    Here's What I Think About... Keir Starmer and his Politics of Antisemite Scapegoats

    A routine, postponed school visit becomes a national scandal — and a lesson in how safeguarding gets twisted into antisemitism for political gain. This podcast unpacks how a calm decision to protect children exposed the dangerous way that power, misinformation, and Westminster politics disguise the truth.

    Here's What I Think About... St George and The Flag of Irony

    In this episode, I take a close look at St George and the Flag of Irony, and how it exposes a big contradiction at the heart of flag-waving nationalism. I challenge the idea of who gets to call themselves a patriot, and I remind us that England’s culture, language, and even its flag are the result of centuries of migration. I attempt to make the case that, far from being a threat to national identity, diversity has always been one of its greatest strengths.

    Here's What I Think About... Stupid People

    In this episode I try to explain why it’s not ignorance but stupidity — ignorance wrapped in confidence — that does the real damage in politics and public life. From World War I generals to modern British ministers, I explore how half-knowledge and power produce leaders who bluster rather than lead. It’s a call to ‘value learning’ over loudness, because ignorance can be fixed, but stupidity too often runs for office Send us a text If you enjoy this episode, please don’t forget to subscribe.
