Quiet RiotHow dark money is taking our politics backwardsAlex Andreou and special guest, investigative journalist Peter Geoghegan, discuss how dark money is "Americanising" our political debate in areas like women's reproductive health - and how Reform UK represents an opportunity for those who wish to subvert our democracy further.

Democracy for Sale PodcastBritain’s Far Right is going mainstreamSomething dark is happening on the British right.Racist language and ideas once considered beyond the pale are becoming increasingly mainstream.In recent weeks, former Tory and UKIP MP Douglas Carswell has called for the “mass deportation of Pakistanis from Britain,” while self-styled academic Matthew Goodwin has revived the old “can Rishi Sunak be English?” trope.Conservative shadow chancellor Mel Stride, meanwhile, said welfare should be restricted to UK citizens because “British citizenship should mean something.”Racism in British politics is nothing new.

Scot Independence PodcastFor A' That 36 - What Does It MeanFor the 36th episode of For A' That, Andrew and I were joined by James Maxwell and Peter Geoghegan.
First topic up was the by-election in Dunfermalino. Predictable result given the circumstances or should we be reading more into it? Why don't the Greens do better?
The next topic was Grangemouth and this broadened into a larger discussion about nationalisation.
Finally, we got onto the definitions that are being used about what is happening in Scotland. Separation? Independence? Constitutional Change? Which of these, if any, really sums up what is going on?
Hope you enjoy...
