James Kennedy interviews anti-corruption expert Dr. Susan Hawley about government corruption and corporate lobbying in the UK. They discuss local spending failures, political gifts, money laundering, and practical solutions like lobbying transparency and holding MPs to account to protect democracy.

‍ George Monbiot joins James Kennedy to discuss his book The Invisible Doctrine, calling for a "politics of belonging" over the harms of capitalism. He argues for community empowerment, participatory democracy, and "private sufficiency, public luxury" to tackle social and ecological crises. Monbiot draws on historical movements to highlight how local collective action inspires hope for lasting change.
