Alex Gordon, President of the Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport workers (RMT) and a national officer of the Stop the War Coalition, joins Ileana Chan and Fiona Edwards for Episode 8 of the No Cold War Britain Podcast.

In this episode we discuss the escalating global war drive being led by the US and the destabilising role of expanding military blocs - NATO and AUKUS.

At a time of rising military budgets and savage austerity in the Global North we discussed the importance of building links between the movements against austerity and war in Britain. We also discuss what internationalists in Britain can learn from the incredible rise of China and the Global South today.

The No Cold War Britain Podcast aims to bring you in-depth monthly discussion on the key issue of our time – building the movement to stop the U.S. new cold war offensive and Britain’s role in this major threat to world peace and prosperity.
