Is Britain still a free country - or is free speech being criminalised?

In this episode, I talk to Ed West about the challenges of the jury service and its future. The conversation widens into a much broader examination of justice, bias, and how culture now shapes the courtroom in ways few people want to admit.

From there, we range across some of the most combustible issues in UK public life: the expanding public sector, the strange power of diversity bureaucracies, the collapse of trust in government, the paralysis around immigration, and why mental health has become entangled with work, politics, and policy.

This is a fast-moving, unsparing conversation about a country that feels stuck - and the reforms that might be necessary to unstick it.

If you care about the future of Britain, justice, and whether liberal democracy can survive its own contradictions, you’ll want to hear this one.
