I'm Jonathan Sacerdoti

Has Britain lost the courage to defend itself? Michael Gove on the collapse of civilisation


Listen Later

Michael Gove, former Cabinet Minister and one of Britain’s most articulate conservative thinkers, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for an unflinching conversation about the perilous state of Britain — a nation he says is “desperate” and in danger of moral collapse.


From Islamist extremism on British streets to the cowardice of the political class, Gove warns that antisemitism is not a Jewish problem but a British sickness — a sign that the West has lost its faith, its confidence, and its sense of right and wrong.


He argues that Islamism, like Nazism and Marxism before it, is a totalitarian ideology — one that Britain’s elites have failed to confront. He calls out the Foreign Office, the media, and academia for their naïve hostility to Israel, their indulgence of terror sympathisers, and their betrayal of Western civilisation’s own values.


In this powerful and wide-ranging discussion, Gove reflects on the rise of Farage and Reform UK, on Tommy Robinson, on Israel’s fight for survival, and on the need to rediscover Britain’s Judeo-Christian moral core before it’s too late.


👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how the West lost its nerve — and how it might just find it again.
