Sir Jonathon Porritt is one of the UK’s most prominent and respected environmentalists. His career spans 50 years, and in that time he’s gone from grassroots activism to advising governments and royalty; he’s led international charities and the Green Party. In 2021, he was awarded CBE for his services to environmental protection. Now in his 70s, he’s returned to his campaigning roots, co-authoring a book with 26 young Just Stop Oil activists. ‘Love Anger and Betrayal’ takes us into the lives of these activists as they carry out civil disobedience to end the UK government's reliance on fossil fuels. A fierce defender of direct action himself, Porritt was arrested last year for holding up a placard which read ‘ I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action’. Now in this extensive interview for ‘Sangita Meets…’ Sangita asks Porritt about the attack on free speech in the UK, what it means for the world if China becomes the global leader in renewables, and why capitalism needs reforming if we want to save the planet.

Zeteo UK is about to launch a new video podcast series, ‘Sangita Meets…’, hosted by award-winning journalist Sangita Myska. The inaugural episode features an exclusive interview with TV personality and actress Nadia Sawalha as its first guest. This is Sawalha’s first independent media interview since she launched legal action against one of the UK’s top broadcasters, ITV, the network which took her off the air as a founding panelist on the popular daytime talk show “Loose Women” after she began speaking publicly in support of Palestine. ”Why is everybody bloody whispering about an atrocity, an absolute atrocity that we can watch live?” Sawalha tells Myska. Similarly, Myska was removed from her role at LBC after challenging an Israel government spokesman in a live interview over the genocide in Gaza. The two speak candidly about the backlash they’ve received for criticizing Israel, jeopardising their careers to stand against injustice. But this is just the first episode of ‘Sangita Meets…’. Each episode will bring you unfiltered, wide-ranging interviews with cultural and political figures, and conversations that take you beyond the soundbite, freely and without bias. So what are you waiting for? Subscribe to Zeteo UK to be the first to watch ‘Sangita Meets…’ and receive hard-hitting, fearless journalism, direct to your inbox.
