    Gerry Adams on Andy Burnham, the far-right, and the breakup of the UK

    Gerry Adams is one of the most significant political figures on these islands of the last fifty years, and he has taken time out of his busy schedule to speak to PoliticsJOE. In a conversation just days before the coronation of Andy Burnham and days after the burning of nationalist effigies on bonfires across his hometown, Adams speaks to us about the necessary next steps for Burnham's government, how to quell the rise of the far-right, and how to prepare for the end of the union with Britain.

    Nigel Farage's resignation stunt backfires | PMQs reaction

    With Keir Starmer away on NATO duty it's Deputies Day at PMQs, but Ava and Seán are still here to unpack the drama. Nigel Farage's resignation stunt has lost some momentum after all the major parties announced they wouldn't be standing a candidate in Farage's 'People v Establishment' by-election, meaning the Reform leader will spend his summer battling Count Binface for the seat. At the despatch box, David Lammy and James Cleverly clash over prison records and jury reform. Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.

    I exposed Nigel Farage's criminal benefactor | Sunday Times Investigation

    Ava is joined by Venetia Menzies of Insight, the investigations team at The Sunday Times.

Menzies breaks down the story and the investigation leading up to it. Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.

    Why We Need to Abolish Politicians | Hélène Landemore interview

    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 Vest movement in France, the Democratic Party's handling of Kamala Harris after Joe Biden stepped aside, the legitimacy of replacing prime ministers without a general election, and how public frustration has fuelled anti-establishment movements across the Western world. She also explains how citizens' assemblies have already been used to tackle some of society's most difficult questions, including abortion rights, marriage equality and climate policy, and why she believes these experiments could point towards the future of democracy. As public confidence in politics continues to decline, this conversation asks a provocative question: do we need fewer politicians—and more ordinary people making political decisions? Whether you agree or disagree, this is one of the most thought-provoking conversations you'll hear about democracy, political reform and the future of representative government.
