This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Michael Lind. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
A month on from Trump’s seismic victory, Democrats are still in denial about the significance of their defeat. Party elites think slicker messaging alone can claw back lost support. Here, Michael Lind – author of Hell to Pay and The New Class War – explains why this is so delusional. Identitarianism, illegal immigration and green extremism made America ripe for a populist revolt. Lind also weighs in on the tensions in the MAGA movement and the farmers’ protests in Europe.

‘To fight evil.’ That’s why Macer Gifford gave up his comfortable life as a City of London currency trader to fight as an international volunteer in two major conflicts – first in Syria, and then in Ukraine. In 2014, he joined the Kurds in their battle against ISIS. In 2022, he helped Ukrainians fend off Putin’s Russia. Here, Macer reveals the perils of 21st-century warfare, recalls the joy of liberating Kherson, and explains why Ukrainians are still willing to risk it all for their freedom.

There is no ‘safe’ way to legalise assisted dying, warns Conservative MP Danny Kruger on spiked today ahead of Friday’s House of Commons vote. Talking to Fraser Myers, he argues that a ‘right to die’ would force the NHS to offer ‘death on demand’. For all the talk of the ‘safeguards’ in the proposed bill, the experience of countries like Canada shows that mission creep is inevitable. There, assisted dying is routinely offered to those who don’t ask for it, and as a substitute for proper care. He urges his fellow MPs to reject this dangerous bill.

This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Natasha Hausdorff. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
Israel is easily the most demonised nation on Earth. Despite the Jewish State being a liberal democracy, Western activists spend vastly more time raging against it than they do genuinely despotic regimes. We’re told Israel is committing ‘genocide’ in Gaza, that it is going out of its way to kill civilians in its war against Hamas, that it is an ‘apartheid state’. But none of this bears any resemblance to reality. Here, barrister Natasha Hausdorff debunks the anti-Israel myths, which she says have become a kind of new blood libel.

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. -

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. - Show more
