🎙️ Can a socialist magazine survive multi-millionaire ownership? Should planning a protest land you in jail?
This week, we cover two stories: The takeover of Tribune, Britain’s oldest democratic socialist magazine, by the multi-millionaire founder of Islam Channel, and the jailing of four Just Stop Oil activists before they could even glue themselves to the Airport runway. We're talking ownership, repression, agency, and how we keep each other safe in a landscape that increasingly punishes those who dissent and co-opts those who resist.
