    Wonderful to hear Mr Ibrahim on the podcast. He’s a bold and articulate truth teller.

  • Great overall, but Furedi needs to seek help for his “TDS”

    Were it not for the fact that I’ve enjoyed so many of your other programmes, I’d be very tempted to leave an unfavourable rating for subjecting your loyal audience to 45 minutes of Frank Furedi. The man is a crank who lets his own political preferences completely colour any “analysis.” In a similar vein, little more can be said for Spectator confrère

    Rod Liddle, whose slovenly everyman schtick is as tired as his ersatz acumen.

    There’s plenty of Trump hysteria to be found elsewhere. Do you reall... more

  • Blind to His Own Bigotry

    O’Neill is a “useful idiot,” ostensibly opposed to the Islamists & the totalitarians, but parroting their talking points about the evils of the West.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Labour’s plot to control what you see online | Toby Young
Q: Do you think Britain would benefit from a free speech bill or a bill of rights?
Yes, there is support for a robust free speech framework that strengthens protections beyond what Article 10 (ECHR) offers, potentially modeled after the U.S. First Amendment, to better safeguard expression as public discourse evolves online and in courts.
Labour’s plot to control what you see online | Toby Young
Q: What is prominence policing and why is it a concern?
Prominence policing refers to the idea that social platforms would give greater visibility to content from trusted public service media. The guests argue this could skew feeds toward regime-favored sources, embed political biases, and reduce content diversity, especially for creators outside that approved set.
Why Trump is trapped in Iran | Josh Hammer
Q: How real is the risk of a divergence between America's war aims and Israel's goals?
Hammer describes some friction, noting Israel may push for stronger actions than the U.S. appears ready to authorize, but emphasizes overall deference to the U.S. leadership in a shared strategic framework.
Why Trump is trapped in Iran | Josh Hammer
Q: Is this a regime-change war, or has the administration framed the conflict differently?
Hammer states he has not called for regime change and suggests the administration's rhetoric lacks a stable, publicly shared objective, which undermines credibility and public support.
Why Trump is trapped in Iran | Josh Hammer
Q: What do you think explains the confusion in terms of the messaging coming out of the White House?
Hammer argues the administration never clearly defined its end goals, leading to mixed messaging and strategic inconsistency that benefits hardliners in Iran and creates public doubt about U.S. aims.
