Show Notes
After rounding up the day's top stories, Richie is joined by Pete Gregson. Pete made national headlines in 2018 when he was expelled from the GMB union following disciplinary proceedings related to comments he made about Israel. The union concluded that some of his remarks breached its rules and brought the organisation into disrepute, while Pete argued that he was being punished for political criticism of Israel rather than for antisemitism.
Today he remains an active pro-Palestinian campaigner, political commentator and writer. He's written a terrific article where he contends that Palestinians are substantially descended from the ancient inhabitants of Palestine, rather than primarily from later Arab migrants.
Many of those ancestors, he argues, would once have been Hebrews/Jews, subsequently converting to Christianity and later Islam. Therefore he contends that modern Palestinians may have considerable ancestral continuity with the biblical populations of the region. Do not miss this show

Richie is joined once again by Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, a British-Palestinian doctor who trained as a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon in the NHS.
For the past week, Clodagh De Róiste has been protesting peacefully outside the offices of Meath County Council in Ireland. Clodagh is disabled and is effectively homeless. When she cannot find a sofa to sleep on, she has to sleep in a tent. Before her health deteriorated, Clodagh ran marathons and was very active in her community. Amazingly, she has been waiting for an affordable home for twenty-five years. Why do local authority's prioritise the needs of migrants above the urgent needs of women like Clodagh? She's not bitter and does not blame or "other" the migrants. But the fact remains. She is forced to sleep rough while - in some cases - undocumented, able-bodied young men are placed in houses or apartments ahead of her. Clodagh shares her important story with Richie.
