Last week at EartH Hackney, Dalia Gebrial sat down with Hannah Spencer, the new MP for Gorton and Denton, and Faiza Shaheen, the director of Tax Justice UK, to talk about Hannah's landslide victory, her first few weeks in Parliament, and what a wealth tax would actually look like. What approach did Faiza and Hannah take with Reform voters when out canvassing together? What lessons must progressives learn from past failures? And what are the conspiracy theories swirling around about Hannah online? This conversation was part of an evening hosted by Planet B Productions and Novara Media, marking the launch of our new podcast series Death in Westminster.

Rania Khalek reports from Beirut, where Israel is pursuing an open campaign of ethnic cleansing. She explains Israel’s systematic destruction of Lebanese infrastructure and its chilling "Gaza model" for the South. Rania also discusses her recent one-on-one interview with Piers Morgan, where she refused to play the "condemnation game" and highlighted the staggering hypocrisy of labeling Lebanese resistance as "terrorists" as they resist Israeli invaders. #breakthroughnews

Nearly one month into the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression on Iran, what is the reality on the ground inside Tehran? Iranian-American academic and host of The Colony Archive Navid Zarinnal gives a firsthand account of life under daily bombings, the sound of Iranian air defenses, and the surprising degree of normalcy amid the strikes. From the psychological impact of daily air defenses to the strategic failure of Western "regime change" narratives, Zarinnal also explains why Iran’s defensive capabilities and national unity may lead to a devastating quagmire for the Trump administration. #breakthroughnews

The US-Israeli war on Iran is transforming the geopolitical order, and could even unleash a global economic crisis. The conflict has caused the largest oil shock in history, disrupting markets and driving up fuel and food prices. To better understand the implications for the world, Geopolitical Economy Report editor Ben Norton interviewed economist Michael Hudson, who discussed how Iran is challenging US dollar dominance and undermining Washington’s control over the global oil industry, which has been a key pillar of the USA's foreign policy.

Rapper and activist Vic Mensa joins hosts Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear to discuss his journey to Cuba with the Nuestra América convoy — a mission to defy the U.S. blockade and deliver critical aid to the island. As the U.S.-engineered humanitarian crisis deepens, Donald Trump is tightening the decades-long blockade and imposing a fuel embargo that is driving blackouts, crippling hospitals, and choking off vital energy supplies. Mensa recalls what he saw in Cuba, calling U.S. policy "crushing … a crime against humanity." #breakthroughnews
