Hello and welcome to another episode of Interregnum with Richard Seymour.

I spoke to Richard about the resignation of Liz Truss and the ongoing civil war within the Conservative Party.

We also talked about why Richard characterises the Conservatives as a middle-class protest party

and finally we discussed whether or not Labor's impressive poll leads

of vindication of the strategy of Labour leader Kirste Starma.

Today's episode is brought to you by PTO supporters on Patreon and also by Verso Books,

who have lots of great left-wing titles that may be of interest to PTO listeners.

One that you might like to check out is Radius, A Story of Feminist Revolution, by Yas El-Refay. In 2012, the joyful hopes of the

democratic Egyptian revolution were tempered by revelations of mass sexual assault in Tere Square in

Cairo. Radius by Yasmin El-Rifay tells the story of the women and men who formed

Apentish, Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment,

who deployed hundreds of volunteers, scout rescue teams and getaway drivers

to intervene in the spiraling cases of sexual violence

against women protesters in the square.

Drawn from years of interviews and the author's own intimate experience,

it is a story of women's resistance when all else had failed. Radius, a story of feminist revolution by

Yasmin El Riefay, is out on the 18th of October from Verso Books and is part of the Verso

Book Club October reading.

And now to today's interview.

interneesign warfare, things change quickly.

Both Richard and myself are feeling rather less confident than we were when we spoke
