Michael Brooks hosts today’s show and speaks with Ronan Burtenshaw (@ronanburtenshaw), editor of Tribune Magazine, about next week’s elections in the United Kingdom. Will Corbyn’s rise in the polls and revelations of Tories offer to sell off the NHS lead to Labour victories?

Fred Hampton on the importance of revolutionary education. Fred Hampton: “We’re gonna fight racism with solidarity.”

Ronan Burtenshaw (@ronanburtenshaw), editor of Tribune Magazine, joins us to talk about next week’s elections in the United Kingdom. Labour has realigned and is now led by lifelong socialists. How Boris Johnson exemplifies “mask off” Tories. The Lib Dems’ utter buffoonery. The UK media’s all out campaign against Corbyn. What’s with all the accusations of anti-Semitism? Eric Hobsbawm, Ed Miliband, and the Jewish left tradition. The possibility that Corbyn’s Labour could activate new voters with its frightfully good manifesto.

On the fun half: Dave Rubin says Jordan Peterson helped him find religion. Lula dances in Brazil. Jeremy Corbyn on his vocation of public service. Hillary begrudges Bernie waiting to endorse her in 2016. Trump gets embarrassed on world stage in Biden campaign ad. Biden goes off on man at town hall for questioning him about his son’s Burisma job. Trump says he’s assessed the house intel report through Fox News anchors and Alan Dershowitz. Gregg Jarrett suggests someone else could have called Rudy Giuliani from Devin Nunes’ phone. Plus, your calls and IMs!
