Rational Voices with Sunil

Is this the funniest joke about transgenderism? I react to hilarious comedy clips from T.K. Kirkland and Ricky Gervais before giving his unfiltered views on gender identity, pronouns, gender-affirming care and women's rights.

I question the influence of gender ideology in schools, entertainment and healthcare, raises concerns about medical transition for minors, challenges gender stereotypes and discusses the debate surrounding biological sex, women's toilets and changing rooms.

From political correctness and freedom of speech to the future of gender identity debates, this is a provocative, opinionated commentary that doesn't shy away from controversial questions.

Has woke culture killed meritocracy in Britain?

Edward Dutton, also known as The Jolly Heretic, joins Sunil Sharma on Rational Voices to discuss Britain's intellectual decline, woke ideology, free speech, intelligence, education and the future of meritocracy.

We explore Edward's controversial theories about declining intelligence, political correctness, immigration, fertility rates and why he believes British institutions are failing to reward talent and original thinking.

Is Britain abandoning meritocracy in favour of ideology?

Is Labour quietly taking Britain back towards the European Union?

In this episode of Rational Voices, Sunil Sharma examines Andy Burnham’s comments on closer EU ties, Brexit and freedom of movement — and asks whether Britain could be heading towards a gradual reversal of Brexit.

Could closer EU integration mean losing control over immigration, British laws and national sovereignty? What would rejoining the EU single market mean for our borders, housing, wages, schools and NHS?

Sunil explores why millions voted for Brexit, the risks of restoring freedom of movement, and the questions politicians must answer before making new agreements with Brussels.

Is Brexit being slowly undone? Let me know what you think in the comments.

Following the death of Jeffrey Archer at the age of 86, I wanted to share this previously unreleased conversation I recorded with him.

Jeffrey discusses Margaret Thatcher, Boris Johnson, the Conservative Party, Donald Trump and his extraordinary career as one of Britain's most successful novelists. He also shares his approach to writing, storytelling, rejection and the importance of hard work.

A fascinating conversation about politics, literature and a remarkable life.
