What's Left? With Jovan + Freddie

'What's Left?' is a progressive political podcast for the generation tasked with returning order to political chaos. With 'Left/Right' no longer a clear distinction for our politics, what does it really mean to be on the political 'left'? And given the enormous change we're living through, what is left of our values, institutions and political systems? Co-hosts Jovan Owusu-Nepaul and Freddie Feltham are ex-Labour Party staffers, who have scrapped with Nigel Farage and Andrew Tate between them. Through in-depth chats with friends and experts inside Westminster and beyond, we hope to reveal what's really at stake as civilisation crosses the AI Rubicon. This is a show for anyone fed up with the status quo; ready to listen, learn and do in pursuit of a better and fairer future. Oh - and we wanna have some fun with it too. Jovan + Freddie

  Independent Journalism Or Harassing Politicians? - Jack Roworth

  Jul 29, 20261h 13mS2

  JOIN US ON SUBSTACK: substack.com/@wtfisleft Early Access to Ad-Free Extended Interviews Ask our Guests Questions LIVEs with Jovan + Freddie WL Book Club + Community Discussion Articles + Exclusive Content **** This one is gonna set the cat amongst the pigeons. In the spirit of openness and fair hearings, we've decided to bring Jack Roworth on the show. Jack is a controversial online figure - a young man (the youngest to ever grace the stu at 19 years old) - who has been documenting his life on social media. From messy sesh content to dangerous japes abroad, Jack broadcasted his antics as he was spiralling down alcohol and cocaine addiction. He became a mainstay of the cursed TikTok algorithmic circus, feeding viewers viral drips often under the influence. He is not the first, nor will he be the last, of this zany and alarming content. Jack left school at 14, flunked his GCSEs and has since been raising himself amidst the hedonic pulls of adult society. For a period he was a NEET, (not in education, employment or training). But about a year ago, Jack decided to get sober. Concentrating his entrepreneurial spirit into journalism, he's now on a clip farming journey around Westminster and beyond. Jack's recent doorstepping of Reform's Richard Tice and Robert Jenrick, his local MP in Newark, has been the subject of criticism on the Right. The Telegraph's Camilla Tominey called Jack and other 'faux journalists' out for harassing politicians. Jack's defence is that he is asking questions in the public interest. With the context of the brutal murder of Ann Widdecombe, you can understand the heightened concerns around MPs safety. Widdecombe is the third MP to be murdered in a decade. Does this new style of independent journalism amount to genuine scrutiny? Or is it simply a new vehicle for virality, used to intimidate those in public office to push a certain agenda? Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:09 Ann Widdecombe and Political Violence 07:07 Journalism or Harassment? 16:13 Ethics of Platforming Jack 19:53 Public Interest Journalist 26:30 Growing Up and Going Viral 31:45 Jack's Education and Community 38:04 Jack's Cocaine + Alcohol Addiction 45:51 How Did Jack Become Political? 50:15 Planning Jack's Career 55:50 Friends Who Went Down the Wrong Path 1:02:01 Do Reform Understand the White Working Class 1:05:10 Jack's Next Steps

  Burnham's Plan to Beat Farage - TUC Chief Paul Nowak

  Jul 21, 20261h 30mS2

  JOIN US ON SUBSTACK: substack.com/@wtfisleft WE NEED YOUR (FINANCIAL) SUPPORT TO KEEP GOING! **** Babe wake up, new PM just dropped! Since we launched this podcast, politics has been lurching from crisis to crisis. Yet again, Britain has a new leader. Our 5th in 4 years, our 7th in a decade. It can’t go on like this, surely?! This week we have a special episode with Paul Nowak, the General Secretary of the Trade Union Congress, the national umbrella organisation for trade unions in England and Wales, representing nearly 6 million workers. Founded in the 19th century, The TUC has a storied history. Agitating for greater rights and protections for workers, Trade Unions have guaranteed the weekend, sick pay and holidays. As the relation between capital and labour is rewritten by new tech, we forget our Union heritage at our own peril. Collective bargaining has been at the core of progressive change. Without it, we are at the mercy of vested interests. For many historians, Margaret Thatcher won a decisive victory over agitating Unions. Union memberships drop from over 50% to 22% today. But now, memberships are rising again as workers realise the threat ahead. Oligarchy has returned. Tech is taking jobs. And democracy itself appears to be on the line. Chapters 00:00 Intro 02:00 Union Members For Farage 06:05 Burnham’s Change Agenda 11:01 Getting Britain Building Again 17:36 Can Burnham Take On Vested Interests? 23:42 Employment Rights vs. Farage’s Crypto Interests 29:05 Populist Right Hypocrisy 36:30 Ending Neoliberalism 42:03 Fixing the Unproductive State 48:52 Can the Union Movement be Reactionary? 53:37 Left-Wing Talent Pipeline 59:54 Trades vs. Universities 1:05:34 Reindustrialising Britain 1:13:16 Lifelong Educational Reform 1:20:20 Can The State Afford Radicalism? 1:25:10 Youth Unemployment and Mental Health

  Debating ‘DeGrowth’ Green Economics - Michael Mezz

  Jul 7, 20261h 29mS2

  JOIN US ON SUBSTACK: substack.com/@wtfisleft Early Access to Ad-Free Extended Interviews Ask our Guests Questions LIVEs with Jovan + Freddie WL Book Club + Community Discussion Articles + Exclusive Content **** Another heatwave just dropped so we’re here with our first in-depth convo on the climate crisis, joined by one of the world’s biggest eco-influencers, Michael Mezz. After studying economics at Stanford, Michael decided to hold onto his soul and become an activist to prevent ecological collapse. Remember folks, the magic circle law firm / big 3 consultancy isn't the only way. In this episode we explore the major shift in green politics: away from classic environmentalism and towards a social media friendly left-populist economics. In particular, we discuss the decline in the ‘green growth’ agenda and the rise of the ‘degrowth’ or ‘post-growth’ political economy, pushed by thinkers like Jason Hickel (who has featured on Michael's podcast). What would reality look like if we exited the perennial treadmill of infinite growth? If such a future is possible how can it happen? Our objections to degrowth models centre on the global top-down application of such economic theories. Is a wholesale rewiring of the global economy a fantasy untethered from the hard realities of geopolitical competition? We also examine challenges around the Jevons Paradox (that energy efficiency creates greater throughput rather than reducing emissions), whether China is making a moral or expedient green transition and why green economists can’t escape the attraction of modern monetary theory. The question the left has to answer in the face of radical global uncertainty and multipolar competition over energy, security and tech, is who benefits from our system? A world of automation beckons under a canopy of ecological collapse and mass suffering. The old world has certainly died and a new world struggling to be born. Let's hope it's not on Mars. Chapters 00:00 Intro 04:14 Polanski and Eco-Populism 11:20 Zarah Sultana Hypocrisy 12:11 Internationalism vs. Nationalism 17:42 Has ‘Green Growth’ Failed? 26:02 Why Eco-Socialists Want ‘De-Growth’ 30:55 Does De-Growth Make Sense? 40:44 China’s Electrodollar vs. US Petrodollar 49:50 The Challenge of Declining Living Standards 57:20 Global Anti-Imperialism 1:00:54 Debating Modern Monetary Theory 1:05:22 Wealth Taxes and Democratic Capitalism 1:17:45 Is Populism De Facto Bad?
