Matt Goodwin is a British political scientist, author, and public intellectual known for his work on populism, national identity, and political realignment. With decades of research and media experience, he’s become one of the UK’s most provocative and insightful voices on the future of British politics.

In this interview, we explore the meteoric rise of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the collapse of the Conservatives, and what may be the most profound political shift in Britain since the early 20th century. Matt breaks down why mainstream parties have lost touch with voters, how mass immigration and cultural drift have reshaped the national mood, and why Farage’s brand of nationalism is resonating across class, age, and region. We also tackle political censorship, the failure of multiculturalism, and whether Britain is heading for a complete democratic realignment — or something even bigger.

Alp Mehmet is the Chairman of Migration Watch UK and a former British ambassador with decades of experience in immigration policy, diplomacy, and public service.

In this interview we discuss mass immigration, demographic change, and political cowardice. Alp explains why current migration policy is unsustainable, how GDP per capita is falling, why integration has failed, and what the real cost of ignoring these trends could be. With over 1.2 million people entering Britain yearly and political parties dodging the issue, is the UK on a path to irreversible cultural and social change?

In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, I'm joined by Adam Coleman—author, campaigner, and rising political voice—for a deep dive into the state of Britain.

We discuss the impact of uncontrolled immigration, the collapse of traditional values, youth disillusionment, political cowardice, and the urgent need for localism and cultural renewal. Coleman pulls no punches on what’s gone wrong and why it’s time for a radical reset.

Jasmine Birtles is a financial expert, author, and founder of Money Magpie. In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, she explains why Britain’s economy is teetering on the edge—from a broken tax system and bloated welfare state to personal finance illiteracy and out-of-control government spending.

We cover the exodus of wealth creators, the reality of Universal Credit traps, how schools fail to teach money skills, and why Jasmine believes a major crash might be the only path to reform. We also dive into Bitcoin, gold, and the cultural stigma around financial success in the UK.

Historian and broadcaster David Starkey delivers an honest critique of modern Britain’s decline—from constitutional vandalism to the death of democratic accountability. Starkey traces the unraveling of centuries-old English liberties, exposing how Tony Blair’s government dismantled parliamentary sovereignty, politicised the judiciary, and empowered unelected quangos to rule by decree.

In this interview, Starkey explains why Britain is no longer a true democracy, how legal and cultural revolutions hollowed out national identity, and why the country stands at a historic crossroads. Starkey makes the case for restoring tradition, courage, and a politics rooted in freedom.

Former Conservative MP and Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe joins Peter McCormack to expose the failure of Britain's political class, the betrayal of conservative values, and the rise of Reform UK.

In the interview, she discusses mass immigration, the collapse of the Tory Party, net zero extremism, unelected civil servants, the erosion of free speech, and the growing disconnect between Westminster and ordinary Britons. Widdecombe delivers a scathing analysis of how the establishment has abandoned its duty to the nation—and why political realignment is not only inevitable, but essential.

Rupert Read is a philosopher, author, and former Extinction Rebellion spokesperson who now leads the Climate Majority Project—an effort to unite people across the political spectrum around pragmatic climate action.

With a focus on adaptation, resilience, and risk management, Rupert argues that climate change is not a “woke” issue but a clear and present danger that demands sober, cross-partisan solutions. In this interview, Rupert challenges mainstream narratives, question the failures of Net Zero messaging, and explore why conservatives should take the lead on climate preparedness. From threats to national security and food supply to the economic costs of inaction, Rupert lays out a case for tackling climate change that doesn’t rely on ideology—but on common sense.
