Tune in: Mon 29th Sep 2025 (between 3pm & 6pm)
After a twisted campaign to brand the left of the party antisemitic, Keir Starmer set about expelling more Jewish members than every other Labour leader combined.
Labour has stopped publishing numbers for its dwindling membership. Could the few remaining socialists be considering new alliances?
This subject will be covered, back to back, in three separate 30 minute items:
1. Liverpool Riverside – Setting the record straight!
In 2019, BBC Panorama broadcast John Ware’s “Is Labour Antisemitic.” In it, a Labour Party legal and governance officer, Ben Westerman made an allegation that was exposed as untrue when audio tapes of the interviews were subsequently released to Canary journalist, Joshua Funnell. No mainstream outlet ever covered the scandal.
We are joined by Jewish activists and former Labour Party members, Helen Marks and Rica Bird to talk about their experiences before and after the Panorama claims.

2. The Fraud, Labour’s ‘crimes’ and the right kind of Jew!
Amongst our guests will be Paul Holden, author of The Fraud due for release September 2025, who will be sharing revelations from his book, The Fraud, published this month, Sep 2025.
We will also be joined by Martin Abrams, Stephen Kapos and Jenny Manson, Jewish Labour Party members who were treated with contempt by the Labour Party.
Presenter: John Graham-Davies
Guests:
Jenny Manson (Co-chair, Jewish Voice for Labour)
Martin Abrams (Councillor & former Labour Party Member)
Stephen Kapos (Activist & Holocaust Survivor)

3. Colonel Chris Romberg – “I oppose Genocide..”
Chris Romberg, 75, is a retired army colonel who served with distinction in 29 Commando Regiment, mentioned in dispatches for his service during Operation Sutton in the Falklands – and a descendant of Holocaust survivors who escaped from Austria during the Nazis’ annexation.
In August 2025, he was one of more than 500 people arrested by the Metropolitan Police under orders deriving from Home Secretary Yvette Cooper’s decision to ‘proscribe’ – ban as a terrorist organisation – the civil disobedience group Palestine Action.
Chris will be joining us in the studio to talk about his reasons for resigning from Labour in 2020 and for joining the protesters in Parliament Square who held placards reading, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
