Join Imran Akram and Talib Man for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Identity Politics’ and ‘Cyber Attacks and Defence ’ Cyber Attacks and Defence The world is facing a surge in cyberattacks, with consequences reaching far beyond the screen. But these digital assaults don’t stop at infrastructure — they can also target the way we think and vote. Disinformation campaigns, deepfakes, and covert online manipulation are increasingly being used to influence elections and undermine trust in democracy. Join us as we explore what can be done in defence against these waves of digital warfare. Identity Politics Since when did politics become fixated on who you are, what your rights are, whether you belong? Why is our media awash with anti-migrant rhetoric when it is government policies that are to blame for our cost of living crisis? These are some of the issues we would like to address as we look into whether the far-right has stolen a march on our mainstream politicians. Join us as we go on to consider how addressing wealth inequality may save our traditional centre-left parties. Guests : Tom El-Shawk - Innovation and Centre Manager at Future Space, Bristol Nick Jones - a journalist and author monitoring the ethics of the press Dr Hannah Bunting - Senior Lecturer in Quantitative British Politics, University of Exeter Producers: Nabeela Shah and Aalia Mazhar and Aafia Mazhar
