Aftermaths: Foreign Policy and the Battle for the Soul of the British Left - With Oz Katerji
With opinion poll leads indicating that Labour under the leadership of Keir Starmer is on a path to winning the next UK elections, the period in which the party and its leadership was at war with itself seems a distant memory. Yet the deep divisions that opened up inside Labour when it was led by Jeremy Corbyn until 2019 still echo in debates within the British Left today. To explore these divisions within the British Left and how they affected debates over foreign policy we have been joined by Oz Katerji, a journalist and activist who has witnessed these controversies firsthand. As an experienced journalist and writer, over the past decade Oz Katerji has covered conflicts on the ground from Syria to Ukraine. He has also been an active participant in the fraught debates surrounding the future of the British Left. With this extensive personal experience, Oz Katerji can help explore the internal conflicts that nearly split the Labour Party.The background music is by Through the City by Crowander, and the production for this podcast was by Daniel Mansfield.
