The brutal Islamist regime, loathed at home and abroad, is at its weakest point in decades. Here, Andrew Fox – former British Army officer and associate fellow at the Henry Jackson Society – discusses why Israel felt it had to act, whether the Iranian regime can survive, and what risks lie ahead for Israel and the West.

367: ‘The woke are like zombies’ | Gad Saad
This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Gad Saad. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
Woke ideology is unfailingly irrational. Claims of systemic oppression in the West are easily disproven. And while activists claim to stand for tolerance and empathy, their intolerance and authoritarianism know no bounds. Here, Gad Saad – evolutionary psychologist, host of The Saad Truth and author of The Parasitic Mind – explains why woke spreads, despite its obvious dangers and contradictions. Indeed, it is the well educated, he argues, who are especially vulnerable to these infectious ideas. To win the culture war, we must inoculate society against this ‘mind virus’.

363: ‘We lost our minds’ | Lord Sewell on BLM
This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Tony Sewell. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
Five years ago, the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis sent the Black Lives Matter movement global. Activists declared Britain to be a ‘systemically racist’ nation, where ‘white privilege’ reigns. Lord Sewell was tasked by the then Conservative government to investigate the state of racism in the UK. His findings, in the Commission for Race and Ethnic Disparities report, caused uproar among the identitarian elites. Here, he tells spiked why there was no truth behind the BLM narrative in Britain, why class matters more than race, and why ethnic minorities must resist the label of victim.

361: ‘The EU is laughing at us’ | David Frost on Starmer’s surrender
This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with David Frost. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
Keir Starmer’s ‘Brexit reset’ is a comprehensive betrayal of the Leave vote. That’s the verdict of Lord Frost, former chief Brexit negotiator for Boris Johnson. Here, he tells spiked why this is such a bad deal for Britain. Frost slams Starmer for handing control over food, fishing, energy and more to Brussels, and for so little in return. This surrender to the EU, he warns, is dangerous for democracy, sovereignty and the UK economy.
