Hello and welcome to another edition of my podcast, The Roundup.

This podcast is for all those busy people who struggle to keep on top of all the articles they want to read. Each week, I read you all my Substack content from the previous week in one quick episode - so you can catch up while driving, walking the dog, or cleaning your house!


The Cost of Living Revolt

Eighteen years of stagnation built the far right’s base. The cost of living crisis will put them in power.

Britain has its own ICE - and these airlines are helping it fly

Titan, TUI, Air France, Corendon and AlbaStar are profiting from Labour’s brutal deportation regime. We’ve grounded these flights before. We can do it again.

Take action to stop cruel and racist ‘one in, one out’ deportations.

Eight Weeks to Record Profits

Trump’s war on Iran isn’t bringing famine to America - it’s bringing hunger to global South, stagnation to the global North, and a huge windfall to big oil.


That’s it from me this week! I hope you’re enjoying the podcast - and please make sure to share it on socials if you are :)

Oh, and if you’d prefer to listen to the podcast on your usual streaming app, I can give you a free membership to Patreon. I upload the podcast there too and it automatically syncs with various streaming apps. Just DM me if you want access!

See you next week,

Grace
