    #77 I Joined Reform and Left the Tories | Why I Finally Walked Away - Chris Rose

    Chris Rose explains why he’s left the Conservative Party and joined Reform UK — and what this moment says about the future of British politics. In this episode, Chris breaks down the identity crisis facing the Tories, the growing disconnect between Conservative leadership and voters, and why Reform is increasingly seen as a serious political alternative. We discuss social media’s role in shaping modern politics, high-profile defections like Robert Jenrick, and why clear principles, energy, and authenticity matter more than ever.With voters abandoning tribal loyalty and demanding real representation, this conversation gets to the heart of why the UK’s political landscape is shifting — and what comes next.👇 Let us know in the comments: Is Reform the future of the right in Britain?Chapters00:00 Chris Rose's Political Shift03:07 The Conservative Party's Identity Crisis06:00 Social Media and Political Engagement12:55 The Energy Gap in Politics20:17 Impact of Defections on Conservative Dynamics31:18 The Shift in Political Loyalty34:11 Concerns Over Party Integrity38:25 The Need for a Purge41:44 The Search for Viable Alternatives47:10 Engagement with Reform Party51:10 The Charisma Factor in Politics55:24 Cross-Party Appeal of Reform01:00:34 Future of Political Landscape01:01:11 Unpopular Opinions in PoliticsHashtags:#ChrisRose #ReformUK #ConservativeParty #UKPolitics #BritishPolitics #RightWingPolitics #Tories #PoliticalRealignment #nigelfarage #UKConservatives #FreeSpeech #PoliticalCommentary #CultureWar #ReformParty #UKDebate

    #70 The Antidepressant Lie: What Psychiatry Got Wrong About Depression - Joanna Moncrieff

    https://joannamoncrieff.com/ Psychiatrist Joanna Moncrieff discusses her critical perspective on the use of psychiatric drugs, particularly antidepressants. She highlights the lack of solid evidence supporting the serotonin hypothesis as a cause of depression and critiques the pharmaceutical industry's role in shaping public perception of mental health. Moncrieff emphasizes the need for a more nuanced understanding of depression that goes beyond medication, advocating for addressing underlying social and personal issues. The discussion also touches on the normalization of antidepressant use in society, the challenges of prescribing practices, and the complexities of withdrawing from these medications. Moncrieff calls for a shift in how mental health care is delivered and the importance of informed patient choices.
