With Jovan + Freddie","episode_count":34,"summary":"'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.

Latest WL? dispatch comes from McGill University's conference on big tech's threat to democracy. We’ve stitched together four interviews with leading thinkers on whether the AI bubble will burst and how to confront mass manipulation in the digital age. The first half is a deep cut with Miles Taylor, the author of the explosive NYT ‘anonymous’ op-ed, which revealed the chaos inside the first Trump administration. A vociferous critic of Trump and MAGA, Taylor is now experiencing the regime’s nefarious tactics to quell dissent. Currently under investigation by the deep state, Miles is convinced the US has slid into techno-authoritarianism. We discuss: - Dissent = treason for Trump, a crime punishable by death - Threat of Martial Law under the Insurrection Act - Stephen Miller’s “shock and awe blitz” of Executive Orders - Taylor’s fears for the safety of his family - Trump using tech & AI to silence critics - Why Taylor believes the rule of law is dead in America - Mass mobilisation = chance to save American democracy - The Real Matrix: war of pro-tech vs anti-tech humans The second half of the episode explores the big questions around free speech, big tech accountablity, and European competition with political heavyweights: - Sasha Havlicek, CEO of Institute for Strategic Dialogue, on owning our data and how algorithms profit from polarisation - Imran Ahmed, CEO of Centre for Countering Digital Hate, explains how the free speech argument distracts from the perverse incentives of the digital attention economy. - Alexandra Geese, 🇩🇪 Green MEP, on whether Europe can compete with big tech America and find some backbone to enforce good regulation. It’s striking how age-defining these issue are and how lit…","meta_description":"Miles Taylor, the Trump whistleblower, is now an enemy of the state.
