Mike Graham - Keir Starmer is a VERY Weird Man
Subscribe to Heretics Clips here: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos
Sir Keir Starmer might be the Leader of the Opposition — but according to Mike Graham, he’s also a very weird man. In this unfiltered Heretics interview, the outspoken TalkTV host breaks down exactly what he finds so unusual about the Labour leader, from his awkward public persona to his unpredictable political instincts.
Mike Graham doesn’t do polite Westminster small talk. Instead, he takes a scalpel to Starmer’s personality, style, and leadership — exposing why so many people struggle to connect with him. Is it the wooden delivery? The strange pauses? The moments where he seems completely out of touch with ordinary voters? Mike lays it all out with his trademark bluntness.
Beyond the soundbites, this is a deep dive into why Keir Starmer feels so different from past Labour leaders — and not necessarily in a good way. Mike explores whether this oddness is simply a personality quirk… or a sign of something more worrying in modern politics, where authenticity is in short supply and leaders are built like corporate brands.
From Starmer’s time as Director of Public Prosecutions to his flip-flopping on key issues, Mike pulls together the traits that make him such a puzzling figure. He asks the questions the mainstream media avoids: does Starmer actually believe in anything? Is his strangeness calculated, or does he just not know how to be himself in public?
This is not a party-political broadcast — it’s a candid, often hilarious, and sometimes brutal assessment of a man who could be Britain’s next Prime Minister. Whether you agree with Mike’s verdict or not, you’ll never look at Keir Starmer the same way again after hearing this.

Connie Shaw - Leeds University BACKLASH: WOKE Lecturers HATE Graham Linehan
👉 Don’t miss future explosive interviews. Subscribe now to Heretics Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos
🔥 Leeds University is reeling from a shocking free speech scandal that’s raising serious questions about censorship, ideology, and the future of higher education in Britain. At the heart of it all is Connie Shaw, a former Leeds Student Radio presenter, who was dragged into a Kafkaesque nightmare simply for interviewing Graham Linehan — the comedy writer cancelled for his outspoken stance on gender ideology.
Her “crime”? Asking questions. The result? Accusations of “bringing the station into disrepute,” a disciplinary process straight out of a dystopian novel, and even a ban from campus.
👉 Watch the full podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeLnRAhlb6M
In this eye-opening interview, Connie pulls back the curtain on:
The most shocking question she was asked in her disciplinary hearing.
Why Leeds University staff seemed more interested in policing ideology than protecting free expression.
How she was pressured with re-education demands worthy of totalitarian regimes.
The social ostracism that followed, including friends told not to be seen with her.
The hidden role of “gender expression funds” for binders and tuckers while free speech crumbles.
But this is more than one student’s ordeal. Connie’s story highlights the backlash from woke lecturers and administrators who appear to fear dissent more than dishonesty. With support from groups like the Free Speech Union and allies such as Toby Young, her case has become a symbol of a much larger question: Do universities still value open debate, or are they enforcing an ideological orthodoxy?
Her revelations about Graham Linehan’s involvement, the chilling response from faculty, and the authoritarian tone of the investigation expose a side of academia that mainstream media won’t touch.
👉 Stay tuned until the end for Connie’s surprising inspirations, her future plans, and her message to anyone worried about cancel culture, censorship, and academic freedom.
This interview isn’t just about Connie Shaw. It’s about the future of free speech in the UK.

Robbie Williams - 'If THIS Happens... I'm F*CKED'
Subscribe to Heretics Clips for raw, unfiltered conversations with icons who say what others won’t. In this brutally honest and hilarious episode, Robbie Williams sits down with Andrew Gold to admit a truth most celebrities would never say out loud — that his fame has insulated him from reality… and if it all disappeared tomorrow, he’d be completely screwed. Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos
For decades, Robbie has been one of the most recognisable faces in British music — a man who’s lived in a world where doors open automatically and problems are quietly solved behind the scenes. But in this candid chat, he reflects on what that kind of life does to your mind. Has fame made him softer? Has it robbed him of resilience? And what happens when the spotlight inevitably fades?
He speaks openly about how fame warps your sense of normality — from having people cook, drive and manage every aspect of your existence, to realising one day that you wouldn’t know how to survive without it. But beneath the humour and self-deprecation is something much deeper: Robbie’s fear of losing connection, meaning and identity if the music stopped.
Expect sharp insight and classic Robbie wit as he wrestles with the paradox of success — being powerful but dependent, adored but isolated. He talks about what it’s like to live in a permanent bubble, how he tries to keep his feet on the ground, and why he believes humility is a muscle that fame slowly weakens.
This isn’t self-pity — it’s self-awareness. Robbie unpacks what “celebrity” really costs, why he envies people who live ordinary lives, and how he’s trying to rebuild a sense of purpose beyond applause. It’s funny, revealing, and at times painfully real — the confession of a man who’s seen both sides of fame and knows just how fragile it really is.
This is Robbie Williams stripped of the spotlight — reflective, self-deprecating, and completely Heretical.

The Islamic Network inside the Home Office – now over 700 members strong

Henry Bolton OBE - EVIL Cockpit: 'My AFFAIR with Jo Marney (30 Years Younger Than Me)'
Subscribe to Heretics Clips for fearless, unfiltered conversations that cut through political spin and dive into the messy, human stories behind power, scandal, and redemption. 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos
In this gripping interview, Henry Bolton OBE — soldier, former UKIP leader, and counter-terror expert — sits down with Andrew Gold to unpack one of the most talked-about political scandals of the past decade. Once hailed as a military hero and the man who could rebuild UKIP after Nigel Farage, Bolton’s leadership collapsed in a storm of controversy over his relationship with Jo Marney, a model and party activist thirty years his junior.
From war zones to Westminster, Bolton reflects on his transformation from decorated officer to embattled politician. He opens up about the intense scrutiny, media frenzy, and personal fallout that followed the scandal that ended his career — and reveals what life inside a collapsing populist movement really felt like.
Born in Nairobi and trained in the British Army, Bolton served across Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan, earning an OBE for services to international security. But in politics, his mission was tougher: to rescue a party in chaos after Brexit. So how did a man who thrived in military precision find himself consumed by infighting, betrayal, and moral warfare within his own ranks?
In this explosive conversation, Bolton finally tells his side of the story.
Was he a victim of tabloid hysteria — or the architect of his own downfall?
What was it really like leading UKIP in its darkest hour?
And what does his story reveal about ego, ambition, and the cost of public shame?
This is a rare, brutally honest look at how power, love, and scandal collide — told by the man who lived it.

James Esses - You're NOT Trans... You're AUTISTIC
Subscribe to Heretics Clips here 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos
What happens when sexuality, gender identity, and autism collide in today’s culture wars? Child therapy advocate James Esses joins Heretics to tackle one of the most controversial debates in the UK right now — and why he believes society is dangerously blurring the lines between being trans and being autistic.
In this explosive and deeply thought-provoking conversation, James explains how young people — particularly autistic girls and same-sex attracted women — are sometimes being misdiagnosed or pressured into identifying as trans when their experiences may have entirely different roots.
We discuss:
Why some autistic traits can be mistaken for gender dysphoria
The growing number of detransitioners who regret their medical choices
Why lesbians who don’t date trans women are now being labelled “transphobic”
The case of lesbian dating event organiser Jenny Watson — and the backlash she faced
How cultural and activist pressures are influencing therapy and clinical practice
Why J.K. Rowling has publicly warned about these trends
💥 This isn’t an anti-trans conversation — it’s a call for open discussion and proper safeguarding. James argues that vulnerable young people deserve better than rushed diagnoses and politically motivated treatments.
👉 Are clinicians now afraid to question whether a patient is truly trans?
👉 How is autism being overlooked in the rush to affirm gender identity?
👉 And what will future generations think when they look back at this moment in history?
James draws on his professional background and real-world examples to show how ideological capture can affect mental health care — and why safeguarding, not politics, should be the priority when it comes to children and teens.
Whether you agree with James or not, this is a conversation that challenges the dominant narrative and demands critical thinking.

Andrew Lownie - How Prince Andrew & Fergie Got Entangled in EPSTEIN'S WEB
Royal biographer Andrew Lownie joins Andrew Gold to unpack the newly leaked emails that appear to upend Prince Andrew’s claim that he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein years earlier. What do these messages really reveal about friendship, leverage, and quiet deals at the top of British society—and how do they pull Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson into the same web? 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless breakdowns: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos
Lownie—author of Traitor King—guides us through the timeline, tone, and subtext of the leaks, asking what they imply about continued contact, money matters, and reputational triage. We explore how Fergie’s financial entanglements intersect with Epstein’s orbit, why old debts and discreet introductions keep resurfacing, and how the Ghislaine Maxwell photo still shapes public perception. Are we looking at isolated misjudgments—or evidence of a pattern of proximity that won’t survive the sunlight?
Expect sharp, evidence-led analysis on:
The language of the emails and what it suggests about distance—or closeness—after the supposed break.
How Fergie’s private dealings complicate the narrative and widen the fallout.
The money trail: debts, favors, and the quiet economy of access.
Why names like Peter Mandelson recur in this story, and what that repetition tells us.
How King Charles and Prince William may be calculating the risk as the monarchy fights to protect its legitimacy.
Is this the moment that finally ends Prince Andrew’s public role for good? Can the **decades-old palace playbook—deny, delay, downplay—**withstand documentary leaks and forensic scrutiny? Andrew Lownie lays out the stakes for accountability, credibility, and the future of the monarchy, separating what’s known from what’s merely rumored, and spotlighting the questions that still demand answers.

Josh Friend - Insider Reveals the DARKNESS Surrounding Lostprophets' Ian Watkins
Subscribe to Heretics Clips for fearless, unfiltered conversations with artists who’ve seen the industry from the inside. In this chilling, first-person account, Modestep frontman Josh Friend tells Andrew Gold what it was really like to tour around Lostprophets — the unsettling vibe, the ignored red flags, and how power and image can shield the worst behaviour. Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos
Why do predators thrive in plain sight? Josh describes the strange atmosphere orbiting Ian Watkins, the whispered warnings, and the career pressures that kept people quiet. He explains how PR spin, label incentives, and fan tribalism can turn suspicion into silence — until the façade finally collapses. Was it denial, fear, or complicity? And what should bands do differently when fame starts to blur the moral lines?
This conversation pulls back the curtain on the machinery of reputation: how brands are protected, how concerns get minimised, and how touring crews and young fans are left exposed. Josh shares what he wishes he’d done sooner, how to create real reporting channels on the road, and why speaking out still feels risky in a business that punishes dissent. He and Andrew dig into accountability, separating art from artist, and rebuilding trust after betrayal — without rewriting history.
You’ll hear hard questions and candid answers: Did people inside the scene suspect something was wrong? How did the label fallout unfold? Why do some musicians become louder online but quieter in private? And what would genuine reform look like — from safeguarding policies to zero-tolerance contracts?
This isn’t gossip. It’s a sober reckoning with the cultural blind spots that let evil hide in plain sight — told by someone who lived close enough to feel the heat and chose to speak. If you care about music, fandom, and protecting the vulnerable, this is essential viewing.

Rob Hersov - South Africa is ENFORCING Ethnically Diverse Quota in Sports (Yes, This is REAL)
Subscribe to Heretics Clips now for explosive interviews that pull no punches: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos
What happens when sports teams are forced to meet racial quotas instead of selecting purely on merit? In this gripping Heretics interview, billionaire entrepreneur and outspoken critic Rob Hersov exposes the reality of ethnically diverse quotas in South African sports — and the damage he says they’re causing to athletes, teams, and the nation’s competitive edge.
Hersov reveals how government-mandated quotas — part of South Africa’s wider race-based laws — have reshaped everything from school sports to professional teams. He shares personal stories and insider knowledge about how these policies operate in practice, and why they’ve become so controversial.
In this eye-opening conversation, you’ll discover:
The exact rules behind South Africa’s racial quota system in sports.
Why Hersov’s own 13-year-old daughter was excluded from a team to meet a racial target.
How quotas affect team morale, performance, and fairness.
The political origins of these policies in the ANC’s post-apartheid strategy.
Why critics say quotas are hurting South Africa’s international sporting reputation.
The wider link between DEI ideology, government interference, and racial division.
Hersov argues that while diversity in sport can be positive, enforced quotas undermine meritocracy, discourage excellence, and create resentment on all sides. He connects these policies to the ANC’s broader 114 race-based laws, which he says are damaging South Africa’s economy, culture, and unity.
This interview is raw, controversial, and guaranteed to spark debate. Hersov doesn’t hold back on naming the political forces driving these policies, and he challenges the silence of international sporting bodies and media outlets that refuse to criticise them.
Whether you agree with his views or not, the personal accounts, political context, and hard-hitting analysis he delivers are impossible to ignore.
➡️ Watch the full interview now and join the conversation in the comments: Should sports be about merit — or should quotas decide who plays?
