Why this lifelong Conservative turned on the British establishment | Peter Oborne

“[Starmer] never once condemned Israeli war crimes.”

Peter Oborne spent decades at the heart of the British establishment.

The award-winning journalist and author of ‘Complicit’ sits down with Mohamed Hashem on Real Talk to break down how the Iraq war set the template for Gaza, and why there is a direct path between the two.

Oborne also calls out Keir Starmer for not condemning Israeli war crimes, and what it means that Margaret Thatcher was more willing to stand up to Israel than the UK’s current prime minister.

He also opens up on why he walked away from mainstream British media, and never looked back.
