This week Lowkey speaks to Matt Kennard, Head of Investigations for Declassified UK about freedom of the press in the UK and if mainstream media has been co-opted to serve the establishment. They discuss Sir Keir Starmer’s connections to the UK's secret services and his role in the prosecution of Julian Assange. Plus tax havens, Yemen and arms sales; is Britain really a force for good in the world?
