Jeremy Corbyn’s surprise election as UK Labour leader in 2015 ignites a vicious internal war within the Party. The left flank has the people but the right flank has the power. The Labour Files, a massive leak of internal documents, reveal how Corbyn’s opponents within the party manoeuvered to disable him as the Labour leader – abandoning democracy in the process.

In the 2017 general election, Jeremy Corbyn shocks everyone after falling just a few thousand votes short of becoming Prime Minister. The Labour Files, a massive leak of internal party documents, reveal how panic over Corbyn’s success unites his opponents. Meanwhile, a new scandal is brewing that will ultimately lead to his downfall.

A scandal over antisemitism in the UK Labour Party engulfs the final months of Jeremy Corbyn’s time as leader.  But, as The Labour Files show, the facts don’t match the public narrative that sets in following a brutal, internal conflict and the broadcast of a controversial BBC documentary.

The factional war is over. Sir Keir Starmer is the new Leader. The Labour left is scattered and shattered.  But the party leadership is in no mood to reconcile.  The Labour Files show an unprecedented effort to purge the party of Jeremy Corbyn supporters and make sure what happened in 2015 can never happen again.

‘The Truth Illusion’ explores one of the most profound questions that philosophers through the ages have tried to answer. What can we prove to be the truth?

Four women delivered separate complaints to Glasgow University about the behaviour of the same lecturer.  Their experiences were strikingly similar but the University found the only person to have done anything wrong, wasn’t the accused, but the accuser. *Please note some listeners may find these accounts upsetting.

The PhD student at Glasgow University was charismatic and charming and part of his appeal was his tragic past. But his relationships with several women became abusive and controlling.  As our investigation dug deeper into his history in his home country, we uncovered his lies and the real story of his murdered wife. *Please note some listeners may find these accounts upsetting.

More incredible revelations about how a PhD student at Glasgow University lied about his dead wife and falsely accused innocent people of killing her.  Question is, why has it taken almost four years for Glasgow University to investigate multiple complaints about him? *Please note some listeners may find these accounts upsetting.
