The UK has banned Cenk and Hasan Uygur of The Young Turks, which they cast as proof that mainstream parties in the US and UK are shielding Israel from criticism.

• The pair say they were barred from the UK for attacking Israel's war in Gaza and its actions in the West Bank.
• They accuse Britain's Labour Party under Keir Starmer of purging its left wing and cozying up to Israeli leaders.
• They argue the Democratic Party is a weak coalition captured by pro-Israel interests rather than a real party.
• Their fix: push insurgent, Bernie-style candidates into Democratic primaries and back the UK Green Party under Zack Polanski.

Outlook: They plan to keep challenging both parties from the left and aim to reshape the Democrats by the 2028 election.
