  • #142 – Andrew Gold – The Incentives Driving Radicalisation on Both Sides
    Jan 28 2026

    Andrew Gold joins me to discuss how incentives are driving extremism, distrust, and cultural breakdown in the UK.

    From YouTube algorithms and purity spirals to immigration, economics, feminism, AI, and debt, we explore why honest debate is collapsing and why every political movement now frames itself as an existential last stand.

  • #141 – Khaled Hassan – The Silent Coup: How The Muslim Brotherhood Captured The UK
    Jan 22 2026

    Peter sits down with Khaled Hassan to discuss immigration, extremism, and why Britain's institutions have become incapable of enforcing boundaries or even discuss them honestly.

    From counter-terrorism failures to media self-censorship, we examine how fear of controversy has replaced decision-making and why suppressing uncomfortable conversations doesn't reduce risk, but pushes it into darker, more dangerous directions.

    This is a conversation about red lines, state authority, and what happens when a country refuses to define either.

  • #140 – Ben Habib – The British Right Has a Leadership Problem
    Jan 20 2026

    In this episode, I'm joined by Ben Habib for a conversation about Reform, Nigel Farage and where British politics is heading.

    Ben argues that Reform is far more fragile than most people realise. That it lacks a clear political philosophy, is driven by personality rather than principle, and could fail badly if it ever reaches power. His fear isn't just that Reform collapses, it's that its failure would discredit the wider pro-British cause for a generation.

    We discuss Farage's leadership, ambition, and record, the danger of movements built around individuals rather than ideas, and why simply breaking the two-party system isn't enough if what replaces it isn't serious, coherent, and capable of governing.
