Male rapists in women’s prisons. Kids given experimental, sterilising drugs. Gay boys and girls told they’re born in the wrong body and in need of medical correction. Here, Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, talks to spiked about the damage the trans movement is doing to society. She explains how it became taboo to tell the truth about biological sex. And how this is giving licence to rampant misogyny and homophobia, threatening hard-won rights.
Inaya Folarin Iman, Tom Slater and Fraser Myers discuss the crimes of Huw Edwards, the trans activist in a rape-crisis centre, the arrest of Bernadette Spofforth and the Hezbollah pagers.

An historic 175 Tories lost their seats at the last General Election. Jacob Rees-Mogg was one of them. Here, the former cabinet minister talks to spiked about why voters turned their backs on the Conservatives, and what he fears a Labour government will mean for Britain. Rees-Mogg slams Keir Starmer’s two-tier policing of riots and disorder and his zealous pursuit of Net Zero. The new PM is set to make Britain poorer, colder and less free, he argues.
Tom Slater and Fraser Myers discuss the rise of the AfD and Brazil’s ban on X. Plus, Jake Wallis Simons joins from Israel to discuss Labour’s appeasement of Hamas.

This is the audio from a video interview we just published on our YouTube channel, with author Rob Henderson. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
Defund the police. Abolish the family. Repent for your white privilege. The elites have been gripped by some strange ideas in recent years. But they are worse than naive or fanciful. While these opinions confer status on the rich people who spout them, they come at a high cost for the less fortunate. Best-selling author Rob Henderson has a term for this, ‘luxury beliefs’. Here, he talks to Fraser Myers about how his own troubled start in life opened his eyes to the delusions of the upper class.
Jacob Reynolds, Tom Slater and Fraser Myers discuss the emptiness of the Democrats, Britain’s broken borders and the crusade against ‘racist’ buildings.

This is the audio from a video interview we just published on our YouTube channel, with historian and broadcaster David Starkey. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
What does Keir Starmer actually want? The UK’s new Labour prime minister is usually described as moderate, pragmatic and non-ideological. Here, historian and broadcaster David Starkey argues that this is an illusion. Starmer, Starkey explains, is a fierce anti-democrat. He wants to transfer power from the UK’s elected parliament to unelected bodies, from the courts to the civil service to the quangos. His party will establish the supremacy of the ‘Blob’, all while cracking down hard on free speech. Our democracy and liberty are in peril.
Paul Embery, Ella Whelan and Fraser Myers discuss another wild week in American politics, the riots in Leeds and Dublin, and the BBC’s obsession with drag queens.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump brought American society to the brink. What now?

I love the propaganda advert for the French energy company raking in the cash thanks to the British people's subsidy paid towards the profiteering French state. The ironies abound. Hilarious !
even the ad is propaganda. Hearings have established. there was no planned insurrection or even any insurrection whatsoever yet they keep saying it
I may stop listening if they regularly include interviews in this podcast. Why did they think that people who tune in to hear a few people chatting about a number of topics would want to hear such a long, dry talk on the local elections? The one highlight of this was where the speaker jumped in and corrected Fraser when he followed the MSM line of Labour doing well in London. This was very telling, another example of Spiked's political bias stopping them from looking at the facts.
Abortion is murder! And Ireland are murderers
Why do they say “from Spiked’s perspective”? Does everyone at Spiked have the same view on everything?
Oddly apologist, apeasing episode. After days of the most horrendous brutality unleashed by Russian troops onto Ukrainian civilians, I'm amazed Spiked spend the majority of the episode criticizing the Western response to the crisis. We are at economic war with Russia, in responses to current Russian refusal to stop killing civilians and withdraw Russian troops from sovereign Ukraine. Spiked here is making the critical error of conflating the public decision to not purchase Russian goods, to decline being involved with Russians - as hatred or a phobia. No, the majority of the public are better than you give us credit for: we wish to support Ukraine rather than Russia. The public decided to take a side. By contrast these three presenters seen to be much more comfortable sitting on the fence.
still unsure how whistling Bob the builder is racist.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Hearing from different people and I felt a deeper, more meaningful discussion. I'd like to hear more episodes like this.
Law enforcement officers are resigning in all Democrat states, it's only going to get worse, places like Chicago and Minnesota better ask Hollywood for the blueprints to build ED-209s just to prevent self destruction
She mentions the "Irish border" referring to that between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. That's a fictional border the British created during the partition of Ireland. The Irish border is the sea. Also, the US is a signator of the Good Friday Agreement so it's legally and morally obliged to protect. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the British government who are prepared to rip it up to protect Brexit. They talk about the integrity and unity of the UK and not separating off a region of it yet they clearly need to educate themselves on their history of partitioning other countries. Scotland doesn't even want to stay and Northern Ireland will eventually unify with the rest of Ireland.
why are you ignoring the evidence just released?
great episode and insights as usual. thanks!
It's important to ask what has Trump done in office to get these many votes especially from Black and Latino people. Trump managed to reduce prison sentence for thousands and had given a number of tax cuts and given communities a number of funds. But the question is whether this balances out with Trump's inflammatory response to the race riots.
.m .
Sir Desmond Swayne articulate the point some people feel about the coronavirus response form the government. shame alot of his fellow party members sat in parliament looking sheepish and uneasy as he spoke.
The Democrat Convention, was just one big Trump Derangement Syndrome group therapy session. Kim Klacik will make a difference regards to the Baltimore shithole and highlight that California is also a shithole.
Of course it's China's fault for this damn virus
Why does the UK education system demonize it's countries own history and culture, without colonization civilization wouldn't spread anywhere, besides BLM are self confessed Marxists people who hate western civilization and Christianity
The Transgender paradox is over complicating everything, and transgender children is child abuse.
We need to move away from individual experiences of racism and start looking at the facts. Stephen Lawrence report in 1999 mentions racism among young people and it needs to be addresses at school as young as pre-school. The government NHS workforce, race equality standard report 2019, mentions white applications are 1.46 times more likely to get employed, while the likelihood of a white colleague getting professional development training compared to BME is 1.15. The percentage of BME are over representative in very low bands (pay scale) but are significantly under-represented at pay scales above 5 (around £25k). What does this information actually mean and what is to be done, as well as how to teach young children about racism/equality should be the debate.
