In this powerful episode, Henry Bolton OBE — decorated soldier, former UKIP leader, and counter-terror expert — joins Andrew Gold to dissect the rapid rise of Reform UK, the influence of Danny Kruger, and what their momentum reveals about a Britain fed up with hollow leadership. Bolton, who’s served both in war zones and the political trenches, offers a rare insider’s take on how frustration with establishment parties has ignited a new populist movement that refuses to play by Westminster’s rules.

Born in Nairobi and trained in the British Army, Bolton earned an OBE for international security after missions in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. He later entered politics, first with the Liberal Democrats, then with UKIP, eventually becoming party leader during its most chaotic chapter. Having seen the inner workings of power up close, Bolton now argues that the traditional political class has lost touch with reality — and that parties like Reform UK are the inevitable backlash.

So what is the “Danny Kruger Effect”? Bolton believes it’s the embodiment of a national mood shift — a demand for moral clarity, real-world leadership, and courage to challenge bureaucratic groupthink. He and Gold explore how Kruger and Reform are tapping into a deep cultural frustration, reshaping British conservatism and threatening to rewrite the electoral map.

Inside the episode:

Why Reform’s rhetoric is striking a chord with voters left behind by Labour and the Tories.

How Danny Kruger’s unapologetic tone is reshaping the right.

What lessons Bolton learned from UKIP’s collapse that Reform must heed.

And whether Britain’s political elite are finally facing a reckoning.

Is this a genuine political reset — or another populist flash in the pan? Bolton’s analysis blends the pragmatism of a soldier with the experience of a political survivor. Expect honesty, sharp insight, and no spin.
