Summary
It's fair to say Claire Fox and I disagree on a lot - she's a former Brexit Party MEP, and last time I checked, I'm not - so we had a chat about the whole Brexit palaver, about free speech and what it actually is, and her political journey from revolutionary Trotskyism. It's spiky stuff!

| 0:00.0 | Hello hello, this is Owen Jones, welcome to the podcast. Today Claire Foxx, I promise you |
| 0:12.5 | I would be discussing and debating with people who I very strongly disagree with. And the |
| 0:17.9 | former Brexit party, MEP Claire Foxx is certainly one of those. She went from, I'd say idiosyncratic |
| 0:24.4 | Trotskist to someone who was profoundly involved with Nigel Farage's political movement. And we |
| 0:31.8 | talk about a lot, we talk about Brexit, we talk about her Trotskism, her political journey. We have |
| 0:37.4 | a little tear, tear mouth, free speech. We talk about Boris Johnson, Kistama, Labour Tories. We |
| 0:44.6 | talk about a huge amount, we disagree. That's how this works. If you want to support us on this |

| 1:29.1 | I am very honoured to have Claire Foxx me. Hello Claire. Hello. I just want to apologise for my |
| 1:36.5 | absolutely shocking hairstyle, which is increasingly leading to a flat, |
| 1:42.0 | from flattering comparisons with the Prime Minister. Your hair looks great. |
| 1:47.3 | Yes, so the point is the secret is I cut it myself. It's called DIY, |
| 1:52.6 | in desperation. The hairdressers of the nation went to prove, but in desperation, |
| 2:00.4 | I cut it, I don't know why they just cut it. I was going to say actually because it's |
| 2:03.6 | very good haircut and I think we should just arrest people on the spot with suspiciously good |
| 2:08.0 | haircuts. I don't think man is good haircut at all. It's just that it's not as unmanageable as it |
