Paul Embery is a firefighter, trade union activist, writer and broadcaster. Paul has been a member of the Labour party since 1994 and active in the wider labour movement for most of his adult life. He has served on the executive council of the Fire Brigades Union and as the national organiser of Trade Unionists Against the EU.

Paul has written extensively about working-class politics and culture, including for UnHerd, The Huffington Post, The Spectator, Spiked and Compact. His first book is Despised: why the modern Left loathes the working class, which was published in 2020.

In this episode, Paul and I think out loud about the current state of the Labour Party, the sentiments of the working class toward the party and about the nation, the impact of immigration and the economic issues experienced by Britain, the increasing influence of the Blue Labour movement in the Labour party after being shunned for some years, why the Labour party needs to reconnect with its traditional base and address the concerns of the working class, particularly regarding cultural identity and national sentiment, how Britain is being served up hard multiculturalism and why it has emerged as a political ideology, and, indeed why Britain needs to put a stop to it.
