Hasan Piker: “Not Conducive to the Public Good”?
6/11/20261 hr 4 min
This week, as the far-right continues to fan the flames of violence and division, Coco and Nish are joined by Hasan Piker: Twitch streamer, influencer, and left-wing political commentator who was recently blocked from entering the UK. They dig into what makes him “not conducive to the public good”, and why it’s important to speak the truth–however that comes across.
They also talk about political allegiances, the future of progressive politics, and the worrying rise of far-right MAGA movements across the world. Does a Labour government have the answer?

[upbeat music] Now, we've got a fantastic conversation with Hasan, uh, coming up momentarily that we actually recorded, uh, yesterday, on Tuesday, uh, in a different studio, uh, because it was a different recording day. So I just wanted to contextualize that's why Coco and I are not wearing the same clothes. [laughs] And we're in a completely different room. I just think that that's important to flag up.
