DiEM25

Yanis Varoufakis and Conservative MP Ken Clarke join Andrew Neil, along with Camilla Tominey from the Telegraph and Labour’s Rupa Huq. They discuss whether Labour is ready to govern, Jeremy Corbyn’s Brexit meeting with the EU’s Michel Barnier and the Salisbury poisoning suspect reported to be a Russian military officer.

The European Parliament elections will be a major battleground that the neofascist forces of the emergent Nationalist International (Salvini, Kurz, Orban, AfD, CSU, parts of the CDU, and of course figures like Donald Trump and Steve Bannon) will contest enthusiastically. DiEM25 and our EUROPEAN SPRING are determined to confront them on the basis of a radical europeanist agenda, building a Progressive Transnational/International Movement.

PART 1 – WHY SOCIALISM?

• Interviewer: You are meeting with Jeremy Corbyn to discuss socialism. Why?
• Varoufakis: Because democracy needs a healthy democratic socialist movement to be part of the political process in order to be healthy

PART 2 – REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL

PART 3 – DEMOCRATS MUST GET TOGETHER ACROSS PARTY POLITICAL AND NATIONAL BORDERLINES

PART 4 – THE SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE DILEMMA
 

Is there a Deep State in our western liberal democracies? If so, is it a conspiracy or something more ‘interesting’ than that? These are questions that the Left has been traditionally engaged with, especially when facing undercover campaigns to prevent progressives from winning power or, on occasion, to unseat or destabilise left-wing governments. However, more recently, the Alt-Right has begun waging a war of words against the Deep State, with Donald Trump and his supporters doing so most boisterously.
