To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked  Germany’s ruling Social Democrats (SPD) are facing losses the party has not seen since the 19th century in this weekend’s federal elections, while the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) is set to double its vote share. Here, historian and journalist Katja Hoyer explains how a failing economy, out-of-control migration and intrusive Net Zero policies have led to mass disaffection with the mainstream parties. She also discusses the growing class divide, the rise and fall of ‘left-conservatism’, and why JD Vance’s warnings about free speech resonated with East Germans.  Celebrate 25 years of spiked.

For speaking out against Covid school closures, she was branded a heretic, smeared as a bigot, and Levi’s demanded her silence. Here, she gives her inside story of the great ‘awokening’ of corporate America, and explains why the cancel culture that forced her out may now finally be in retreat. Plus, she discusses her new venture, XX-XY Athletics, and its battle to keep men out of women’s sports.
