'We're Moderates in a World of Extremism'

In this first episode of 'Two Outspoken,’ political commentator, author, and activist Owen Jones and Mehdi Hasan share the story of how they met over a decade ago on television, and recall those who compared them to a left-wing Batman and Robin (you can probably guess who is who). Owen explains why he has recently quit the UK’s Labour Party, while Mehdi compares current Labour leader Keir Starmer to Tony Blair and both of them discuss the mainstream media's multiple moral failures when it comes to coverage of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
