The Green Party of England and Wales now has four MPs in Parliament, and even more impressively has doubled its vote share to 7%, coming second in 39 other seats. So what happens now? How will the Greens exercise their new agency in government, and how can they navigate a biased media landscape and increase their influence?

Aaron is joined by Carla Denyer, co-leader of the Green Party and MP for Bristol Central, to talk about the challenges ahead.

Downstream: Can The Green Party Keep Winning? w/ Carla Denyer

Political scientists agree that we are now living in a "multipolar" world, with power contested by multiple states and blocs. But how we arrived at this formation, and whether the newly powerful actors on the global stage are inherently problematic, remain areas of disagreement.  Someone with has a distinct perspective on this new world order is Anne Applebaum, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Autocracy, Inc: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World.  Anne sat down with Aaron to discuss Putin’s rise to power, the problem of misinformation, and how Israel fits into the network of autocratic states who share little but a desire to consolidate each other’s power.

When the Taliban retook all of Afghanistan in 2021, it came as a shock to much of the west. The day after the last American soldier left, journalist and filmmaker Ibrahim Nash’at flew into Kabul to spend a year filming with the Taliban's senior military leadership. What he found was a regime drunk on power, in control of far more territory, and with better weaponry than ever – courtesy of the Americans, who left it all behind.

Ibrahim joins Ash to talk about the making of his documentary Hollywoodgate, currently available to watch in the UK on BBC iPlayer as part of the Storyville series.

The Institute of Economic Affairs is one of the most powerful and secretive think tanks in the UK, known for promoting free-market Thatcherism as a solution to all of our economic woes. Who's behind it?

This week, Kristian Niemietz, a director at the IEA and a long-time Novara Media hater, sits down with Aaron for a debate about trickle-down economics, why he's a neoliberal, and who really funds his employer.

And who funds Novara Media? That's easier to answer: you. Help us build people-powered media: https://novara.media/support

Downstream: Who's Behind the Institute of Economic Affairs? w/ Kristian Niemietz

Donald Trump is the next president. Meta, Walmart and McDonald’s have forsaken their diversity policies. Elon Musk has demanded that Keir Starmer be removed as PM. Why is this all happening at the same time? And why do progressives have so little to offer when it comes to the economy and people’s material conditions?

Brett Christophers is a geographer, author and former management consultant. According to him, it's the commitment of parties like Labour and the U.S. Democrats to the prevailing economic orthodoxy that means they will continue to struggle.
