Episode 2252: The Richie Allen Show Tuesday June 23rd 2026

Richie is joined by Pete Gregson. Pete made national headlines in 2018 when he was expelled from the GMB union following disciplinary proceedings related to comments he made about Israel, Zionism and the Holocaust. The union concluded that some of his remarks breached its rules and brought the organisation into disrepute, while Pete argued that he was being punished for political criticism of Israel rather than for antisemitism. Today he remains an active pro-Palestinian campaigner, political commentator and writer. On today's show, Pete discusses his campaign to have Hamas de-proscribed, twin Gaza with the city of Edinburgh, his thoughts on the far-right, the future of the Labour movement and more.    www.tiny.cc/hamas https://hamascase.com/ https://www.onepalestine.land/

Episode 2251: The Richie Allen Show Monday June 22nd 2026

After discussing Keir Starmer's resignation, Richie is joined by the independent researcher and author David Whelan, whose latest book is Mind Games: The Assassination of John Lennon – Volume 2: New Investigations. For years, David has immersed himself in one of the most infamous murders of the twentieth century – the killing of John Lennon outside the Dakota Building in New York on 8 December 1980. While the official account concluded that Mark David Chapman acted alone, David believes there are still major unanswered questions surrounding the case. In this new volume, he examines witness testimony, police procedures, media reporting and historical documents, arguing that significant evidence has been overlooked and that aspects of the accepted narrative deserve fresh scrutiny. The book also revisits the backgrounds of key figures connected to the case and explores theories involving intelligence agencies, psychological manipulation and possible institutional cover-ups. https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Games-Assassination-John-Lennon/dp/B0H548DZMX https://x.com/LennonMurder

Episode 2250: The Richie Allen Show Wednesday June 17th 2026

Richie is joined by Dr Tamara Ali and Dr Rehiana Ali. UK doctors are being investigated, suspended and silenced – not for harming patients, but for speaking out against genocide and for engaging in lawful political speech. Healthcare Workers Against Censorship (HAC) plan to take the government and the General Medical Council (GMC) to the High Court to stop it. https://chuffed.org/project/180354-stop-the-gmc-dhsc-now-end-political-persecution-of-uk-doctors Dr Tamara Ali is a GP in Scotland who has become the focus of a high-profile legal dispute after she says she faced disciplinary action for displaying a small Palestinian flag and wearing a Palestine pin while working in an NHS setting. She argues that she was subjected to discrimination and censorship because of her support for the Palestinian cause and has launched legal proceedings challenging the actions taken against her. https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/palestine-flag-terrorism-an-nhs-case/ Joining her on today's show is consultant neurologist Dr Rehiana Ali, who was suspended by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service pending a General Medical Council investigation into her social media activity relating to Israel and Palestine. She has consistently maintained that her comments were protected political speech and has argued that she is being punished for exercising her right to freedom of expression. The interim suspension was later lifted by a tribunal. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/reforming-the-general-medical-council-legislative-framework
