By now, you may have heard… Zeteo is coming to Britain to disrupt its broken mainstream media! Mehdi went live on Substack to introduce Shehab Khan, our new political editor at Zeteo UK.
Shehab walked away from one of the UK’s top broadcasters, ITV, to join us at Zeteo UK. It was quite a risk, Mehdi suggests in this fascinating conversation, but Shehab disagrees:
“We have gone through a period of chaos, of change, in a way the United Kingdom has not experienced. Six prime ministers since 2016, psychodrama in Westminster… And what we haven’t had, I think, is proper independent journalism assessing it – holding truth to power, not being influenced by billionaires, not being influenced by corporate interests.”
Watch the full video above to hear Mehdi and Shehab - both dressed weirdly alike! - field viewer questions about what’s in store for Zeteo UK, dissect Britain’s “political shit show,” discuss the role of Gaza in the Labour Party’s decline, and trade predictions – starting with who could be the next prime minister.
“It is a case of, ‘Oh, U.S. politics, that’s crazy!’ and then UK politics is like, ‘Hold my beer, we’re crazier,’” Mehdi says.
