A couple of my personal recommendations:

Subscribe to Progressive podcast. There are many great episodes not just including a great one by Tariq Ali.

Read Mark Curtis, especially his book The Web of Deceit: Britain’s Real Role in the World - about British Foreign Policy and just how different our government behaves to how the people expect and believe them too. Reveals a new picture of the reality of Britain’s role in the world.
