Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we explore the intricate relationship between the Israel-Iran conflict and its broader implications for global geopolitics, migration patterns, and the UK's political landscape. Ndukwe and Cheta look at the historical context of the conflict, the interconnectedness of international relations, and the impact of migration crises on local communities. We emphasise the need for political leaders to address the root causes of these issues rather than merely responding to their symptoms.
