The co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, Roger Hallam, goes head-to-head with environmentalism sceptic, Ben Pile.

In the first Reasoned Debate, Darren Grimes has the two opposing sides discuss what place there is for democracy in environmentalism, the next generation and their concerns around the 'climate crisis', does the idea of the collapse of civilisation and/or the extinction of humanity *really* emerge from 'science', and, finally, is as a green agenda that has been captured in its totality by our cultural, political, educational and corporate elites really a rebellion?

Matthew Lesh of the Adam Smith Institute on why the Government should introduce a United Kingdom Free Speech Act modelled on the First Amendment of the USA. Existing laws, as applied, Matthew argues, have created categories of “speech crimes” for offensive but otherwise benign political speech. There is mounting evidence that existing law is capable of being applied, and is actually applied, in an overbroad fashion which was not contemplated by its drafters.  e.g. the treatment of Darren Grimes in June of this year.

Reasoned's Darren Grimes brings you the news, views and opinion of the week. This week's show features a look at the fall from grace of our cultural elites in believing everything award-winning 'journalist' Carole Cadwalladr has said, after being exposed in court by Brexit campaigner Arron Banks! Darren will also be discussing a UK Free Speech Act with the Adam Smith Institute's Matthew Lesh, OfCom's BBC findings and Question Time's plummeting ratings, as well as the liberal hypocrisy over foreign aid spending.

Thirty years on from her resignation, Margaret Thatcher is back in the press thanks to Gillian Anderson’s portrayal of her in the Netflix smash hit, The Crown.

But just how accurate is it? What were the similarities between Her Majesty The Queen and Margaret Thatcher? What were the disagreements? Is The Crown guilty of blatant historical inaccuracies and how does Darren Grimes's guest, with his unique insight as a former adviser, rate the series and portrayal of Lady T?

John O'Sullivan, CBE is the Author of The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister, the National Review’s Editor at Large and, crucially for our conversation today, a former Adviser to Lady Margaret Thatcher.

Thirty years on from Margaret Thatcher's resignation from Number 10 Downing Street, Gillian Anderson's portrayal of the Iron Lady in the Netflix smash hit, The Crown, has placed her back into the global conversation. 

Economist and Director of the Adam Smith Institute, Dr Eamonn Butler, explains how, whilst Margaret Thatcher's medicine might well have been tough for the patient, Margaret Thatcher did indeed save the United Kingdom from almost terminal decline under socialism.

The Director of the Adam Smith Institute and renowned economist, Dr Eamonn Butler, on how the Chancellor can set Britain free to go for growth!

Boris Johnson has decided that his government shall worship at the altar of green, putting in place a petrol car ban by 2030 and a ten point green industrial strategy. Is this a mistake? Best-selling author Matt Ridley thinks so.

Whilst, as Matt admits, both working class voters and the more affluent have concerns for the environment, he reckons that is likely to change if Boris Johnson’s green agenda starts to hit his new voters in the pocket. 

Will those without a middle class safety net, who could face finding it difficult to purchase cheap meat, holidays, vans and energy in the future, be quite miffed about losing these gifts of modern progress?

Professor Nigel Biggar on reminding ourselves of what's good about the United Kingdom, the philosophy that ought to guide the Conservative Party, attempted cancellations at Oxford for telling the truth about the British Empire and just why does the Left keep losing elections but ultimately winning power anyway?

Professor Nigel Biggar is Regius Professor of Moral & Pastoral Theology, and Director of the McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics, & Public Life at the University of Oxford. He's in conversation with Reasoned UK's Darren Grimes. Please do consider leaving a review and sharing this podcast if you enjoy it.

Award-winning author and political commentator Helen Dale takes Darren Grimes through her views on cancel culture, big tech, solving the migrant crisis, Dominic Cummings and the ongoing political realignment.
