News Roundtable: Climate Protests, ‘Fake’ Fox News, and NHS Strikes

In this week's 'News Roundtable' episode, host Chris Wright is joined by journalist and author of Fake History Otto English, Labour NEC member Jess Barnard, journalist and broadcaster Reem Ibrahim, and political commentator Lee Harris.This week kicks off with a fascinating debate on the climate crisis brought to our attention by recent and ongoing protests by animal rights and climate activist groups Animal Rising and Just Stop Oil, while Extinction Rebellion is planning a mass protest during the London Marathon this weekend. With a panel split on whether the activists are advancing or damaging their cause by protesting at major sports events, this is a must-listen exchange of views! In fact, Chris Wright CBE and our fantastic panel offer a highly thought-provoking episode throughout. The other topics discussed in depth are the Fox News $787 million ‘fake news’ fine and the NHS nurse’s strikes. The panel shares their thoughts on Rishi Sunak's troubles over his wife’s shares in a government-boosted childcare firm and whether his super-richness will be an ongoing problem for him. We’d love to hear your thoughts on the episode on Twitter!'I Hit The Nail Right On The Head' by Billy Bremner. © Fridens liljor/Micke Finell.Rock around the clock productions AB.www.rockaroundtheclock.coCreated & produced by Podcast Partners: www.podcastpartners.comSign up to receive updates by email when a new episode drops at www.wrightonthenail.FM'I Hit The Nail Right On The Head' by Billy Bremner. © Fridens liljor/Micke Finell.Rock around the clock productions AB.www.rockaroundtheclock.co This episode was produced by Sound SapienSoundsapien.com
