Summary

After sabotaging Jeremy Corbyn, centrists from Britain's Labour Party are looking for a new leader without principled anti-war views. Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton continue with activist Joshua Y. Jackson, discussing how Corbyn was viciously smeared because of his committed anti-imperialism and support for Palestinian rights. We also talk about the massive media propaganda campaign, and the prospects of an independent Scotland and united Ireland.
