The Lib Dem's no-deal Brexit bungle; repression in Turkey; NGO ships saving lives, and football's twitter racism problem

In episode 7 of Podaganda journalists Ben Cowles and Steve Sweeney are joined by their Morning Star colleagues Kadeem Simmonds and Lamit Sabin to discuss:

 

The Lib Dems helping Alexander "Boris" de Pfeffel Johnson’s no-deal Brexit  (2:36) Turkey’s President Erdogan’s latest brutal crackdown on the HDP (19:45) Why did an NGO migrant rescue ship captain turn down the Medal of the City of Paris? (35:34) And Twitter’s abysmal handling of racist abused aimed at black footballers (45:51)

 

Brace yourself for profoundly left-wing views and plenty of bad language
