About this episode

The episode discusses the Labour party's use of antisemitism accusations against the left in the context of local elections.

It’s 2019 all over again, as the media and a desperate Labour party weaponise antisemitism against the left once more. Plus: Organisers of anti-genocide marches hit back at Met Commissioner Mark Rowley over misinformation; and some people will say anything to make you believe all criticism of Israel is antisemitism. With Aaron Bastani & Michael Walker.
