    #146 - Izabella Kaminska - The Soviet Collapse of Britain

    Is Britain in the midst of a Soviet style collapse? In this episode, I speak to journalist Isabella Kaminski about why today's Britain is starting to resemble the final years of the Soviet system. She describes what collapse feels like before it's obvious: fake economics, hollowed-out institutions, collapsing trust, and a population slowly realising that the systems meant to protect them no longer function. We also discuss how inflation, debt, housing policy, bureaucratic expansion, and political incentives work, and why many voters now feel elections don't change direction, only the speed at which things deteriorate. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Collapse Parallels 00:05:09 – Poland's Divergence 00:13:08 – Parallel Realities 00:20:07 – Middle Class Liquidation 00:25:00 – Fake Economies 00:32:11 – Safetyism Trap 00:39:14 – Power Above Politics 00:53:03 – Inflation Life Squeeze 01:12:34 – Industrial Realignment 01:32:51 – Signs of Collapse - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH IZABELLA KAMINSKA › X/Twitter – https://x.com/izakaminska SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    #145 - Montgomery Toms - The British Charlie Kirk

    Is the British State actively at war with the next generation?  In this episode I talk to Montgomery Toms, a 20-year-old rising conservative voice,  who argues that the social contract with the youth has been broken. Monty explains the "institutional rot" within our education system, detailing how he was "strong-armed" out of university for refusing to wear a mandatory pronoun badge on his first day. We discuss deep on the "psychological warfare" of lockdowns , the indoctrination of "victim culture" in schools , and the reality of two-tier policing that targets political dissidents.  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – The Attack 00:03:22 – Lockdowns and "Radicalization"  00:05:00 – Building a Youth Platform  00:06:55 – Debt Steals the Future  00:14:35 – Online Bans and Digital ID  00:25:28 – Inflation and the Wealth Gap  00:42:31 – The State Incentives Problem  00:44:36 – The Campus Incident  00:54:10 – "You Caused This" Policing Logic  01:10:00 – University Rules and Coercion  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH MONTGOMERY TOMS › X/Twitter – https://x.com/MontgomeryToms › Website – https://www.montgomerytoms.com/ › Go Fund Me – https://gofund.me/c348faad4 SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    #144 - Rupert Lowe - Is the Government Organised Crime?

    Is the British Government incompetent, or is it a criminal enterprise? I am joined by sitting MP Rupert Lowe as he asks the ultimate question: "Is the state in the hands of organized crime?" From the billions missing in procurement contracts to the "sticky fingers" of the political class, Rupert argues that the British state has become the active enemy of its own people, and that the UK is sleepwalking into an Enron-style bankruptcy. We also discuss the "institutional rot" destroying the nation, including the cover-up of the grooming gangs, the "Weimar" economics of money printing, and the deliberate destruction of the middle class. Rupert opens up about his split from Reform UK, the betrayal of the electorate by the "Uniparty," and why we only have until 2029 to save the country from total collapse. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – State Vs Electorate 00:01:11 – Incompetence Or Intent 00:03:45 – Brexit Overridden 00:08:19 – Unit Party Exposed 00:12:06 – Chaos Before Change 00:20:06 – Contracts And Corruption 00:31:06 – Money Printing Decay 00:43:43 – Middle Class Squeeze 01:02:19 – Reform Has Failed 01:10:35 – What Happens Next - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH RUPERT LOWE › X/Twitter – https://x.com/RupertLowe10 SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    #143 – Emmanuel Maggiori – The Economics of State Failure

    Emmanuel Maggiori joins me to explain how inflation, incentives, and broken monetary rules quietly reshape behaviour inside an economy. From Argentina's black markets and capital controls to money printing, MMT, saving vs spending, and institutional credibility, we explore why inflation destroys trust long before it destroys prices — and why countries don't collapse overnight, but drift into dysfunction as rational people adapt. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Introduction 02:34 – Argentina As Warning 05:00 – Anti-Business Drift 23:49 – Black Markets Emerge 44:40 – Credibility Ends Inflation 57:36 – Corruption Normalised 1:17:14 – MMT Political Reality 1:48:21 – Why Saving Dies 2:00:40 – Discipline Over Time 2:54:44 – Pain Enables Reform - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH EMMANUEL MAGGIORI › Website – https://emaggiori.com/ › LinkedIn – https://uk.linkedin.com/in/emaggiori SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    #142 – Andrew Gold – The Incentives Driving Radicalisation on Both Sides

    Andrew Gold joins me to discuss how incentives are driving extremism, distrust, and cultural breakdown in the UK. From YouTube algorithms and purity spirals to immigration, economics, feminism, AI, and debt, we explore why honest debate is collapsing and why every political movement now frames itself as an existential last stand. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:05:29 – Purity Spirals Explained 00:10:18 – the Overton Window Effect 00:17:21 – When Ideas Become Unworkable 00:25:23 – Leaving Britain for Perspective 00:35:10 – Diagnosing the Uk 00:44:42 – Culture vs Economics 00:54:56 – Existential Politics 01:05:58 – Inflation & Asset Capture 01:43:29 – Red Lines and Leaving - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH ANDREW GOLD › Twitter – https://x.com/AndrewGold_ok › YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    #141 – Khaled Hassan – The Silent Coup: How The Muslim Brotherhood Captured The UK

    Peter sits down with Khaled Hassan to discuss immigration, extremism, and why Britain's institutions have become incapable of enforcing boundaries or even discuss them honestly. From counter-terrorism failures to media self-censorship, we examine how fear of controversy has replaced decision-making and why suppressing uncomfortable conversations doesn't reduce risk, but pushes it into darker, more dangerous directions. This is a conversation about red lines, state authority, and what happens when a country refuses to define either. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Versions Of Islam 00:03:19 – Policy Decisions Matter 00:06:01 – Media Silence 00:09:24 – Radicalisation Feedback 00:22:35 – Demographic Debate 00:37:38 – Policing Speech 00:46:40 – Authority Breakdown 00:56:16 – Extremism Threat 01:23:37 – Britain Is Declining 01:30:30 – Where's The Money - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH KHALED HASSAN › Twitter – https://x.com/Khaledhzakariah SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    #140 – Ben Habib – The British Right Has a Leadership Problem

    In this episode, I'm joined by Ben Habib for a conversation about Reform, Nigel Farage and where British politics is heading. Ben argues that Reform is far more fragile than most people realise. That it lacks a clear political philosophy, is driven by personality rather than principle, and could fail badly if it ever reaches power. His fear isn't just that Reform collapses, it's that its failure would discredit the wider pro-British cause for a generation. We discuss Farage's leadership, ambition, and record, the danger of movements built around individuals rather than ideas, and why simply breaking the two-party system isn't enough if what replaces it isn't serious, coherent, and capable of governing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Reform's Fragility 00:01:02 – No Credible Leaders 00:02:18 – Need New Force 00:05:58 – Reform Becomes Establishment 00:10:00 – Voters Sense Decay 00:11:28 – Farage as Campaigner 00:15:13 – Why Parliament Fails 00:20:00 – Selecting Weak Leaders 00:24:06 – Culture Labeled Extremism 00:32:03 – Economy Can't Recover 00:39:32 – Why Reform Would Fail - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH BEN HABIB › Website – https://linktr.ee/advanceuk › Twitter – https://x.com/benhabib6 SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    PMQs #009 – Jenrick's Defection Changes Nothing

    In this PMQs episode, we discuss Robert Jenrick's defection to Reform and how it signals a political system that can only manage decline, not reverse it. We discuss debt, inflation, incentives, and accountability - why every party borrows, why promises don't bind, and why voters are increasingly trapped choosing between different speeds of the same outcome.
