Welcome to episode 14 of the Sceptic! On the show this week, host Laurie Wastell speaks to the following guests:

Ava, a 19 year-old charity volunteer from Liverpool, who tells the shocking story of how she was visited at her home by counterterror police – despite them telling her she hadn’t committed a crime – then questioned over her political views and warned to “bite her tongue” before posting online.

Daniel Hannan, journalist, Conservative Peer and former MEP, on why we are failing to learn the lessons from lockdown, Labour’s plans to abolish hereditary peers and his take on the Conservative leadership contest.

And for our premium subscribers, Laurie speaks to evangelical journalist Julian Mann, on how Christians are being persecuted around the world – and how the woke Western media is turning a blind eye.
