In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Conservative MP and political reformer Danny Kruger for a wide-ranging conversation on civil service reform, Christianity, nationalism, and the future of British democracy.

We discuss Kruger’s critique of Blairism, the expansion of the administrative state, and why he believes Britain is no longer governed by Parliament, but by an unaccountable alliance of civil servants, judges, and quasi-independent institutions. He explains how depoliticisation, judicial activism, and the rise of quangos have hollowed out democratic accountability.

The conversation explores Kruger’s philosophy of conservatism rooted in family, community, and nation, his defence of civic rather than ethnic nationalism, and his argument that Britain remains a fundamentally Christian civilisation, even as faith has been pushed out of public life. We debate immigration, integration, multiculturalism, and whether British identity can survive rapid demographic and cultural change.

We also examine plans to reform the civil service, the House of Lords, and the judiciary, including restoring parliamentary sovereignty, repealing the Human Rights Act, and confronting institutional resistance to democratic mandates.

A searching and provocative conversation about power, faith, reform, and whether Britain can recover its constitutional foundations before social and political breakdown accelerates.
