In her writings and commentary, Sarkar has expressed anti-imperialist, feminist, anti-fascist, and libertarian communist views.
She has taken part in anti-racist, anti-fascist and anti-Trump protests and joined a hunger strike to protest against the detention of asylum seekers at Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre.
She supported the Stansted 15's actions against deportation flights.
After a clip of her telling Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain that she was "literally a communist!"
went viral, Sarkar clarified her views as libertarian communist, a "long termist" who supports Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn's anti-austerity policies.

Sarkar's writing and broadcasting makes liberal use of humour and London slang, and she has written that politics "should be joyful and exuberant."

Although she only became a Labour Party member during the UK General Election campaign in late 2019, Sarkar (and Novara Media more generally) has become closely associated in media commentary with Jeremy Corbyn's democratic socialist project: The Times has described her as "Britain's loudest Corbynista".

In November 2017, responded positively to calls by a speaker at a World Transformed festival to "make the left hate again", pointing to Philip May, husband of the then-Prime Minister, as a legitimate target.
Sarkar declared: "I'm on Team Hate".

In January 2018, Sarkar suggested to Conservative MP Andrew Rosindell that the British national anthem be changed to a "grime banger" such as "Wearing My Rolex".

In September 2018, Sarkar defended anti-Zionist activist Ewa Jasiewicz, who had spraypainted "Free Gaza and Palestine" onto a wall of the Warsaw Ghetto.
