Mehdi Hasan DESTROYS Suella Braverman - And So Much More

Mehdi Hasan is second to none when it comes to debating, and so his new book - Win Every Argument - is a must read. Here, he talks to me about why the left can be so bad at convincing people of its arguments; he tears Tory racism to pieces; points out the outrageous hypocrisy of the BBC over Gary Lineker - and warns that US democracy may yet succumb to fascism.

I watch his Sunday show on MSNBC, here in the USA, and think he’s one of the very best 👏🏻👏🏻

[wtf]

Corbyn, the best labour PM we were never allowed!

[DAVJULART]

"The hypocrisy is as brazen as it is nauseating!". I couldn't agree more!

“It’s easier to kick down than to kick up” - Mehdi is 100% spot on about this.

"Kick down and kiss up" is the perfect summary of the Tory ethos

Mehdi and Owen. What an absolute treat! Really enjoyable chat gents.

[Msnando]

Agree with Owen. You really are needed here!

I have a relative who spent years on zero hours contracts, lost loads of jobs during that time, votes Tory because he hates ethnic minority and immigrants and not the people who kept him on zero hours contracts. Concluded that his hate overrides everything else.

Problem is Braverman thinks she is white British.... she hasn't looked in the mirror lately,

[jenifernaidoo]

Thoughtful and considerate people are hard to find these days... Thank you gentlemen

[helenswan]

"Like taking a calculator to a knife fight". excellent metaphor. Fantastic interview thanks

As a British Indian I totally agree with Medhi about racism amongst ethnic minorities. There is plenty of racism amongst 'us lot' not only towards others minorities and foreigners but also towards white people.

[oystercatcher]

Wise words. I’m struck by the absurdity of Braverman simultaneously being proud of Britain welcoming refugees in the past but completely scrapping those policies. It’s absurd!

[brendawilliams]

I've much enjoyed Medhi's visit, a sad loss to U.K. journalism.

[taquiarazvi]

Great journalist. Very authentic. well prepared and thoughtfully organized.

Being a Kenyan Asian, i can say no Asian was driven out of Kenya, If Suella Braverman claims this it is totally false. Asians were kicked out of Uganda. Bravermans parents would be economic migrants.

26 mins of brilliance! I do watch Mehdi's American show regularly, so you having him on it! Thank you Owen 👏🏽

[lorrainewest]

The weather may be bleak, but the conversation is brilliant, illuminating, exciting and encourages hope.

[paulconnelly]

Two awesome journalists. Integrity and common sense. This is up there with Owen interviewing Peter Hitchens.
