312: Why I loathe Kamala Harris | Lionel Shriver
This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Lionel Shriver. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
Kamala Harris has been hailed as the candidate of ‘joy’. But is there any substance beneath the supposedly feelgood vibes? Here, Lionel Shriver – author of Mania – tells spiked that there’s something fraudulent about Harris, who she says has never had an original idea nor held a consistent principle. Shriver also weighs in on the interminable ‘Trump is a fascist’ debate, the incompetence of Tim Walz and the dangers of a tight election result.

This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Matt Ridley. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
More than 28million were killed. The global economy was wrecked by two years of lockdown. Incalculable damage was done to health, education and liberty. The Covid-19 pandemic was the deadliest and most destructive disaster of our lifetimes, and yet there is still no official explanation for its cause. Here, Matt Ridley – co-author of Viral: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19 – talks to spiked about why a lab leak is almost certainly to blame for the pandemic. He explains why it’s no coincidence that the virus emerged from Wuhan, China. And he reveals what top scientists like Anthony Fauci knew in 2020, but tried to keep suppressed.

Here, Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, talks to spiked about the damage the trans movement is doing to society. She explains how it became taboo to tell the truth about biological sex. And how this is giving licence to rampant misogyny and homophobia, threatening hard-won rights.

Defund the police. Abolish the family. Repent for your white privilege. The elites have been gripped by some strange ideas in recent years. But they are worse than naive or fanciful. While these opinions confer status on the rich people who spout them, they come at a high cost for the less fortunate. Best-selling author Rob Henderson has a term for this, ‘luxury beliefs’. Here, he talks to Fraser Myers about how his own troubled start in life opened his eyes to the delusions of the upper class.

This is the audio from a video interview we just published on our YouTube channel, with historian and broadcaster David Starkey. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
What does Keir Starmer actually want? The UK’s new Labour prime minister is usually described as moderate, pragmatic and non-ideological. Here, historian and broadcaster David Starkey argues that this is an illusion. Starmer, Starkey explains, is a fierce anti-democrat. He wants to transfer power from the UK’s elected parliament to unelected bodies, from the courts to the civil service to the quangos. His party will establish the supremacy of the ‘Blob’, all while cracking down hard on free speech. Our democracy and liberty are in peril.

180: Debugger – Defending democracy from Big Tech
Big Tech makes big decisions over our lives: What products we see, how we feel about world events, what to censor – to some degree, even what medical decisions we make. Yet who controls Big Tech? The firms are so powerful and rich they really act as judge and jury now. Increasingly, they are accountable to no one. ‘Defending Democracy (and us!) from Big Tech’ is a three-episode docu-series from the Debugger Podcast exploring the depths of the problem… and the potential for solutions.
