He joined Aaron to discuss his most recent book, Raise Your Soul: A Personal History of Resistance, a memoir about the women in Yanis’ family who raised him and instilled in him a political conscience. Is patriarchy harmful to the perpetrators, as well as women? Did Tony Blair do more to privatise Britain than Margaret Thatcher? Does Keir Starmer have a plan? And how does fascism end up destroying not just those it deems to be its enemies, but the motherland as well?
