We discuss:

- Whether Britain is in decline (and if it’s reversible)

- Why politics feels disconnected from ordinary people

- Institutions, “the blob”, and how change actually happens

- Immigration, social cohesion, and the new political realignment

- Free speech, policing speech, and where the line should be

- The teacher story: “Britain is a Christian country” — and what happened next

- National identity, cultural confidence, and what replaces Christianity

- Why people stop “asking nicely” — and what comes after
