The State Failed the Southport Victims

Welcome to Episode 27 of the Sceptic! On the show this week, host Laurie Wastell speaks to the following guests:

David Shipley, writer on prison reform for publications including the Spectator, on the Government’s failings over the Southport attack and the serious questions for Keir Starmer and the Government about why we were kept in the dark about it. 

 

Fred de Fossard, Director of Strategy at the Prosperity Institute (formerly the Legatum Institute) and writer for publications including the Critic, on how the inauguration of Donald Trump is set to blow a hole in woke capitalism – and whether Britain can ever follow suit. 

 

And for our premium subscribers, Laurie is joined by author and historian Ed West, on why the fallout of the grooming gangs scandal could make it Britain’s Chernobyl.
