NOVARA MEDIA: YT VID.
  This is their explanation of how they're funded and what makes them an important alternative to the mainstream media.
THE INTERESTING TIMES on how the RMT leader directly confronted government spokespersons as liars.
POLITICS JOE also on how Mick Lynch "made fools of" ministers and journalists. This channel has a successful click baity style, often repackaging similar content under catchy titles. In this case they've another video which specifically piggybacks BBC2s late night highbrow Newsnight, TV news for grown up ABC1s if you like.
M.J. NICHOLLS also highlights Lynch v the media.
ChunkyMark uses strong language frequently, and is explicitly anti-Tory. Here he highlights press bias and Lynch's analysis.
Some wider examples on other current stories.
BIG MAJ STUDIOS on Liz Truss & Protocol.
YouTube pushes further content at you that your engagement history suggests you might watch, this earning them revenue from the ads you'll endure. I watched one right-wing channel's video on ex-footballer Matt Le Tissier who has become popular on the (far?) right for his rejection of political correctness and soon saw lots more being pushed on my feed. A simple insight on how many people disappear down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theorists and white supremacists, caught in an endless echo chamber constantly reinforcing such views.
If you're watching such videos as study/research remember you can easily control that feed by tapping the 3 dots and using those options 

I'll look up some of the "mainstream media" clips and coverage too, but here's one of the raw sources used by many alternative and mainstream media, the weekly PMQs in which the rail strike issue was prominent, as shown on the official UK Parliament channel but also live streamed by many others like The Guardian and then edited by the likes of themselves and we media like Politics Joe.

There are we media channels and categories way beyond politics of course. An example - this guy documents his tracking and trapping of local people who stole his stuff. An interesting example of 'reverse sponsorship ' in this - he trashes a popular item.
