We live in times of ecological, political and economic crisis. Our age is one marked by austerity, the rise in racist authoritarianism and climate breakdown. Novara Media exists to secure socialism, freedom and justice in our lifetimes. We believe the media is both a tool by which to achieve our aims, and terrain that must be won.

Its such a shame that Labour lost the general election. This current Tory government are dreadful.
It's so satisfying to see two progressive Indian origin women discussing issues that matter for not only the UK but also the world 🙏
@AryanRatha 2 edgy 4 me
@AryanRatha think you're in the wrong place mate, we're all commies here. Fuck off.
@@3DSgeek okay mate thanks for letting me know.
The plot thickens, I'm going to destroy Britain.
@@3DSgeek Where did I say I lived as a communist? I support communism as an ideology and political aspiration, didn't say I fucking lived as one. What exactly are we trying to destroy? The values you consider British or the country itself? Or are you just scared of vegan sausage rolls and gender neutral toilets, which in your head obviously equals communism.
I think Ash is Bangladeshi friend! But yes, still very satisfying! :)
Labour today has so many great politicians it is frustrating that the whole focus is on Corbyn. One target to pour hatred into akin to the one ring in LOR which is why I do not like this leader stuff. A leader takes its members where the members want to go not where the leader demands. Corbyn is a leader guided by his members and yet we never point that out to a nation that has been sold on the concept that a leader is the king and his members surfs to be led.
Great interview, great people.
Yes you're right about that. I can think of quite a few Labour politicians that I really really admire, much more so than any other party (frankly I can't think of one Conservative) and actually that is probably what will make me choose a party.
Maybe it does a service to the other great folks out there that Corbyn draws the flak while they fly under the radar.
@@dwc1964 Not in the slightest - they've got their heads down and are fully immersed in the welfare of their communities and constituencies. Whilst the bickering and one upmanship and political wrangling for promotion goes on all around them, they are the soldiers and know what their job is.
@@hansiesma16 ah, I was kind of saying the same thing
@@ThePereubu1710 his press team could be better (but that's what differentiates Corbyn'sleadership from the new Labour spin days), but true red labour leadership have no friends in the right wing owned media so despite saying and doing things that would help to persuade people, they never get to see or hear it because of negative spin, misinformation and media silence in some cases by MSM
When she is relaxed Shami comes across as super inteligent. If only all political discourse could be in this dignified & charming ethos.
I hope Labour wins this election... 😢
@@importantjohn wtf is this neo-liberal shithead doing in the comments?😂
The only good communist is a dead communist. Get stuffed mongoloids.
Lol
@@adampowell5376 Never heard that before . She wasn't that dangerous , Labour got their arse kicked really, really hard .
How did it go for you???? Mmm? Perhaps? Maybe? Mmm?
I love Shami. She was a regular at a restaurant I used to work at in Westminster. She'd regularly stick her head in the kitchen to say hello and thank you. We always massively appreciated it.
@@no_genius Should mention this was right in the heart of Westminster and we had a lot of regulars that were politicians, including Nigel Farage. She was literally the only person that did this. She was in so often she had her own custom "Shami Salad" off the menu.
@@seanie002 Considering I'm Jewish your absolutely atrocious comment doesn't hold much weight.
@@seanie002 You have no idea how antisemitic what you've just said is, do you? Carry on reading the Daily Mail and enjoy your ban from TH-cam comments, you desperately sad person.
@@seanie002 Did you not get the love you needed as a child? Is this why you're acting out? I hope you get the help you clearly need.
@Nun Nunya Business Wrong. Tipped generously every time.
Shami is ageless. She is 50 years old!
@bye girl chill bro
Oh look it’s the first *human* female British Prime Minister
How?
Don't you just love hearing middle class university educated people trying to fix the world. Working class people aren't concerned with middle classes trying to fix the world. They just want their taxes and bills kept low.
@Alyssa Personally I don't have a problem with surveillance - I'm not planning to do anything illegal, and I don't really care if someone watches me do something embarrassing.
@Alyssa Only those ignorant of the law would plead ignorance as a defence.
And nor do I expect I will ever be the victim of government abuse, because I really don't see the government of the UK ever swinging to the extremes.
@Alyssa I think only people who are able to think objectively and critically realize it.
@Alyssa We agree to it through the terms and conditions.
@Nunya Bushness Yes I'm still okay with it. I'm pretty sure no employer is going to care about childish behavior when people were actual children. And we already do pre-employment checks on people's background, it's working fine.
Great conversation. Learning a lot from Ash and Novara, here across the pond.
that was great. loved her very considered response to the private schools quickfire too
@Ian Brown Shami sends her son to private school too,and?
It’s such a difference to Aussie private schools- where the federal government actually gives *more* money to those private schools than they do to our public state schools.
It’s an atrocious state of affairs. Scot’s College in Sydney has been the recipient of millions of taxpayer dollars, and with it they’ve decided to renovate their library to look like a Scottish castle.
Meanwhile our public schools are falling apart, almost all of them are using temporary trailer type buildings for classrooms, and most don’t have aircon- which would be like a northern hemisphere school having absolutely no heating.
And now our government is spending hundreds of millions increasing the chaplaincy program for public schools- working with church organisations to put religious chaplains into our secular state schools. That’s instead of spending the money on things our state schools actually need. And also- we have separation of church and state in our constitution, it’s just that our courts have interpreted it so narrowly that the government can get around it. We also have religious instruction in our supposedly secular state schools - and it’s just straight up Christian indoctrination.
Like I said, it’s an atrocious state of affairs.
i have a great deal of respect for shami, ever since i saw her heading liberty. she was a real bulldog for privacy and citizens rights in a sea of people who would trade it all away at a moments notice. ive always said being home secretary makes you crazy but i could imagine someone such as her handling it well. great guest & interview.
@@seanie002 I don't agree with her sending her kids to private school, I think they should be abolished. As far as the report goes. I don't think it was a white wash. anti-Semitism exists in labour and it's wrong, but it isn't systemic. I'm not the kind of person who disowns someone for making one choice about schooling if I agree with them in most other areas. It's pointlessly devisive.
@@seanie002 by that logic you couldn't judge it to be antisemitic because you lack credentials. Bizarre. Tbh I'm fine, you seem salty as hell
You just implied I'm complicit in the raise of a new Nazism....other then stating the obvious, I'm not. I'm done with this conversation
Good interview. Shami is clearly a very principled person. Keep the quality content coming.
Maggie Thatcher, the Milk Snatcher!
Margaret Thatcher, the saviour of our country from demonic socialist. To hell with communism and useless spending to bankrupt our country.
@@maydate86 I thought 2008 was due to the banks? And the austerity the spending to fix the banks? Now that's what bankrupt countries!
@@sirgaymeerkat1994 I know she stopped my milk and I am still furious with the tories
I have so much respect for these two women.
@Ian Brown "C***?" I'm not sure that your misogyny is the best way to demonstrate that you're not a racist. If i wasn't convinced of your racism I'm definitely convinced that you're a misogynist. And i really dont care whether you respect these women or not. You're literally irrelevant. If you have nothing nice or useful to say it's probably better to say nothing.
@@seanie002 I have no problem with people who believe in communism, since i understand what communism actually is. I'm betting you've never actually read Karl Marx, that you've only ever heard people talk about communism. As for hypocrisy I'm not sure what you're even on about.
@@marisaJ1 I would like to have a try at reading the book I have heard of that being
Das capital sorry if I misspelt it it is very difficult to have an opinion on something that I haven’t read it’s silly to try to talk about something that you haven’t experienced reading a book is an experience after all
@@marisaJ1 also sorry about the punctuation or lack thereof
Excellent video, we don't see enough of Shami.
Ih yes we do
Cheers
Brilliant interview. Thankyou. And congratulations on the court case result
Why was Shami not in front of the cameras more in the run up to the election, she appears to be able to think on her feet unlike the other shadow cabinet ministers that they had to stop being in front of the cameras like Burgon,Thornberry and Abbott. I am sure that Shami knew what the questions were prior to this interview and was a little scripted but the message flowed.
About market value...remember when public infrastructure and institutions were sold for pennies?
Shami's response to ash trying to leave politics to have babies was fab😂
when does this exchange take place please?
@@1ironmikeoc 12:45 is best place to start. It's a very "I'm having non of that, pet" dismissive head shake.
@Ian Brown is there any sex based pun you fail to find? :)
@@3DSgeek you seem like you've first hand experience of shit mothers?
You can't have very high conviction rates and also prosecute as many rape (or other criminal offences) cases as possible. If you want a 100% conviction rate, just prosecute three cases year where the rapist pleads guilty. Or teach the public that it's better to take as many cases to court as possible, but this will inevitably mean a lower conviction rate. Yet that lower conviction rate does not mean fewer rapists were found guilty, because you were prosecuting a lot more cases - and some victims would rather have their rapist walk free because there was reasonable doubt than be told that they couldn't take the case to trial at all.
This applies to other crimes, more cases should be put through court because justice is more important than the costs involved in putting a case through court.
One legend in her own right and another well on the path to becoming one (“I'm literally a communist, you idiot!" absolute classic), and both kickers-of-arse extraordinaire!
Ian Brown Does TH-cam give prizes for replying to every comment in a video?
Love how relaxed Shami is with Ash. Makes for a much better discussion. Thanks ladies.
Great interview!!❤
One of the best interviews I've ever watched!
Yes when 2 poor people meet. Communism and economic debt rings in my heart.
She's hardly going to oppose private schools when she sends her son to one :P
Great!
GOD WILLING INDEED!
Labour says it will be radical and transform system, how Exactly will you reform and shift power from London and South East to Real North, Wales, Scotland, North off Ireland
@Ian Brown You can find it on the Labour website - the real one, that ends in orgdot uk!
@Ian Brown Labour will transfer part of the treasury to Liverpool. meaning Northern England will finally get spending priorities.
By taxing London and the South-East to death and spending the money on the North and West?
She should not do interviews she really isn’t a great representation. She was on question time many times and was so meek and weak. The amount of times she used to get talked over and not get her point across. Interviews like this are ok but keep her away from debates
I agree with this. One of the problems with Labour is that there aren't many supporters of Corbyn. And those who do can't communicate very well. That's why people like Ash and Aaron are so important.
"Shadow" not "shallow" attorney general. Shami was very good destroying Evan (Dragon's Den) Davis the other day.
Two women talking a lot of sense.
Former most dangerous woman in Britain meets prettiest woman in Britain
Great interview.
I thought I was the most dangerous woman in Britain....
Fantastic guest! Thanks Ash & Novara Media :)
Shami and Ash sitting in a tree... SOOOO loving this ! TY
I thought I would watch a bit of Douglas Murray seeing as you guys brought him up (and he is in the video suggestions for literally every novara media video on TH-cam). I thought, y'know, interview with Julia Hartley-Brewer - how bad can it be? LOL - I only got 1 minute and 25 seconds in before I just had to stop. I mean A) He is not even half or a quarter of the emulation of Ralph Fiennes that I thought he would be, and B) Just start the video with a whole load of victim blaiming I guess.. ...Yeh but no.
Loved it! As usual...
Shami knows what's going on. Personally, I'd like to think I'll always keep the faith but it's one of those things where you can be right and wrong at the same time when division is being sowed. Would like to hear her speak about how human rights will protect against a convergence of psychology, big data and big platforms.
@Ian Brown I wouldn't put it that way myself, but do agree that access to education based on ability to pay is anathema to human rights.
Chakrabarti is against abolishing public schools because her son goes to one.
She has been sacked 😃
I really liked Chakrabati's descriptor that pundits treating politics like sport or drama "Who's up, who's down, who landed a blow... as if it's a boxing match". Mostly because it's a direct criticism of both Novara and Ash herself recently. On a cast coverigng the debate Ash made complaints mirroring exactly what Shami Chakrabati described.
Do better next time, Novara...
Politics as team sport is toxic. Personally I think political parties need to be phased out.
Elected representatives need to be able to represent their constituents without being shackled to a party identity. There needs to be more of an impetus to vote on each motion on its content, rather than whether it falls within particular party agenda.
@@tonedowne Who would come up with the motions then? How would you choose which motion to vote on if you had each MP going their own way every time parliament was in session? Corporate hegemony and its financial, corrupting influence in politics is a more tangible thing to fix than your more abstract concerns.
@@nicheman3612 It's not an either or.
Individual representatives can propose legislation on their own. There is no need for a party machine to do it.
Bong girls
You got rejected! LOL!
And quite soundly too! Mwuhahahahahaha 👻👻👻👻👽👽👽🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

O God is in the image off the 6 in Truth today, I would identify as 6'O thank you
Never heard of either of them 🤷♂️
A rare interesting interview
They are both lovely :)
Get priti petal in there now....I'd I promise I'll watch to the end. Rather then.10sec
Shami is an intellectual power house ! :) some great ideas
I hear a lot of commentators talking about her.
♥️
Funny that Ash is so quick to bring up mistakes people have made when she doesn't agree with them politically and ask the 'hard questions' but she notably avoids the state school conversation here when Shami infamously supported the abolition of private schools and at the same time sent her own son to a private school for £19k a year.
insyallah sisters!
