Israel's Racist Death Penalty, Patrice Lumumba & GB News - w/ Banseka Kayembe

About this episode

Carys Afoko and guest Banseka Kayembe discuss Israel's death penalty laws, the trial of Patrice Lumumba, and the impartiality of GB News.

Joining Carys this week is Banseka Kayembe. Banseka is the Founder and Director of Naked Politics, a media platform aimed specifically at young people. Together Carys and Banseka discuss the racialised law in Israel that sees a death penalty applied to palestinian prisoners, Reform UK's fired housing spokesperson, a trial over the killing of Patrice Lumumba, and GB News' ongoing lack of impartiality.
