Now forget the MSM declaring victory. Slippery Starmer shamed Britain last night by egregiously
lying about his government trampling all over free speech, even when he was directly challenged
by US Vice President Jadie Vance.
With our friends in the UK and also with some of our European allies.
But we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just
the British. Of course, what the British do in their own country is up to them,
but also affect American technology companies and by extension, American citizens. So
that is something that we'll talk about today at lunch.
We've had free speech for a very, very long time in the United Kingdom
and it will last for a very, very long time.
Well, no, I mean, certainly we wouldn't want to reach across U.S. citizens
and we don't, and that's absolutely right.
But in relation to free speech in the U.K., I'm very proud of our history there.
Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. Oh my goodness, I've got so much to say on that.
But I will hold my thoughts for the digest.
But it wasn't the only blatant attempt to distort and mislead by two-tiered Kier
during his embarrassing turn in the Oval Office,
where he finally trampled over his morals to suck up to the most important
and mistreated man in the world, who, remember, he spent years trying to destroy.
Don't underestimate the danger to the world if Trump is re-elected this time around.
I'm anti-Trump.
In my digest next, I'll provide the analysis on Starmer's shameful visit to DC
that you won't get from the MSM.
Then, Conor Tomlinson, contributor to Courage Media and co-host of Deprogrammed on
the New Culture Forum, joins me to provide his unparalleled analysis. Also coming up on the show
today, Katie Hopkins makes a bold bid to run for Reform UK and become an MP at the next election.
Shocking new information about who really runs Britain as the deep state
is exposed. And Suella Braverman explains why she can never be English as J.K. Rowling fumes
at Owen Jones for hypocrisy over the issue given his position on trans. A crazy lineup to end the
week. Then in the uncancelled after show on Substack, we decode the cringeworthy sneak peek from Meghan Markle of her brand new Netflix show.
It's even worse, by the way, than I ever predicted, folks.
Our royal mastermind and Prince Harry's biographer, Angela Levin, here to reveal all.
Sign up www.outspoken.live.
And because it is a Friday, we are going to reveal at the end of the show,
the worst Britain in the world this week. You can go right now to my posts tab on X,
sorry, not on X, what am I talking about? On YouTube and cast your vote. And what we do is we take your winners of Union Jackass
throughout the week and put them head to head.
So this week we have from Monday,
the Greater Manchester Police,
Tuesday, Ed Miliband,
Wednesday, David Lammy,
Thursday, Sadiq Khan.
Get voting.
The worst Britain in the world chosen by you,
the outspoken audience,
we've already had tens of thousands of votes,
will be announced at the end of the show. But now, let's go.
I'm dumbfounded. I'm disgusted. I'm ashamed of the British government today the mainstream media is
heralding slippery starmer some type of returning hero having charmed Donald Trump in the White
House with a letter from King Charles but what our actual scumbag Prime Minister did was lie. Lie in front of the world about the very real
challenges facing those of us who believe in preserving the great traditions of the United
Kingdom, especially when it comes to the absolute trampling over our right to free speech.
So rather than admit that there is a major problem when J.D. Vance challenged him directly on the issue, having been prompted by the president, by the way, a prickly stammer obfuscated, pretending there simply is no issue.
All right, one or two more. Yes, ma'am. In his remarks at the Munich Security Conference, Vice President Vance condemned
free speech violations in the U.K. particularly.
Could you respond?
What is your message?
Well, I have an idea.
We have the man right here.
Come on.
Let's go, J.D.
We're putting you on stage.
Great.
Yeah, look, I said what I said, which is that we do have, of course, a special relationship with our friends in the UK and also with some of our European allies.
But we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the British.
Of course, what the British do in their own country is up to them, but also affect American technology companies and by extension, American citizens.
So that is something that we'll talk about today at lunch. We've had free speech for a very, very long time in
the United Kingdom and it will last for a very, very long time. Well, no, I mean, certainly we
wouldn't want to reach across US citizens and we don't. And that's absolutely right. But in
relation to free speech in the UK, I'm very proud of our history there.
What the hell?
How dare he?
How dare he?
Terrified grandmas.
And even the country's top newspaper columnist are getting actual knocks on the door from the police
because of social media posts.
Desperate mothers have been jailed for over two years for writing in anger on the day of the
Southport massacre on X and Facebook. Not to mention the poor man incarcerated for interminable
periods simply for protesting non-violently. Like the pro-Brexit anti-globalist hero Peter Lynch,
who ended up dead behind bars after receiving an inhumane 32-month sentence. And Starmer claimed
there is free speech to be proud of in the UK. How can he be proud of that? The whole world knows this charlatan as two-tier Keir.
And on the very day he was denying any free speech issues, by the way, his own MP,
Mike Amesbury, avoided jail altogether, despite punching the lights out of one of his own
constituents. So do not tell me there isn't an issue. Do not tell me there isn't an issue.
As Nigel Farage made quite clear last night at the same time as the meeting at the White House on stage in Hull.
Crime 25 percent higher than the national average, people scared to go out after dark, the police force who seem to be
more concerned about what we say on social media, more concerned than maybe the Labour
MP for Runcorn, who at 2 o'clock in the morning doesn't just strike someone in the street,
but hits him five times on the ground. And what happens today at appeal? We're told the
prison sentence is to be suspended. I guess that's because he's part of the Labour Party
and part of the ruling class, and we saw it after the riots last summer. Different groups of people
being treated differently. That is not what this country is all about. I will not live
with two-tier policing and two-tier justice. Everybody must be treated the same.
And they're not. And look, there was loads of evidence to prove that what Starmer's saying
is a complete joke. The Free Speech Union pointed out hundreds of people have been prosecuted for
online speech crimes under the Online Safety Act amid growing concerns over its implications for
free expression in Britain. Baroness Fox of Buckley pleaded with the vice president, writing,
hope at J.D. Vance pursues this over lunch, as he promised, because my goodness,
this is Starmer gaslighting us all. So, so many laws and indeed his own government's policies
are undermining that very free speech we have historically fought for in the UK,
that these rights are being eroded daily should be a source of shame, not
pride. And I am ashamed of our prime minister because Starmer is a leader with no soul.
He believes nothing. In power, he is an empty vessel working for the Davos globalists he cares more about than us.
After all, how did he go from feeling this about Trump?
Don't underestimate the danger to the world if Trump is re-elected this time around.
I'm anti-Trump.
So how did he go from that to sucking up in a manner unbecoming of someone who thinks they have a place on the world stage?
It's an invitation for a second state visit.
This is really special. This has never happened before.
This is unprecedented. And I think that just symbolizes the strength of the relationship between us.
So this is a very special letter.
I think the last state visit was a tremendous success.
His Majesty the King wants to make this even better than that.
So this is truly historic, an unprecedented second state visit,
and he wants to talk that through with you.
And that says at Windsor that's really something. Yes. What I haven't got yet is your answer. I do need to. The answer is yes.
So look, we know Starmer is a compulsive liar. Just look at his broken election manifesto.
But to lie in such a brazen manner in front of the US president, in front of the
world's media shows an appalling flaw in his character. And this is about issues big and small.
By the way, like when he told Trump it was so good to see the bust of Winston Churchill back
in its rightful place. Meanwhile, back in Westminster, Starmer's Labour Party has been removing portraits of Churchill.
As my friend Nick Dixon put it, Starmer is playing the role of a normal Prime Minister abroad,
whilst being a rabid communist at home. But as he left, there was another humiliation for Starmer,
not that the British MSM gave a damn. The United States House Committee on the Judiciary has
written to him to demand
communication in regards to the UK's attacks on free speech. According to the Mercian, it states
that the US has issued subpoenas to all social media companies that are told to comply with UK
censorship laws. So what's clear to me is that anything achieved by the United Kingdom at the
White House yesterday was down to our country's historic reputation, especially Trump's love for the monarchy and King Charles and Prince
William. It is nothing to do with Starmer, who is the wrong prime minister at the wrong time,
who continues to push a globalist agenda just when we need to close our borders and save our society.
And now, Conor Tomlinson is today's outsider.
Conor, great to have you, but how did you feel watching Starmer lie to the world
and say that we should be proud of the free speech that we have in the UK.
I feel much like how Vice President Vance must have felt sitting there watching Starmer with his body language sort of scrunched up like a wrung out towel,
cowering before President Trump as President Trump slipped in a fair few digs about Britain being incapable of
taking Russia on its own and you know Brexit being a good thing which Starmer sought to thwart at
every possible term of the second referendum but also to watch him openly misrepresent the state
of free speech in Britain I mean J.D. Vance in his Munich security conference speech already
referenced Adam Smith Connor the chap who who underwent a Christian conversion,
had paid for his girlfriend's abortion and has since regretted it,
praying silently outside an abortion centre in his own head on behalf of the dead child
and other dead children who was then arrested thanks to both the Conservative and Labour Party's
abortion buffer zones censorship bill, the thought crime bill.
Since then, someone else as well has been arrested.
So the idea that this isn't going on is mental.
That's Rose Doherty.
She was arrested in Glasgow for holding a sign that said, and I quote,
coercion is a crime here to talk only if you want.
And this was defended by members of Scottish Parliament because Scotland's buffer zone bill,
which again, presumably the Labour Party support because they haven't stepped in to stop it,
actually criminalises prayer inside your own home if someone walks past your window. And that was defended on the BBC recently this week. And of course,
Starmer himself is responsible for mobilising magistrates courts around the clock to convict
so-called keyboard warriors, as you've spoken about valiantly on your show before, Dan, like
Judy Sweeney, who was a 53-year-old care worker who put some unwise
rage rhetoric onto Facebook in the aftermath of the murders of the girls by Axel Rudacabana
in Southport. And she's received a couple of years in prison without parole. It's funny,
the same judge that sent her down just gave Mike Amesbury, the former Labour MP who punched his constituent in the head,
a suspended sentence for only 10 weeks.
So this must be that two-tier justice that I keep hearing about.
Yeah, same judge.
Oh my God.
Yeah, funny that, isn't it?
The judge is Stephen Everett,
one of those typical activist judges that Keir Starmer seems to embody
being the judicial British deep state. Oh yes, He was nominated yesterday actually for union jackass,
but I didn't realize he was the guy that sent down Julie Sweeney because
that sentence is inhumane.
I mean,
and there's no two tier justice.
I've got to ask you about Lammy because how shameless is this guy?
Connor,
look,
look,
look at the post delighted Delighted to be back
in Washington, D.C., supporting Keir Starmer. There is no relationship closer than that of the UK and
the U.S. Together, we will continue to do great things for our shared security and growth. There
he is, literally posting a picture of himself smiling with Trump as Blame Game said to him.
This you, David? Posting David Lammy previously having described Trump as deluded, dishonest,
xenophobic, narcissistic, no friend of Britain, not fit to hold public office,
let alone worthy of our country's highest honour in a banquet with the Queen.
Theresa May is selling out the UK to a serial liar and a cheat.
And there he is with Lammy today.
Your thoughts?
Well, I suppose the growth that Lammy is describing
is probably his waistline,
judging by the spread the White House
likely put on during lunch.
Look, I actually can't really blame David Lammy
because he's such an idiot.
He probably doesn't have object permanence.
He doesn't even remember he wrote that tweet
or that piece in the Times
calling Trump a neo-fascist, a KKK sympathizer
and a probable sexual assaulter.
Questionable allegations around Trump on all of those fronts,
given the growth of his minority vote share, his overwhelming popularity,
and E. Jean Carroll's case raising a few eyebrows with that infamous interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN.
Anyway, point being, David Lammy is not our brightest bulb.
He doesn't understand how the line of successions of kings works.
If you look at his mastermind performance, you would, well, think the mastermind is not our brightest bulb. He doesn't understand how the line of successions of kings works.
If you look at his mastermind performance, you would, well,
think the mastermind is not a term which best suits him.
And he's just one of many cadres of traitors within the Labour Party.
I mean, everyone remembers that he got up and said, we as Caribbean peoples, not British, by the way, Caribbean people,
so identifying with an ethnic in-group rather than his nation
that he purports
to represent in Parliament, demand reparations. And so he's currently opening up conversations
the Labour Party insists are not happening, but to the race grifters in Barbados who left the
Commonwealth to fall under the thumb of China, who are now saying we demand trillions of pounds in
funds because you gave us things like civilisation and the rule of law, I suppose. So yeah, David
Lammy, not shocked that he's turning on this pivot. It's pure cynicism by a very unpopular
Labour Party. And it's because they know that we're basically a US vassal state, whether they
like it or not. Why is the mainstream media, Connor, being so compliant when Niall Gardner
of the Heritage Foundation posted after the meeting a humiliation for Keir
Starmer in the White House, when the former Prime Minister Liz Truss posted after the meeting
President Trump and J.D. Vance are right about the threat to free speech in Britain and Europe.
That's why we are setting up a new free speech media network to take on the censors
and the supine legacy media. How can Ni see that how can liz see what i saw and yet all of the mainstream media
even the the daily mail is is saying this meeting was a great success oh it's for two reasons dan
because a lot of legacy media rely on having access to these politicians and gatekeeping non-traditional media outlets like you, me and whatever Liz has in the works out of being able to talk to politicians in press briefings.
This is why the Trump administration has taken great initiative to invite influencers and the likes of the Daily Wire to their White House press briefings and shut the Associated Press out instead for refusing to acknowledge the change of the Gulf of Mexico
to the Gulf of America. They are rewarding their friends and honest journalists rather than the
establishment hacks and vultures who would like to pick apart the carcass of the successful second
American revolution. And so these people, what they do is they align themselves with power. I
mean, the Sun is a great example of this. Even though Keir Starmer is radioactively unpopular,
they backed his Labour Party because they like to just permanently pick the winner,
even if they're not very popular with the public at all.
And then the second part of this, don't forget the BBC's charity arm,
which means that there's a fungible slush fund moving between their actual funding
and the sort of things that they pass along to various activists. They were being backed by
USAID. It turns out that wokeness wasn't this vast conspiracy, this Russian nesting doll of
universities and social media giants, etc, etc. It was just the US government funding
international gay race communism. So it's good that Trump and Musk have clipped the wings of that.
But now the media, of course, are shrieking and screaming because they've got to look for alternative sources of funding. And I wouldn't
be surprised if that gravy train is still flowing from various directions that they're worrying
is going to be stopped if Trump keeps investigating the US deep state. And again, we have just as much
a deep state over here in Britain as the US does. And so they're worried that Trump revolution to deliver democratic and
fiscal accountability to US voters and taxpayers will make its way over the Atlantic to Britain.
And that said gravy train will dry up for them too. Yes, indeed. Very well put. And I did think
it was quite ironic yesterday, that just as our mainstream media dinosaurs were arriving at the White House with Starmer,
the Trump administration had had a whole load of brilliant influencers like House and Habit and
Libs of TikTok, those types of people, into the White House to present to them the first tranche
of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Breaking right now, Katie Hopkins has made an audacious bid to become a Reform UK
MP. Let me show you what she shared on the matter. My open offer to stand for Reform UK
is on the record. More importantly, I stand with the ordinary and decent people in this country.
You are the best of us and I will continue to take the punches as hard as they come.
All we have to do is keep getting back up. Now, as a result of Katie Hopkins' tweet,
or I should say post on X, sorry, Elon, I try and get that that right there was a lot of excitement about this video
overnight from nigel forage could he have seen sense and welcomed katie hopkins into the reform
uk bosom watch at 7 15 tonight i take the stage here in hull at 7 45 i'm going to reveal who our
candidate is going to be who's going to run to be mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire.
I promise you, this is the biggest, most spectacular event
we've ever put on as a party.
The candidate is absolutely astonishing.
This will be quite something. You won't want to miss it.
Join us on the live stream from 7.15 onwards.
And look, he's a great hype man.
He's a great hype man, Nigel.
No one's going to take that away from him.
Some folk have said maybe the announcement disappointed slightly.
He posted on X, local hero Luke Campbell is the Reform UK candidate for mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire.
Now, Luke Campbell seems like a really great guy, actually. Great kid.
He was a top, top boxer, very, very successful, really brave, actually, for someone who has no experience in politics, who's always had to operate within that liberal sort of showbiz ecosystem to enter the world of politics in such a high profile manner.
However, he's not Katie Hopkins.
And let me bring in Connor Tomlinson on this, because Connor, I do wonder if this sort of is a suggestion.
I know you've obviously been, as we both describe ourselves, a critical friend to Reform UK.
We want them to do well, but we also want them to do the right thing.
And I just wonder if this is part of Reform UK's sort of slip and slide into the center ground. Let's select celebrities, you know,
who don't have a track record of perhaps posting
about Tommy Robinson five years ago.
Do you know what I mean?
What do you think, firstly, about Katie Hopkins' offer
and then about this selection?
Firstly, about Katie Hopkins' offer.
I mean, so Katie's involvement in politics as a big name preceded my time,
but obviously I was always aware of her
by cultural osmosis
because she was on ITV and The Apprentice
and always very outspoken in the fashion
that you are, Dan.
And I would like to say that her persecution
by the likes of Simon Danchuk,
who called the police on her
for being early ahead of pretty much everyone else,
say Mr. Robinson and Anne Cryer
and one journalist at the Times
on the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs.
Her treatment by the British state
and the members of the political establishment,
just abhorrent.
So she deserves our,
well, she wouldn't like our sympathy,
but she deserves our commendations
for being resilient on that.
As far as becoming a reform UK candidate,
I mean, so this tips into Luke Campbell a little bit
because I don't know Campbell's politics,
but I imagine he is a good representative
of the left behind working class lads
in places like the North or particularly Essex
in the sort of, you know,
boxing and football watching Essex men and their Barrett
new builds who have been left behind from working upwards into the middle class from
the working class roots by inflation and mismanagement of the economy post-COVID and because of immigration.
He represents those guys.
And so he's kind of a safe pair of hands.
Also, they're doing what Joe Rogan's done, where he's cross-pollinated MMA and comedy with politics.
And obviously they're trying to drag apolitical people
who watch the football and the boxing
and participate in working class sports culture
into getting more political.
And so I think that's probably a wise pick.
So I'm not going to'm not gonna trash luke campbell at all but i i would caution against
people thinking that you need all of the big all-stars in your coalition to just be mps
because what you need is a series of reform loyalists who will vote along with the party
while advisors and media spokespeople and political appointments,
when we eventually get control of the civil service, and I say we as in the broader national
populist movement, because, you know, I don't work for reform or anything, I just want to see them do
well and be the vehicle for revolution. When we control the civil service and wrestle it back
from said British deep stay, then those sorts of people who don't make it as MPs
can be moved in as advisors,
they can be moved in as media spokespeople,
and they might be better suited for setting policy
or for ripping the guts out of the deep state
than they do standing up in the House of Commons.
You know, it's not something I ever want to do, for example.
So even though Katie may well make a decent MP,
she's certainly got a silver tongue on her and can lash the opposition.
If she wants to run for that, she can make her bid for reform and reform can select it appropriately.
But it doesn't mean that she's iced out of the movement entirely just because she won't be sitting on the green benches.
I'm not speaking for reform. I'm just trying to get into their mindset in that sense. Yeah, the problem is I don't think she will be welcomed in to the movement at all.
Because right now Reform UK has a strategy.
And I know a lot of people don't like me disagreeing with any Reform UK strategy,
even though I've been very clear I voted for Reform UK.
I think Nigel Farage will be Prime Minister in 2029. I was actually the first person to predict that. But
this constantly playing it safe, I think risks Reform UK becoming a bit too much like the
Conservative Party was with its candidate
selection. And we know the candidate selection at CCHQ, the types of people who they would pick,
very safe in the sort of centre ground, was a huge issue in terms of why the Conservative Party
became a left-wing party. So I hear what you're saying, but I think it is also going to be very,
very important that Reform UK does have the right people as MPs. And look, I'm not saying
Luke Campbell isn't the right guy. I'm certainly not. Like you, I don't know anything about his
politics, actually. I know him as a boxer. I know him as a celebrity. And I do think it's sensible,
but I don't think it's sensible to thrust Katie Hopkins out. Do you
see what I mean? So my view is, yes, Luke Campbell, great. You should be part of the coalition.
Absolutely. But I would also like to see Katie Hopkins speaking at a Reform UK event. Matt
Goodwin speaks at pretty much every Reform UK event. He's been clear that he's not at this
stage a member of the party.
So why can't Katie Hopkins speak? Do you see what I mean?
Yeah, I think as far as talking heads go, Katie Hopkins' worst sin is perhaps a bit of contrarianism.
So I would think that she, and again, I don't know her personally. I think that she would be the sort of person that reform should accept as an endorsement, even if they don't necessarily want to run her as an MP.
I will say one thing on the Conservative candidate selection, is worse than reforms. And it's not because they
were carrying the Ming vase delicately over the line and appearing to be more soft and centrist
than they actually were, which I think hopefully is reforms strategy. I think that they've got a
lot more room in the Overton window to occupy than they necessarily know. And I think they're
probably racing to catch up with it a little bit. If Farage's video in late January is anything to go by when he said about mass deportations,
finally, that Trump's doing it, it won him the popular vote, it seems to be working. And even
though the country's different, the principle is the same, which means that he might be rolling
back on his statements made to Winston Marshall and Stephen Edgington and finally catching up to
the Rupert Lowe position, which we all want. The problem is not that the Conservatives were so soft and tepid as a electoral strategy. The
problem is that they, one, selected on the grounds of DEI, which David Cameron wrote in the Times
about, boasted about in 2022 with the headlines, we were too pale, male and stale, so I decided to
do something about that, emulating Blair, who he and Gove called the master, by drawing up all women and diversity, non-white candidate shortlists,
and picking according to characteristics rather than according to competence. I know Fraser
Nelson will throw a fit if I suggest that any Conservative candidate is a DEI hire, but
many of them were, unfortunately. And the other problem as well is there is, let's say, deep moral corruption within CCHQ.
I know this, as does some other prominent spokespeople who were removed from the Conservative Party for opposing child gender transition, for example.
But also because there are some questionable characters, some permanent faces in the revolving door of Britain's deep state who are friends with the likes of Sue Gray or Michael Gove, I'm referring to for example Dougie Smith and Manira Mirza, who have a sordid
past and questionable motivations in the present. So both ideologically and personally their
behaviours bring the party into disrepute, yet they hold a lot of sway over who is employed as advisers and in the civil service and who is selected from the sort of Oxbridge cohort of candidates that the likes of David Cameron and Gove would approve of.
And so their ideas and also their selection criteria on the basis of race and sex have driven the Tory party's credibility into the ground and put people in the Commons who are unfit for governing. And now after the election, unfortunately, because they gave all those people safe seats, it truly is, as Liz said,
the survival of the wettest, which is why the Tories and the doldrums and reform looks to be
ascendant in the polls. Indeed, indeed. Now, the other big development with Reform UK this week
was that they received the endorsement of Dominic Cummings, at least for the local
elections. And then he is immediately swept into a controversy, which is why I think maybe Reform
UK think we don't want these controversial figures. Here's the controversy. Connor,
I'm sure most people will agree with Dominic Cummings here. So, you know, that absolute
weirdo, jobless loser, Femi Oluwole?
Do you know who I mean?
He always wears tight t-shirts and weird guy.
Very, very weird guy.
I never talk about him on the show because I think he's totally irrelevant.
But I only am here because it dragged Dominic Cummings in.
So this weird guy tweeted,
In news that should shock nobody,
Dominic Cummings, the man behind the Vote Leave campaign,
says Nigel Farage should be prime minister. A full on racist uprising was always the end destination for Brexit.
Now, Dominic Cummings replied, saying on brand for black race, obsessive Romaniac retard Femi to accuse me of something that he disproves himself and what he screenshots.
He is a leading light of the rejoined maniacs.
May he be their TV champion and do for them what he did for the second referendum campaign.
Don't tell no lie about me and I won't tell truths about you.
Now, I love Dominic Cummings' response, to be totally honest, not offended by it at all.
But you've got mainstream columnists, Connor, like Dan Hodges, clutching their pearls and saying, when is everyone going to call this out? And that's the
reason, I guess, why Reform UK has been so careful about welcoming controversial folk into the fold.
So two things on that. Actually, three. First of all, I don't trust Dominic Cummings as far
as I can throw him, knowing people that work with him in the government. He is as much a
creature of the deep state as Michael Goveman and a Mazda. So people do not be fooled.
I think this is actually a Trojan horse containment operation to deploy Dominic Cummings as someone who is endearing to the online right for criticizing the Johnson government for being woefully incompetent to position someone who looks like a competent Silicon Valley style tech bro adjacent to reform to then cut off some of their
energy at the knees. So again, I think it's a containment operation by the exact same kinds
of people that have ruined the Conservative Party. But the second point is, though, on Dominic
Cummings' response, to Femi, I say, if you can call us a racist, we can call you a retard. Because
racist is a, as it has been until you wore out the word and has now made it have
no meaning racist was a career death sentence because uniquely to the christian english speaking
west we regard racism as a kind of moral sin because we we don't think that uh the content
of someone's character should be superseded by the color of their skin and we don't think that
your moral dignity is dependent on your level of melanin um i think that femi's moral dignity is
well betrayed by what the horrific images that are going to haunt my dreams that you're showing
on screen right now dan sorry about that yeah cheers for that uh my eyes feel sexually assaulted
um for walking around topless and and strangely not getting a second date after
serenading poor women in a park during lockdown with his keyboard um and and the third the third
and the third and final thing is uh femi's own brand of like race-baiting identity politics
is becoming so radioactively unpopular that this is why said backlash has to be manufactured and inflated and elevated.
You've even got the likes of literal communist Ash Sarkar producing a new book and going around mainstream media,
trying to rewrite her record on identifying woke as being literally redistribution of power, wealth, and land across race, gender, and class lines.
So literally like sexuality and sex and race-based communism.
This is very unpopular because, again, of the American election.
This is very unpopular because of the rise of reform, of national rally, of the AFD in Germany,
even though they've been gatekept out of the coalition.
And so Femi's brand of race-baiting politics is actually on the out.
And this is where the media are getting even more hysterical because most people are turning around and even if they
don't like cummings personally are saying well cummings response is completely fair if you can
call us racist and try and end our career we can call you a retard because your response to anything
is always to cry foul and racist and frankly it isn't intelligent and it
isn't working very well put very well put carlos thompson i do not disagree at all
who really runs britain what is our equivalent of the deep state? As you know, for many years, I have spoken about the British Snivel Service
and the completely caustic effect they have on democracy for the United Kingdom.
But now Conor Tomlinson, the contributor to Courage Media,
co-host of the New Culture Forum's Deprogrammed podcast, has gone in-depth after the news that we just saw there that Keir Starmer's Downing Street has now hired Boris Johnson's advisor, Manera Mirza, the former communist, to set policy on multiculturalism. As Connor says, Merza is married to Tory fixer, former sex club entrepreneur Dougie Smith, both of whom made the British deep state for many years. And what you've discovered
is absolutely fascinating. But a lot of it comes down to this couple, Dougie Smith, Manera Merz,
described as probably the most famous couple in Britain, or the most important couple in Britain or the most important couple in Britain that no one has really heard of and the
odd connections that they have with the people who really make the decisions in Britain. So
what have you found out? So Munira Mirza, for those who don't know, is the daughter of second
generation Pakistani immigrants who studied at the University of Kent, my former university,
and Matt Goodwin's. Funnily enough, under Professor Frank Faraday, Frank Faraday ran
the Revolutionary Communist Party. He then ran Living Marxism, and Living Marxism, I think it
was in 2010, after a libel suit converted into spiked.com. That's relevant for later. Faradi is also involved in MCC Brussels and the European
Conservative, where my friend and deprogrammed co-host Harrison Pitt has worked. Munir Maza
studied under Faradi and learned a lot about Antonio Gramsci, the long march through the
institution's progenitor. Well, it was Rudy Dutch that came up with that term, student activist in
the US. But the idea that Marxists shouldn't wage a bottom-up class-based revolution, violence in
the streets against the proletariat, from the proletariat to the bourgeoisie. Instead, Marxists
should infiltrate institutions, turn the Marxist over time and enforce Marxism top down. And so
when I put in there a former communist, I mean
that she was a former communist in her politics, but remains a communist in her tactics. And so
Moser left the Revolutionary Communist Party to work initially for Michael Gove at Policy Exchange,
crafting the Gove and Cameron takeover of the Tory party and refashioning it in Blair's image,
and then became a policy advisor for Boris Johnson when he was London mayor, and then moved eventually into Downing Street when Boris Johnson was elected
prime minister. She resigned in 2022 over Boris Johnson's suggestion that Keir Starmer had
willfully refused to prosecute Jimmy Savile while director of public prosecutions. That resignation
was leaked to a chat called James Forsyth at The Spectator.
Now, James Forsyth is married to Allegra Stratton, the former Downing Street press secretary who
resigned in disgrace after ITV procured leaked video of her boasting about breaking lockdown
rules. James Forsyth was also one of the director of communications or an advisor under Rishi Sunak
after Liz Truss was cued out and he was installed in number 10 Downing Street and he was a long-time editor of
The Spectator while Camille Badenoch worked there so it's very interesting how all of these leaks
all go through one particular person and one particular outlet Michael Gove obviously now being
the editor of The Spectator Gove being a long-time friend to Smith and Merza. Smith and Merza have
been involved
in selecting candidates for the Conservative Party
and setting policy for a long time
because Dougie Smith is known
as the Conservatives' equivalent of the wolf
from Pulp Fiction.
He is a mysterious figure,
very few photos of which exist online,
who is said to have a hand in Conservative policy
and particularly candidate selection.
While at the exact same time, although he insists that this work had no crossover whatsoever,
he was running orgies in stately homes that required wealthy couples to submit photos of
themselves before they could attend. There's no suggestion at all that the same people that
turned up to these orgies, presumably with photos of them in compromising positions,
could be conservative candidates. Of course, I'm sure Dougie Smith is just consulted because he's
an absolute mastermind in policy, from which you can see because Smith and Mercer's particular
policy agenda led the Conservatives to their worst defeat in 100 years. And Smith and Mercer are also-
But Conor, before you just go go on can i just interrupt there to get
some clarification because folk are going to be absolutely shocked by this and it's not in a pearl
clutching type of manner it's because this is the conservative party which is very probably quite
rightly careful about the types of people that it brings on for candidate selection and you're saying effectively the guy behind this got into politics as a sex party boss
at the same time he got into politics i would never of course suggest that this had any crossover
dan i'll leave other suggestions to nadine dories in her famous book
the plot where she revealed by the way that uh the character dr no the enigmatic figure who you know
threatened ex-girlfriends and things like that was apparently also dougie smith and um those are some
very outlandish accusations but i will note the dean dories has yet to be sued so i can only assume
there's an element of truth to them. People might be
questioning, okay, well, what level of influence do they have? Well, first of all, Smith and Merza
introduced Rishi Sunak to his political mentor via Forsyth, Forsyth being the best man at Rishi
Sunak's wedding, by the way. So they are credited for getting Rishi Sunak into politics and also
therefore involved in the political machinations to oust Boris, then oust Liz and install Sunak.
But also in 2022, when Kemi Badenoch decided to make a bid for Tory leader, Michael Gove came out and endorsed Kemi and his endorsement was reported in The Spectator by one James Forsyth.
Very curious how it's linked to Rishi, linked to Munira Mirza, linked to Go,
and linked to Kemi. And the other links to Kemi are particularly interesting because Munira Mirza actually established the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, which then produced the Sewell
Report, which is the speech that made Kemi Badenoch famous for arguing against critical race theory
in the Commons, and in a Conservative Home piece that also made Kemi's career and endeared her
to the Conservative Home base, which is why she topped routinely polls of Conservative members as their favourite Conservative cabinet minister, the article was at Badenoch visibly conservative.
The quote is, the commission wouldn't have been formed at all, in my view, by the report, by the piece's author, had it not been for Munira Mirza, another disruptor targeted by the left.
The former head of Downing Street Policy Unit drove the commission's mission,
just as Michael Gove had pushed for a full government response to it a year on.
The same names keep cropping up as having pushed Badenoch to the top,
though I do wonder if said same names pulling the strings of the Tory party
are currently regretting the fact that Badenoch has driven the Tories down to terminal decline in the polls.
I know it has been utterly a disastrous decision, which I knew it would be.
So the point is, why were they pushing her so hard?
I guess what all of this doesn't explain, though, Connor,
is why on earth Labour would want to get involved with this dirty, sort of dodgy and incestuous type approach to the deep state? What do they think Manera, Merza and presumably by connection
Dougie Smith can offer them? I'm not necessarily sure, though I will point out that Nadine Dorries and her various sources in
the plot says this small group have been friends with Sue Gray for quite some time including Michael
Gove people might be confused as to why a Labour Party Mandarin who was appointed the head of the
party gate investigation and then moved to Keir Starmer's chief of staff is friends with the people
that can well have an influence over conservative candidate selection and policy. And it's because they're two cheeks of the same
backside. They're the uniparty. And so what they're trying to do is fashion both Labour and
Conservatives into a Hobson's choice that implement the same policies on the British public who don't
want them, no matter who they vote for. And so they craft both parties into enforcing their
agenda. The final thing I will say as well is that they are very clever about, let's say, reputation smearing their opponents.
I have been assured by people that know Smith and Merza that they aren't what they seem and they have, let's say, decade or so, and the country's been in absolute, like, falling down in its GDP per capita and its social cohesion,
I would question the credibility on that front.
And questioning it openly does get you smeared by their allies.
So myself, Harrison Pitt, Stephen Edgington, Nick Dixon, others have been attacked as racial identitarians,
white identitarians and the far right and the terminally
online right, or very online right, in the pages of, ta-da, Spiked, the former living Marxism paper
of the Revolutionary Communist Party by Inaya Falah and Iman, who used to work for GB News,
funnily enough, and actually shared a sofa with me at one point on Mark Dolan's ill-fated show,
so she would know I'm not some sort of fascist beast lurking underneath
beds. But nevertheless, she decided to smear me right before December. Anaya Iman has invited
Merza to speak routinely at her charity. It's called the Equiano Project, and of course,
Spiked being the outlet of choice for Merza's former revolutionary Communist Party allies.
So it seems that this
network have tendrils wrapping around various press outlets like Spectator, like Spiked,
and they don't like it when people suggest that Kimi Badenok may not have been the best horse to
back. Absolutely fascinating analysis from Conor Tomlinson. And much more from Connor in just one minute over whether Suella Braverman
is right to say that she can never be English, or should we be listening to Owen Jones,
you know, the guy that says a woman can become a bloke just like that.
But first, the reason you're watching this show is that you know it's becoming
increasingly difficult to trust mainstream media or the so-called fact checkers who claim to
determine which facts are true. And come on, we know there's so much good reason for that,
given the debate over free speech, the controversy surrounding Brexit and how Trump and other
politicians are challenging the status quo portrayed every day. But I've found the solution. It's called Ground News. And it's the best way to stay
informed and cut through media bias and narrative so you can get the facts for yourself. Go to
ground.news forward slash outspoken to check it out. Let me show you this incredible website and
app in action. So I want to look at the recent speech.
It was amazing, wasn't it? US Vice President J.D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference,
totally tearing into European governments, including ours here in the UK,
over the total trampling over of free speech. And you can see clearly in one place that 361
sources are covering this story. Ground News
instantly shows how the story is being covered though by the media, broken down by whether it
leans to the left or the right. This is called the Bias Distribution Service. And if you scroll down,
you can actually then see every article about this topic broken down by the political position
and ownership of the publication. So in this case,
quite clearly Newsmax, GB News gave fair and accurate coverage on how Vance had finally had the guts to point out these uncomfortable truths to European leaders. But by stark contrast,
left-wing publications went the other way. HuffPost claimed the speech left all of Europe aghast,
while The Independent decided to go on the fact that Vance had made a joke about Elon Musk. Who cares?
What's more, though, is that Ground News gets to know you,
providing you with the news stories you're interested in,
but also analysing your own biases.
So my favourite feature, actually, is their Blindspot feed.
And it surfaces upwards of 20 stories daily
that you might not be hearing about because of the
corruption of the mainstream media. Now, from a macro level, I know you love the news, but don't
trust the legacy media. So Ground News gives you the tools to understand the truth about what is
going on in the world. It's the only way I read the news, allowing you to see through media bias,
manipulative narratives, and not relying on the MSM effectively to define the truth for you.

Breaking right now, Suella Braverman has sent the left into a tailspin by declaring in a bombshell column for the Daily Telegraph, I will never be truly English. Now, this is in response to a story that we have discussed a lot on this show,
Fraser Nelson versus Constantine Kissin on the Trigonometry podcast. But what's so
massive about this, of course, is that Suella is a senior political figure. And as she puts it on X, a proud British English, sorry, a proud British Asian. And of
course, I'm not English. I never thought that was contentious. But then I saw the exchange between
Fraser Nelson and Konstantin Kissel on Trigonometry Podcast and realised that too many people are
nervous about asserting English identity for what it is, ethnic, racial and based on ancestry.
If we can't even agree on who the English are, how on earth are we ever going to defend the culture
and values of this country? Now, of course, the usual suspects immediately responded,
including Owen Jones, who posted, oh, don't be so effing ridiculous. You English get over it and Julie Birchall quite rightly
responded to him saying white man explains to brown woman what she really is then JK Rowling
weighed it saying man I'm a woman Owen Jones I not only agree I'd be honored to hold you your
code while you help yourselves to women's rights woman I'm not truly English, Jones, don't be so effing ridiculous. And the
thing is, the thing is the left themselves have quite happily gone down this path. For example,
let's look at the former Scottish First Minister when he arrived in Pakistan.
I was the first Scottish Pakistani to become First Minister of Scotland. So I am a son of so conor tomlinson contributor to courage media co-host of deprogrammed on the new culture forum
is this a case that if you're on the left and if you're a person of colour, you get to pick and choose what your ethnicity is,
depending on what situation you're in. And that's totally fine.
Yes, because they're trying to abolish all categories and ensure that all restraints, cultural, familial,
even biological in the case of sex or ethnicity, don't hold you back from making your absolute choice of freedom of will.
The problem is sex and ethnicity, because you can trace a person's lineage back through their
families. And if the families are one long unbroken chain of a clearly identifiable ethnic group,
then they are of that ethnicity. Those are biological realities. It doesn't mean you're
more moral for being one ethnicity or one sex than the other. It's just a category. And this is acknowledged by particularly foreign nations who aren't like Northwest Europeans or the English-speaking, very liberal, sentimental people who abhor racism, because they're a lot more tribal. terms of how do I advantage my family and my ethnic in-group and even my religion in many cases and that's Hamza Yusuf. Hamza Yusuf is literally saying there I'm a blood and soil
Pakistani nationalist while at the same time he stands up in Holyrood and decries the whiteness
of Celtic peoples and not quite a true Scotsman Fraser Nelson if he hates his fellow Scottish
countrymen for the colour of their skin and so it is acknowledged by other countries that ethnicity
has an influence over loyalty and culture and familial belonging, but then leftists in the
ability to demolish all categories and make all sorts of identity entirely voluntary, and also at
the same time a cudgel with which to beat their revolutionary enemies, which is particularly
straight white men, they they play this
mott and bailey game of where they they say oh englishness is an identity that you can opt into
but also um being of a non-white ethnicity means that you are always oppressed and therefore always
entitled to certain things so it's it's just it's just classic like linguistic subversion and
deception to advance the revolution and and the the two responses that I enjoyed were not just J.K. Rowling's one.
We tweeted something very similar because I said that if Suella had come out as a man,
you would have believed her, Owen. So why does her saying she's not English offend you so much?
But the other response I loved was Peter Whittle's of the New Culture Forum,
where he parodied Owen Jones in the comments and ratioed him on likes and said,
so Owen, are you just a straight man who hasn't met the right girl yet?
Because then you can get over it. I don't think owen would be quite so delighted at that
suggestion so he should take suella's word for it yes that was a good tweet actually i i think i've
i've got that here uh to have a look at the other thing that's happening i mean a lot of this
extreme wokery seems to come out of sc, Connor, which forever shocks me, actually.
But The National, which is effectively the in-house newspaper of the SNP, has argued that the phrase Muslim grooming gangs must be scrapped.
They say it's according to a new report which argues the term is inaccurate and perpetuates prejudice.
And of course, who do they use as a picture to illustrate that?
Suella Braverman. All tied in, right?
Yeah, quite, because Suella's one of the only politicians
who's been brave enough not just to call this out,
but actively do something about it.
I mean, the task force she established after the GB News documentary
by Charlie Peters, which was an excellent piece of journalism,
in the first year of operation, identified 550 potential perpetrators and protected over 4,000 victims. So she can credibly say that
she's assisted the girls who were raped, tortured, in some cases murdered by these predominantly
Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs, familiarly related by the way, and also betrayed by the
British state, both the deep state, the police and frontline politicians who should be held to account for this just as much as the rapists need to be held to account for it.
And the reason this is a, and I've written about this for Courage Media before, the reason it's
completely valid to call this Muslim rape gangs isn't just because of the ethnic in-group preference
shown by the Pakistani community who knew that their husbands, brothers, fathers, sons and cousins
were doing this abuse and covered it
up because they didn't see white girls as worthy of equal moral consideration they saw them as
as easy meat or deserving of abuse um they saw them as deserving of abuse because they were
non-muslims um yasmin ali harbi brown actually went and she's a she's a muslim leftist as we
know went and interviewed the muslim women who were living in the Pakistani community at the time who were related to men who had perpetrated the crimes and had asked them, what do you think about this?
And they had said, well, look at the way these girls dress by by Allah.
They they they bring it upon themselves.
There were there were perpetrators that forced the girls to stand in the corner and shouted Quran verses at them as they abused them. In 2017,
the Rotherham perpetrators yelled Allah Akbar as they were led out of the dock after being
sentenced. And then in 2024, the family members of the rapists, I believe in Rotherham as well,
after the sentences were read out, the girls, so the daughters, the children of the perpetrators
shouted out as their fathers being sentenced, I love you, dad.
So there is very much an ethnic and religious in-group motivation that causes the abuse of these white working class girls.
Suella has been brave enough to call it out.
And she's been smeared by the likes of Dr. Ella Cockbane, Hope Not Hate and the mainstream media for this bravery.
So I think Suella should be commended and the likes of the Nationals should be ignored.
So interesting.
You mentioned Yasmin Alibaya-Brown.
Connor, I just had to end the week
showing her total insanity.
And it's so funny to me,
the mainstream media keep giving her a platform
as if she's a normal representative of Brit.
So, you know
trump's ai video of gaza or his vision of gaza as posted on uh truth social this was yasmin
alibaya brown's response on the jeremy vine show that's from truth social your reaction i just want to cry i just want to cry
over 50 000 people in gaza have been killed and here we have it the west
i have nothing to say well let's just go and look through if only she had nothing to say. Well, let's just go and look through the... If only she had nothing to say, Connor, right?
Yeah, quite.
I appreciate her indignation citing Hamas statistics
for the number of casualties, by the way,
and not highlighting the number of Hamas terrorists killed
and all the civilians which are the fault of Hamas
because they shelter their weapons caches
and terror hideouts under schools and hospitals.
But also I appreciate her equal indignation at the time of the rape gangs for all the rape gang victims i i
really appreciate her at the start of the year speaking out just as forcefully for those girls
who have been um ritualistically i must have missed that yeah yeah funny that isn't it um it's
the revolution only ever goes in one direction, I suppose. Exactly. Conor Tomlinson, brilliant stuff.
Thank you so much.
We'll speak very soon.
Of course, you can find Conor's work on Courage Media
