich seat in order to contest a leadership election. Today he joins Ava to break down where his party goes from here.

UK prosecutors said this could amount to an offence under the UK Terrorism Act because Hezbollah is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK. Prosecutors also alleged slogans supporting Hezbollah and Hamas were shouted during the performance.
The case was initially thrown out because prosecutors failed to get the Attorney General’s approval within the legal six-month time limit required to bring the charge. The Crown Prosec...

With his presidency already weakening relations between Britain and the US and uniting European nations, events like the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz raise further questions about our dependency on the global oil markets, as well as fossil fuels altogether.

In this interview, Edward tells us how an artificial intelligence revolution could transform Britain, what's been holding it back so far, and about alternatives to widely unpopular and resource-hungry data centres.

- Is the housing crisis about to get worse?
Labour’s Renters’ Rights Act has come into effect. It bans Section 21 no-fault evictions and bidding wars on prospective rentals. Tenants are no longer tied into fixed-term contracts and can challenge their rent increase if it’s above market rate.
Many welcome it as a win for renters, but others claim it may only deepen the housing crisis.
And, ahead of local elections, both Labour and the Green Party are fighting for voters over the issue.
The Greens are expected to win historically safe Labour seats in urban areas, like Hackney, where the average rent for a one bed flat is £1,954. They’re promising things like rent controls - which Labour’s Housing Secretary Steve Reed has definitely ruled out.
Meanwhile Labour are hoping to claw back votes from the Green by lambasting their previous record on housing.

Met Commissioner Mark Rowley publicly called out Polanski, which raised questions around similar incidents involving politicians that were of other political persuasions but not named.
The trio also react to Polanski's appearance on Sky with Trevor Phillips, in which Polanski's lived experience as a Jewish man is seemingly dismissed. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's response is also challenged, particularly in light of his calls for pro-Palestine protests to be limited. Seán, Laura, and Andy question the framing of protests, and how narratives around anti-Semitism, policing, and protest movements are being shaped and by who.

Sorcha pulls no punches as she explains her frustrations with decisions coming from Westminster, arguing that too many ordinary voters are being left behind. She reflects on the growing disconnect between political leadership and everyday life, and why she feels her constituents deserve far better.
The conversation also turns to the culture inside Parliament itself. Sorcha shares her exhaustion with what she describes as “gentlemen’s club” politics—an outdated, exclusionary environment that still shapes how decisions are made and who gets heard. She discusses the barriers this creates, particularly for women and those outside the traditional political mould, and why meaningful change has been so slow.

A magazine at the time wrote that David Amess was "representative of new Essex man, working class, father electrician, right wing, keen hanger, noisily rambunctious, no subtlety," wrote a magazine at the time.
But, the Conservative grip on Essex appears to be slipping. In 2024, a Labour MP won this seat for the first time since its inception.
And, today, Nigel Farage has his eyes set on winning over Essex - and polling suggests his party, Reform UK, will sweep the region at upcoming local elections.
