I'm Dan Wooten. This is Outspoken, episode number 200. I cannot believe that. And it is a special edition of the show today because we are continuing our countdown of the 50 worst people in the UK today. So you might remember last year featured James O'Brien, Gary Lineker, Dr. Scholl atop of the list. However, the past year has seen a huge amount of change in the United Kingdom. So the brand new list is currently being unveiled. On yesterday's show, we saw the likes of, goodness me, we saw the likes of David Tennant, Steve Bray, Whomsy Useless, Sheila Fogarty, Hugh Grant, all make the first list. But now, with Alex Phillips, we will be counting down number 40

to number 31. The only rule, by the way, is that the entrants must be living primarily in the UK, meaning that well-known expats like Prince Harry and Shamima Begum miss out, unfortunately.

A new entry at number 40 on our list of the worst people in the UK

today in Ed Balls, the Good Morning Britain propagandist. Now, the deep state censorship tool, the off communists, have worked wonders to see GB News cucked and its outspoken presenters silenced. But they have no problem with this failed politician literally interviewing his own wife. Yes, during disgusting controversies over the past year, like Labour's Southport massacre cover-up, he lobbed softballs at his bed buddy Yvette Cooper with Susanna Reid nodding pathetically along. Don't even get me started on his centrist dad podcast with George Osborne. But Alex Phillips, great to see you, by the way. I guess in some ways this might be unfair on Ed Balls, the human being, right? Because for me, his entry on this list is all about double standards in the media. Like how on earth is it possible for someone like you to be

silenced during the election campaign, for someone like Nigel Farage to be constantly under attack because of his role on GB News, yet Ed Balls is literally allowed to interview his wife. It's nuts. Yeah, but this has been the case for the long time. What's good for the goose isn't good for the gander. In terms of left wing, the rules just don't apply to you. And the same is true with people who are in the sort of commentary at in circulation. I think of people like Alistair Campbell, who lost his rag at me once on Newsnight, almost came to blows, is a bully, an ex-alcoholic, a very unpleasant man, a man who's proven to have lied, a man who, frankly, allegedly could be held culpable for

some pretty serious accusations. And yet he's paraded around the commentary circuit like a prize horse. And it was fine, wasn't it, when David Lammy had his show on LBC. That's OK, nothing to see here. But as soon as people in the right wing get to go on the airwaves, because, of course, for a long time, Brexiteers were just crowded out. They weren't allowed. They were untouchables. They were ostracised from mainstream media. But as soon as, you know, the TV execs suddenly thought, well, hold on, our audience rather like this Brexit business. Our audience quite like right wing people. Our audience are tuning out from the centre's dadism. Let's get some of these folks on the other side on. Wow. All of a sudden, then there needs to be extra regulations to make sure dangerous people like us are not allowed on the airwaves. And so in theory, that should have provoked a massive problem for someone like Ed Balls,

who isn't just himself a former shadow chancellor. That's not just being elected. That's an extremely senior position in a political party, a position he held for a very long time. But he's married to the current Home Secretary. He still goes to things like Labour Conference. And yet I went to the reform rally on Friday. Could I speak at the rally? No, because my own employer would be subject to a massive headache from Ofcom if I then went to present my programme. So it is about the duplicity and the hypocrisy of the media where they will come up with a load of rules and regulations to stop politicians from being on the airwaves.

But only if those politicians have the politics that they fundamentally disagree with. Totally. But the thing is, Alex, the off-communists, right, are just a tool now to shut down dissenting voices, to effectively stop the media turning to the right. But I find it astonishing that when it came to Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper in that interview, they didn't even investigate. Did they not even investigate? I mean, that's just shocking, isn't it? Because that's clearly, you know, compromising.

Because there were thousands of complaints because for once the right sort of did the same thing that the left does, Alex, and were like, oh, let's organise and let's get the complaints in. But it didn't matter because they just ignored all of the complaints and didn't even bother to investigate. No, and this is always how it works, isn't it? And I'm glad you pointed out that the right were doing what the left do because it isn't necessarily Ofcom themselves who suddenly trigger these investigations. The left are very good at weaponizing anything, using litigation, using regulation, using, you know, infiltrating systems, complaining to the police if someone's done something. This is very much in their playbook, which is why when people on the right wing pop up on television, there's a slew of complaints because they have an army of people ready to lodge those complaints, which isn't something the right wing tends to do. But it's utterly ridiculous that it wasn't even investigated because if it had been investigated, it's quite clear he was interviewing his own wife. I mean, that really cannot be regarded as neutral, especially during the time of a political campaign

and not just, you know, we're talking about a very senior politician, not some sort of man interviewing his local councillor wife or something like that. We're talking about this actually very much affecting politics because her position is so senior and his show has a big legacy audience. And at the time, by the way, they were speaking, I'll never forget it. I will never forget the interview because it was during the so-called riots after the Southport massacre,

and the point of the interview, and they literally admitted during the interview that they had been discussing this at home, so effectively pillow talk and in bed. And it was all about, we've got to crack down on social media. That was the narrative. So it was effectively like an anti-free speech sort of thing. And indeed, we now learn that Yvette Cooper knew a hell of a lot at that point about Axel Rudacabana, about the truth of that man, that terrorist, that she was hiding from the public. So a lot of those people who were so-called rioters, many of whom were not violent at all, were actually correct in terms of what they were protesting about. But anyway, let's not get onto that. Let's move on in our countdown to number 39, a new entry from the professional victim, Ava Santina. Now, this man-hating MSN political pundit claims to be a

died-in-the-wool lefty. That was until Lawrence Fox said he didn't want to shag her on my former GB News show, and she took the money to pose for a Daily Mail front page calling for the full-on censorship of the British media. By the way, I stand by the fact she is beautiful. Saying so doesn't make me a misogynist. I was just trying to provide a little bit of balance, you know. But I think to me, Alex Phillips, Ava Santino represents this new breed of the left wing commentariat who I think are going to struggle in the independent space because the moment the Daily Mail opened their checkbook, there she was. Yeah, I mean, this is the thing, isn't it, about the left wing. They're suddenly realising their views aren't particularly popular anymore,

that the general public aren't really interested in them. If it wasn't for the sort of sympathetic appointees and the czars in legacy media who push them and promote them, they wouldn't really have public facing careers because in and of themselves, they're hardly sort of, you know, making moves and tearing things up and garnering a huge following. And yet they still need to earn their keep, don't they? And it's amazing how many Damascene revolutions there are along the way with people who suddenly go, well, I used to think this way way but actually the scales have fallen from my eyes and people who are suddenly adopting a more right-wing approach

because it's the new rock and roll because it suddenly is proven to be popular proven to be where the market's at um I mean look Ava in love herself a nice woman I've met her plenty of times she's always friendly to get along with but she is symptomatic of a huge problem we've had for a long time which is this sort of lionization and beatification of people on the left wing there's a guy at the moment i can't remember his name but he's a sort of former banker and now he's a socialist and you can almost hear the gears you know grinding away as they desperately try and pump this man out onto every channel and every platform because he says things like wealth needs to be redistributed, the wealthy people need to be

taxed more, despite somebody coming to these revelations after he himself has made millions. Because it's just they can't help getting off, they don't get off their ideological juggernaut, do they? They have know ram raid us constantly with their broken belief system that people now can see has devastated the world um i mean ava like anybody else has got to make her money and i think marketing forces are now dictating that money isn't in leftism well no indeed i guess i would just say in in terms of my personal experience that the only reason that discussion with Lawrence Fox took place at all on GB News is because she had been so dismissive on the concept of there needing to be a minister for men. So dismissive of the shocking suicide statistics when it comes to men in the United Kingdom. And I do think she wants to be a professional victim because, of course, you know the pressure that I came under and everything,

Alex, and I attempted to contact her and she just wasn't having it. So I think she used that situation. But let's move on in our list to number 38. And it's Jonathan Reynolds, a new entry for the lying business secretary and look of course the UK's incompetent Labour cabinet would hire someone for the business brief Alex who couldn't even be honest about his own CV and let's be honest his mortifying apology for lying about being a solicitor should have immediately resulted in his resignation but But of course, the corrupted MSM let him get away with it because he's one of their guys. He has zero business experience, but his wife is a key advisor to Slippery Starmer. And I think, look, he made a big mistake. He apologized for it, but no one in the MSM would ever have allowed a Conservative minister to quite literally mislead Parliament about what their job had been, Alex.

Yeah, I know. It is actually ridiculous. I mean, at least we don't really stand much chance of getting accused of libel by him because he never even became a solicitor, did he but he didn't see it through and you know why he didn't see it through because he was one of those young political people you know who just got a gig very early on didn't want to be in the real world alex and did you know not a single cabinet member at present has ever run a business not one has ever been in the private sector or run a business, which says a lot, doesn't it? But it is, again, symptomatic of this sort of two-tier system, the system where if you do something on the right wing, you're terrible. People are going, resign, resign. When are you going to resign? Are you going to sack him? But you don't hear those

same questions and challenges being put towards the Labour Party. And when you see the things that are going on, you know, Rachel Reeves' incred TV, his completely made-up baloney CV, some of the other, you know, behaviours of people in that cabinet, and no-one ever says, oh, are you going to sack him? Are you going to resign? Is he going to be replaced? Did he lie to Parliament? And these people, worst of all, are just downright incompetent. They can't even lie very well.

So, again, it's another symptom of a far bigger problem that we have, which is the fact that leftism is constantly associated with goodness, with fit for government, with righteousness, with moral rectitude. And usually it's none of those things. No, absolutely not. Absolutely not. But of course the business secretary is just a political activist, right? A political activist who very briefly trained in Manchester as a junior solicitor.

I mean, isn't it astonishing that out of all of their hundreds of MPs, virtually all of them, are just dyed-in-the-wool Labour activists. And that's why they got their jobs. And I believe, Alex, that's why the country is in deep, deep trouble. But moving on in our list to number 37, and she's plummeted 10 points from last year. This is Sangeeta Miska, the race baiting, axed LBC loudmouth. Now, the hard-left broadcaster has fallen down the list this year because she was axed, of course, from her show on the Labour Broadcasting Company. Why she was axed depends on which nasty lefty you believe. Her allies say it was for her anti-Israel interviews,

while her former colleague, James O'Brien, insists her ratings were actually really bad. How kind of him. But she still operates in a new lefty gang, including fellow Axt LBC host Carol Vorderman and Axt GB News pundit Narendra Kerr. And so, of course, when she lost the LBC show, Alex, she did fall down the list because she has lost a lot of her influence on the left. She hasn't launched anything successful independently. However, it is very, very interesting, isn't it? How a bit like on the right with GB News, you're only allowed to operate within a certain Overton window.

Right, exactly. you're only allowed to operate within a certain of it and window right exactly and isn't it funny how when they get booted up because they don't perform very well they all sort of gang up together and decide they're booted up for other nefarious reasons and it must be targeting them because they're a woman or you know they can't get rid of that sort of victim status um and good it's nice to see the world healing it's nice to see sort of human nature winning the day at large when all of a sudden you realise that the companies are now turning around and do you know what, Dan? I've heard gossip actually.

The global have looked at their line-up and gone, this isn't where the audience is at. We need to start getting people on board with different politics other than just Nick Ferrari. We need to get people who represent the wider world view. They're looking at election results. They're looking at polling, suddenly going to say we can't stick our heads in the wider worldview. They're looking at election results. They're looking at polling, suddenly going to say,

we can't stick our heads in the sand anymore. And farewell to these people who once got paid ludicrous sums of money for being not very intelligent, not very entertaining, and in no way in touch with the people of Britain. It's great to see finally that this automatic accelerant,

this automatic promotional opportunity or upper hands that people got simply for being Labour or left wing seems to be beginning to crumble. And I think this is going to happen more and more right, Alex, because we are seeing a complete failure by the left wing media to hold the Labour government to account. And indeed, I actually think it's something the right-wing media was pretty good at when it came to the Conservatives. So, for example, I think of my time on talk radio, and all of the talk radio presenters at that point,

you know, Julia Hartley-Brew and Mike Graham, we were hammering Boris Johnson over lockdown every single day. We hammered Theresa May over Brexit every single day. But they're so tribal that this government, which let's be honest, has done appalling things, is not being held to account by the left wing media. And so I think the ratings will keep going down. Yeah, and not before the election, not since the election. And it won't happen because, you know, sadly, a lot of people in legacy media, in order to get to those positions, they had to go to the best journalism schools.

To go to the best journalism schools, they had to have gone to the best universities. To go to the best universities, they had to have gone to the best schools. And then to get into the profession is so nepotistic. You have to know people who work in a newsroom to get a leg up. So it's always going to be children of politicians, children of other broadcasters. And so what happens is you get a load of people who they live in an echo chamber. The only people they ever meet have exactly the same politics as they do. And they're not exposed to the real world. I don't know the last time an actual BBC correspondent or LBC presenter found themselves having fish and chips

on a seafront or going to a Wetherspoons for an all day breakfast or a mixed grill. I mean, they kind of regard people in the sort of huge underbelly of society, the majority of people who are the working classes and the lower middle classes as disgusting aliens. But at the end of the day, that's your audience. That's real Britain. These are people who we know, Dan, and who we love and who we represent, because these are the people who stand up and represent the country, fight for the country, keep food on shelves, farmers in fields, you know, factory workers on production lines that is what britain is totally real britain and you're right that they're not doing that alex instead they're at soho house having a quinoa salad with vegan tofu and that is the ecosystem in which they operate. Let's continue our countdown, though, of the worst 50 people in the UK today

and a new entry for 2025 at number 36, Lewis Goodall, the fake news agent's third wheel. At the British Passion Corporation and Sly News, Goodall was always a left-wing propagandist rather than a journalist. Now unleashed alongside John Sopel and Emily Maitlis, his gaslighting of his gullible audience continues at a fevered pace. Goodall has spent the year ignoring Labour scandals and incompetence to bitch incessantly, Alex Phillips, about Donald Trump and Nigel Farage while Britain burns. Oh, those three just make me feel sick to my stomach. I mean, I don't know which one's worse. On any given day, it's like, oh, God, is it the sort of annoying, pompous, never correct on anything BBC queer lasted way too long for a man of so little talent john sapelle is it emily maelis who would claim credit for sort of you know landing on the moon given the

opportunity who just you know limp haired or is it this sort of robert preston wannabe i'm a young academic with my tortoiseshell glasses he's probably got elbow pads on overly promoted because he represents a particular narrative lewis goodall now lewis again in real life i've met lewis a number of times and i get along with him very well he's a nice guy but this is what happens the bbc or global or whichever mainstream outlet it is whichever big sort of news core it is suddenly pick their person that they want to push and promote because they know that they are the sort of they can turn them into the poster boy of their ideology and that's what they've chosen in good old lewis lewis is a competent journalist and a nice man but i fear in the hands of global sort of a

megalomaniacal approach to podcasting and wanting to sort of change the world one program at a time to turn everyone into a rabid lefty he He's sort of becoming their performing monkey. And it doesn't suit him because actually, when he was with Sky, he actually, you know, proved himself to be very competent. The thing is, though, Alex, it's about where his heart is. And of course, he's worked for centre-left think tanks. He's worked for the Democrats in the US. And I think what the news agents or the fake news agents are trying to do is bring MSNBC style activist journalism to the United Kingdom. Now, of course, I find that totally ironic, because surely, the fact that the three people who are at the forefront of this journalism were all people who

just a year ago we were meant to believe would give impartial coverage to Donald Trump and Nigel when they were quite literally covering elections Alex I mean John Sobel covered the entire Trump administration uh Goodall was responsible for reporting on those elections on Newsnight. And we know Emily Maitlis was the impartial person on election night who was meant to crunch the numbers in an accurate style. Yet, you know, given your history in UKIP and the Brexit party, that she was always an activist, Alex. So I find it ironic that they think that they need to bring this here because my argument would be it's already here. It's been here for the past decade.

It's been here since Brexit because that was the moment, in my opinion, when the BBC went from a broadly centre-left organisation when it came to their news coverage to activists because they were so truly disgusted by that Brexit result. Sometimes, Alex, for fun, and some people might think I'm a loser, I literally go back and I watch the BBC's broadcast of Brexit because they are in mourning. The night begins with Hugh Edwards thinking there is zero chance, David Dimbley thinking there is zero chance of the Brexit vote going through. And so you get to watch in real time what they really think.

And you'll know those stories. I think it's Nigel actually who spoke of those stories of entering the BBC and seeing staff members actually crying at the result. It's funny, isn't it? Now they were supposed to be revolutionaries and independent broadcasters, you know, cutting their way bravely with tenacity in the independent digital world. How the mask has slipped on legacy media, because these people

couldn't wait to be able to come out of that closet and profess themselves as being rabid lefties. Although, you know, by the way, it was clear all along that you were and but it's you weren't fooling no one good all exactly but what's so sad is these people you know these supposedly independent podcasts have got the same big bucks behind them the same multi-national corporations to try and occupy the podcast space pretending it's all independent and new and revolutionary it isn't. These are the same corporations that have dominated linear television for so long. And, you know, it's constantly the big money is always put behind this sort of saccharine, nauseating, vacuous, unintelligent leftism that seems to hamper every single aspect of UK existence. Alex, I am so glad you have made that point

because I do think it's really important that people actually understand that there is nothing independent about the fake news agents. They are not independent journalists. They are part of Global. They are part of LBC. They have the same big advertising units selling their wares to

big time corporations like the Microsofts, like the Bill Gates, which is why they get people like Tony Blair and like Bill Gates on their podcast. There is nothing independent about them. Indeed, the only reason they actually left the BBC was because the new Director General, Tim Davey, and credit to him, although I think he failed, if I'm honest, but was trying to crack down on the politicisation of BBC News. Do you remember she had to apologise, Emily Maitlis, for her unhinged rant against Dominic Cummings, which is just totally inappropriate at a public service broadcaster what you're doing to what i'm doing which is cutting free and breaking loose of all of those institutional structures so that we can just broadcast the truth without bosses telling us what to do and actually critically without advertisers telling us what to do yeah and actually doing it under our own steam with our own energy with our own courage our own convictions and our own cash

you know we don't need puppet masters we're prepared to take the leap of faith and do what we think we should be doing on behalf of the general public these people are just forever employees of the deep state and the multinational big tech companies doing their bidding because they want the world to stay exactly as it's always been because they profited so well out of it. And that is just so devastating. The left wing is extremely good at making money, right? You just look at Davos, you look at advertising campaigns,

you look at DEI hires. The left wing has actually turned its whole ideology into capitalism, ironically, because it isn't true to its word. It doesn't actually, you know, they're all sort of silver spoon champagne socialists. And the right wing's got to learn how to do the same, frankly speaking. Yeah, indeed. But I think we're going to do it differently.

And I think actually in the end, even though they're going to throw everything at us, we will hopefully come out on top because obviously I look very closely at these numbers and no one is interested, Alex, in watching digital content from LBC or Channel 4 News. They have this massive institutional advantage because of the decades and decades of infrastructure that used to be required to broadcast. But actually, there is a democratisation of the news that is coming. And I think it will be very, very bad for those big organisations. Global, as a company, and Charlotte Gill has been doing great work on this over the past year,

is an activist company. They control the advertising in the London Tube network. They are behind controversial issues like assisted dying. And you're right at the moment that that might be where the money is. But there is this revolution coming to the media. And I think in the end they will struggle because, you know, I mean, Global loses a ton of money every year. Yeah, not enough, unfortunately, but the revolution is coming.

We've got to keep pushing. We've got to keep the momentum. Because at the end of the day, what we know and we're talking about it in terms of these people pretending they were impartial and covering elections. And then the minute they sort of get booted out, they go on these far leftist tirades. And you sort of think, well, here comes the mask slipping down again. But we all know what's behind it anyway. So this is why it's so important that true independent media on the right wing does thrive and does survive. Very well put.

At number 35, a new entry for the communist Ash Sarkar. Now, even Navarro Media's chief fool tried to get in on the vibe shift caused by Trump's election to claim she was never into all that woke stuff. But Sarkar's pernicious role in warping our culture because the legacy media became obsessed with giving a gigantic platform to her fringe anti-white anti-biological women views will not be forgotten and alex phillips i don't necessarily think ash sarka would have made the list until she tried to wash her hands of wokery and it was utterly nuts. nefarious ends and you just think you don't care you just want your mug on telly don't you don't have any convictions you will back any particular ideology or horse if you think that is the successful one if that is going to give you primacy of position if that is going to make you money if

that is basically your route to profit you have no dignity and no integrity and um and what's so sad is that the publishers lap it up they're like oh yeah who do we want to write about anti-wokeism? Oh, yeah, Ash Sarkar. That's one of us. They wouldn't actually dare go to somebody who has been for a long time a voice against the pernicious effects of this sort of brainwashing that's been taking place at corporate level. And all these leftists pretend to be sort of independent communists, anti-capitalists. They're the most sort of cynical

capitalistic people you could ever meet they just do everything for money everything for status um they don't believe in anything at all if all of a sudden it was decided tomorrow that um all dogs in the united kingdom should be killed they'd go along with it and actually when people go like talk about the far right or talk about fascism, they always pretend it's people on the right wing who have the propensity to go and sort of, you know, goose step and grow funny little moustaches. It isn't. Those aren't the people. Whoever gets sucked into sort of mass hysteria, propaganda and communal cruelty, it is people on the left. And it's clear that they would just sell their souls and shill for whatever happens to be the most popular opinion of the time without actually any moral scrutiny. And Alex, as a pro-Brexit campaigner, I'm sure you remember when Navarra Media and Ash Sarkar were talking about the unbearable whiteness of Brexit.

Yeah. I mean, we all know this, don't we, that the people on the left are the most racist, divisive, unpleasant, nasty, persecutory group of people you could ever, ever find. There she is, look at her, sticking her finger up, thinking she's so great. These people just run on cruelty and bullying and division um and that's all they know they're they're just nasty and unpleasant to the core and they get constant opportunities as a result and you and i both know don't we dan that we could have probably joined that brigade we had multiple opportunities in our career so easy would have been so easy my life would have been so much better when I was at the BBC.

If I turned around and said, oh, I love a bit of leftism, refugees welcome, I'd have probably been presenting politics live by now. I had plenty of opportunities to sell out and I never did. I've always stuck to my core beliefs because I know that they're true and they're worth fighting for. And never has that been more apparent and more critical than today. Totally. What about her anti-women stance, which I think was absolutely buying into the extreme woke ideology. So you know, Julie Bindle, who has done incredible work, I didn't agree with Julie Bindle about a lot of stuff. But when it comes to her work alongside the likes of J.K.

Rowling to speak out and protect the rights of biological women, I am with her 100% of the way. Now, Ash Sarkar described Julie Bindle, you might remember, as an anti-trans bigot. But do you know what for, Alex? She was an anti-trans bigot because she didn't want a man in a female prison do you remember that disgusting story of adam graham who claimed to be isla bryson he was a rapist he is a rapist and nicholas sturgeon because of her woke ideology was putting her in so putting him in a female prison. Julie Bendall for calling that out was described as an anti-trans bigot by Ash Sunker. I mean, that is so far down the woke rabbit hole.

I don't think you can get any further into it. Nobody hates women more than other women. And this is how left-wing women work. They always sort of act as a herd. They want to sort of be um you know in the pack leading the pack and like ostracizing anybody who is a threat to that and a lot of the problems we face in modern society when it comes to so-called progressive ism um is from middle-class women they are an absolute blight and it's all sort of part of

their female brains and their inherent mentality um it's basically it's like trying to have it's keeping up the joneses it's having the latest designer shoes or the latest most desirable handbag uh flouting around the latest woke ideology aren't i wonderful aren't i superior aren't i more beautiful a person on the inside because i say this even if like i, it doesn't attribute itself to anything. We're talking about people who just sell out without any more scrutiny for the sake of earning money. And unfortunately, a lot of what's gone on and taken place in the 21st century is as a result of twisted middle class women, frankly speaking. Let's continue the countdown at number 34. Donika McCarthy, a new entry for the climate extremist. Now, when GB News needs a hard left environmental nutter, they now call on this deeply unpleasant man whose views are so extreme that he would bankrupt the country by outlawing farms, enforcing veganism, curtailing cars and banning air travel.

The left somehow failed to be outraged recently when he confused two black conservative former ministers, the ex-chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng and the ex-foreign and home secretary James Cleverley while appearing as a guest on Farage. Now, just imagine the reaction if Nigel had made the same mistake. And I find this guy, I don't know if you interviewed him on GB News, Alex, but he always used to be offered up, I guess, because we had to do that sort of annoying like balance thing. Right. So any time you would be discussing something to do with Nut Zero, oh, you can have horrible Donika McCarthy on. And actually, I find this guy such a malign influence.

Yeah, a lot of hard leftists are malign influence and they're just desperate for prominence. These people have some sort of mental condition where they're inherently attention seekers, which is what pushes them to extremities. They just desperately want me, me, me. Look at me. I'm going to shout the most radical thing I can. I'm going to sort of have a crazy haircut. I'm going to dye my hair blue. I'm going to wear the most outrageous of clothes and I'm going to say the most outrageous of things because it's frankly a form of narcissism. And so when these people, you know, they will go on any show, any show at all. You know, you invite that man on to sort of naked dating and he'll probably go on it. They'll do absolutely anything for a whiff of attention because frankly, a lot of them are actually unhinged.

And because programs like GB News, channels like GB News are boycotted by the left, but they have to balance under off communism, they end up having just the sort of nut jobs from the left appear on the programmes. And like I said, these people should just be institutionalised. There was a point in time where people like him would have been lifted off the street and carted off to the funny farm yes i think it'd be i think it'd be uh very well suited there i mean alex when is the time going to come when the mainstream media realizes that the policies that are being pushed by him and to be honest by ed milliband too actually deserve serious scrutiny but ed milliband's a more worrying one isn't it because despite looking like something that's been made by that guy who did wallace and gromit

wallace and gromit character yeah and having permanent nasal congestion and standing in a field playing a ukulele they still take him seriously and his politics are fanatical you know he views climate change with neo-religiosity. To him, it is a cult and everything is so, you know, important and critical and right now in an emergency. And the media just go along with it. They're like, yeah, fine, let Britain completely self-flagellate at the altar of net zero. Let's completely de-industrialize. Let's become so impoverished that people are living on the streets and having to cannibalize one another that's okay because guess what the world is on fire and only britain can do something about it and we were talking about the professionalization

of media and all the people coming from the same schools and the same universities and they've all been brainwashed and fed this stuff for years at university and to climb up the greasy pole in their careers that they honestly, I think, fundamentally believe in it a lot of the time, but you get no diversity of thought and therefore no critical examination of what actually are deeply dangerous policies. And it is dangerous. That is the point, isn't it? It is dangerous. And I guess I'm so critical, Alex, of the fact that the media feels like they don needs to be challenged you don't actually have to provide balance on is the issue of climate change because they say it's set and that just shows you doesn't it where the establishment are at when it comes to issues of not zero

yeah and you know what this whole idea there's any such thing as settled science really gets on my wick at the best of things because throughout history people have gone oh look uh the sun's flat that's it yeah done that's the settled science oh look you know this exists and then 10 years later someone goes oh no it doesn't we've actually found out a bit more science is the least settled thing on planet earth nobody there is no such thing as settled science the point of science is not agreeing and constantly pushing the boundaries and trying to innovate and discover and research and disprove over and over again and so the more we have this lazy groupthink idea that some things are just settled um the more bankrupt we are as a society and as a culture and the less able we are to innovate um but the thing is you need to speak

to other people in britain we all know how bad a situation the country is in. We're in sort of, you know, a doom loop now of decline, which is really hard to see how we're going to get out of it. So many people I'm speaking to, they're having their wages cut. They can't afford their bills. They can't find work, especially the latter category, the sort of wealthy middle classes who have a lot of money and a lot of experience are fed up with the government are

just leaving because we're just in such gross economic decline with the highest energy costs in the world. Every way you look, you're just saying, how do we resuscitate Great Britain now? And a big part of that has been due to net zero fanaticism. Yep. And it's not going to get any better while Ed Miliband remains in the cabinet. Potentially, I would argue, one of the most dangerous men in the country. Continuing our countdown now, this is the 50 worst people in the UK today at number 33, down just one position from last year, Tom Bradby, the Harry and Meghan supporting ITV News presenter. This is the man, of course, who Prince William ghosted for his deranged support of the Sussexes, and he continues as their most senior British media propagandist.

To the eternal shame of those managing Wokai TV news, Bradby has also moved the apparently impartial bulletin to the left with constant editorialising, especially against Donald Trump. So Alex Phillips, let's kick off with the royal connection here, because I have a real issue with this. Effectively, Prince William decided, quite rightly in my opinion, that Bradby could no longer be trusted as a friend, given he had so blatantly sided with Harry and Meghan over Megsit. And let's be honest, I think history will judge that to be the wrong decision. I think we all know now that the warnings that William and King Charles and the late Queen Elizabeth II were providing

were based on actual experience with Meghan Markle, which has proven to be true. But because William decided to ghost Tom Bradby, and William is a tough guy, you know, when he decides you're out, you're out. And Bradby was out because William felt so betrayed. Once that happened, Alex, rather than thinking, okay, I'm a journalist, I'm leading a big news organization, so I'm going to have to make sure I'm balanced on this. He went so far down the Harry and Meghan bias path. It's actually a joke to the point, I'm sure you'll

remember, the ITV chief executive effectively forced Piers Morgan out of the network because of an email sent to her by Meghan Markle. But who was the conduit, Alex, I'm told, between all of that contact? It was Tom Bradby. I don't believe, given they are an off-communist regulated state broadcaster, not like the BBC, but they have to sign up to all of the public broadcasting edits that give them this huge distribution channel, I would argue that Tom Bradby should actually have nothing to do with the coverage of his BFFs, Harry and Meghan, because how on earth can he cover them impartially? But instead, remember, he did that interview with Prince Harry about Spare when Harry literally came on television and said, oh, no, no, we never said that there was a racist

within the royal family. And any journalist, Alex Phillips, would have said, you literally said that. And Tom Bradby just sort of nodded along. Well, again, it comes down to the left wing getting away with things because the words coming out of Harry and Meghan's mouth were she's been victimised because she's black. It has to be true. It can't be false. It has to be treated with kid gloves. It has to be believed in first utterance. They have to be venerated for their courage in saying it. If Prince Harry had turned around and said something completely different, then they'd have been all hell-break loose and a load of nonsense thrown at them. Do you remember when Prince Harry sort of, you know, dressed up in a Nazi uniform?

But as long as what you're saying is racism is real and dangerous and I'm here to fight it, and you can roll that out to any ism that you like, as long as you're an ism-iter and a huge champion of the isms, you'll just be taken at face value and lauded for your courage. And so, you know, Bradby knows which way the wind blows. He's made this special relationship with that couple, giving him unique access. They are clickbait.

You know, they do attract a big audience and he can deliver getting those interviews. And so they want him to stay in the loop. They want him to be part of the team so they can get that special access. So a couple who, quite frankly, should be ignored. I mean, what are they doing? They're not working royals, so they don't have any status or, you know, they don't have any privilege. They don't speak on behalf of a country they're not members of the wall family anymore they're just two has-beens knocking about in a big mansion in california desperately trying to grift and make money from you know talking about woke topics they shouldn't

really be given the time of day after the things they said which have been proven to be utterly false and yet you know they are still venerated by some sections even though they're broadly very dispopular now because they seem they seem to be the people you know pushing back because they're the progressive leftists and like i said you know bradby has discovered that he's one of the few remaining people who will be granted access to them and so he has to go along and you know dance to their tune it's sort of like celebrity journalism, isn't it? I remember when it was like, you'll only get an interview with Taylor Swift if you're lovely about her every single day of the year.

But I would argue, Alex, this is quite different given that Tom Bradby isn't even a royal editor. He is effectively the editor-in-chief of ITV News. He sits at that table every night and editorialises quite blatantly, actually, which again, he is allowed to get away with because he's on the left. For example, we've seen all of his negativity about Donald Trump over the past few years. And I just feel like he should have to be honest about the very, very close friendship he has with Prince Harry and Meghan

when he is covering stories connected to them. And the problem is you see it through the whole organisation, because trust me, Tom Bradby has a lot of power at ITV. I can tell you he was instrumental in my decision to end up leaving ITV. Some folk might remember I actually spent 10 years, it's crazy to think about it now given how woke I've become, but I spent 10 years on the ITV breakfast sofa working specifically on the Lorraine Kelly show where I would cover the royal family

and my coverage of Harry and Meghan was just honest right it actually wasn't particularly negative I just reported the truth of what was going on because this is all of the time Alex of the wedding and then the fallout right but because Piers Morgan was on Good Morning Britain and Tom Bradby couldn't stand it he couldn't stand the fact that Piers Morgan was on Good Morning Britain and Tom Bradby couldn't stand it, he couldn't stand the fact that Piers Morgan was calling I just wish that he was forced to be honest because I don't think he does an honest job reporting on them. Right, yeah. I mean, it does seem that he is incredibly compromised. But like I said, you know, these people,

left-wingism is built upon bullying, really. It's built upon a keeping up with the Joneses. It's built upon this idea that they can intimidate and shut down other people and they want to keep their own secure, cozy positions of prominence and their big salaries and have people lord over them and venerate them by adopting all of these false narratives, by going along with the trendy issues of the day. And it's funny, isn't it, when it comes to Harry and Meghan, it's not about whether you like them as a couple or dislike them as a

couple. It depends what side of that divide you come down on, whether you come down on sort of common sense, honesty, integrity, patriotism, and all of those things, or whether you want to be part of the nasty woke brigade who want to bully, who want to divide, who want to paint themselves as victims, and who want to manipulate. Indeed. I also do just have to say, though, Alex, it was bad form on his part. Wherever you stand on this issue, William gave Bradby the scoop of his life. Do you remember? It was the engagement interview, the only time him and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, have ever spoken about their love story, and they went into quite a lot of detail about it, actually, was that engagement interview,

which was granted to Tom Bradby, gave Bradby quite a lot of his international success and fame. And so I guess what I'm saying is I understand why william felt put the personal aside he also felt a professional betrayal to alex yeah indeed and you know i hear this a lot from people who on the royal beat to go and do coverage of the royal family and it is a very sort of tight-knit circle everyone knows everyone it's a privileged little club who have access to the world and personal relationships and personal friendships are built and my understanding is bradby knew those princes from a very very young age and so when the two princes fell out and bradby very much took the side of harry that would have felt a bit like almost in a divorce it would have felt like someone picking sides very personally i'm sure yeah it did and i

think it's really important that you raise what harry railed against, by the way. It's called the Royal Rotor. And I actually despise the way the Royal Rotor operates. I don't think it gives proper royal reporting. It was something that when I launched Outspoken, I was very, very clear on. I will deliver the sorts of exclusives that the Royal Rotor won't because the problem is, Alex, they become so close to the courtiers and they are so reliant on that access to royal events for their reporting that what it means is that very often they are not reporting the truth. And, you know, I'm a big monarchist, right? I'm a big royalist. I still believe that stories that are in the public interest connected to the royal family should be covered. And very often, you see the royal rota covering them up. And you remember the whole phone hacking scandal was only ever blown out into the open because Tom Bradby was lending Prince William and Prince Harry ITN's editing equipment, that phone call was hacked by Glenn

Mulcair, the then Royal Editor of the News of the World, and it was published. Now, of course, it was very much in the public interest that the phone hacking story came into the public domain. I would argue, Alex, that it is highly questionable as to whether Tom Bradby should have been lending ITN's editing equipment to two princes who he claimed he was meant to be impartially covering. Do you see the point that I'm making? No, I do, but you're absolutely right. This is how the Royal Rotor works. I'm sure even if he had reported it to his seniors,

they would have said, well, if it keeps you in with the princes, do it. And that is very compromised. That is how sort of, you know, states where media operates in deep and dark countries. Although I think a lot of the time, the higher echelons of journalism, there's a lot of mutual backscratching between the powers that be and those people who are supposed to be speaking truth to power. Alex Phillips, do stand by because in just one minute, we're going to continue our countdown of the 50 worst people in the UK today.

Chris Bryant, the Labour shadow minister for the media. And it says something quite chilling about this Labour administration that the longtime loser, who once branded me a dangerous nutcase for campaigning against catastrophic lockdowns while defending the scientific concept of herd immunity, is now responsible in part for the regulation of the internet in the United Kingdom. Because trust me, Brian is always on the wrong side of the argument. And unfathomably, given his behavior, he was until last year the chair of the Common Select Committee on Standards, but had to recuse himself over the Boris Johnson witch hunt because he prejudged the outcome. Thoroughly nasty, thoroughly unpleasant. He made all those false allegations about Nigel Farage in parliament

about his connections to Russia and is so gutless that he refused to repeat them outside the House of Commons and Alex Phillips I just find it really gross that this is the type of guy that's been rewarded with a ministerial position yeah I mean like i've had the displeasure of having done things like uh question time with chris bryant who i've never met somebody who can sit and hold court talking about himself for so long despite me as an unpleasant person he's one of those sort of bitter nasty vitriolic leftists who utterly despise the right wing, makes it very personal. And so you kind of have to question where this man's moral compass is a lot of the time. And so being given the role of, you know, regulating the internet, which there's a whole load of concern out there

about the impacts on free speech. But there's also a whole load of concern out there about some of the moral integrity of content online. We know that kids are being pushed videos of self-harming. We know about the trans brainwashing and cultification that's gone on. We know about the dangers of unbridled pornography and little children watching it. And so there are some very difficult moral balancing acts to do, where you preserve the freedom of existence and freedom of speech for adults, but you also safeguard children. And so if someone's doing or in charge of that delicate work, you would hope they have a really venerable character, that someone can be proven to have earned the trust of the public in being provable to be a decent person of integrity. And if you gave me a whole long list of people, I just wouldn't pick Chris Bynes out to be the man to be the bastion of any of that.

And remember, Alex, this is not a guy who can be trusted. He refused to issue a personal apology to Nigel Farage. Now, what he claimed in Parliament potentially had a real knock-on effect over the debanking scandal because it was cited in the Cootes case with Nigel Farage. And listen to how just totally out of whack his figures were. So he tried to claim that Farage was being paid by the Russian state and cited a £548,000 figure. In fact, Nigel had been paid well under £5,000 and it was not from the Russian state. It was because he made two minor appearances on the TV channel RT,

which at the time, Alex, virtually everyone in Westminster was appearing on. It actually had a studio in Westminster. So I'm sorry, there's a big difference between £5,000 and £548,000. He corrected the record in Parliament, but he's such a nasty character. He refused to make a personal apology to Farage. Yeah. And if Nigel was so inclined, he could have probably sued for defamationamation Nigel could sue a lot of people for defamation I'm sure but he's never that way inclined and never really litigates

in that way he just takes it all with the rough and tumble of politics but this is exactly sort of stuff I'm talking about that is reprehensible it doesn't particularly show balance it doesn't particularly show integrity it doesn't show caution it doesn't show having a strong moral compass and when it comes to things like monitoring the internet, regulating media, that is exactly what we need in the 21st century, when there are so many difficult things to grapple with, so many complex equilibriums as we move into, you know, through the digital revolution into unknown territory. And Chris Bryant shouldn't really be anywhere near it. No, indeed. At number 31, a new entry for Iqbal Mohammed, the pro-Palestine MP. Part of Jeremy Corbyn's independent alliance of sectarians,

Mohammed found fame as the bloke who defended first cousin marriage in the House of Commons. Alex Phillips, a disturbing sign of what's coming, of what's ahead in British politics? A disturbing sign of what's already here and how gutless the Labour Party have been to do anything about any of it. You know, now they're pushing forward legislation for Islamophobia when this man stood up and essentially tried to defend incest in Parliament. We know that first cousin marriage marriage not only does it make us our skin crawl and make us feel really creeped out we also know that kinds of debilitating birth defects for the offsprings of those marriages very often it also comes involved with forced

marriages as well um and and so it should be something that is very clearly reprehensible and yet this man there he is um went out won an election seat because of the Muslim vote. I always wonder how much of that Muslim vote is honest, how much is sort of messed with, let's say, meddled with and uses sort of subcontinental practices in order to succeed. But we're just going to see a lot more of this in the next election, I'm afraid. And the Labour Party now want to introduce Islamophobia and so what other topics which are clearly morally reprehensible in a Judeo-Christian country are going to be spoken about in Parliament as if they should be normalised and as if trying to prevent them is some form of racial or religious hatred I mean it's deeply deeply worrying I think these people need to be

scrutinised far more than they have been. The media have just had a hands-off approach. The media went around talking about the four reform UK MPs as if this is sort of fascism of our time, the most dangerous thing that's ever happened in politics. I don't hear any of them looking into these pro-Ghazal MPs, looking at their funding, looking at their belief systems, and actually asking very serious questions of what sort of effect they pose to our democracy. Indeed. Very, very good point. Alex 37, Sankita Miska. Number 36, Lewis Goodall. 35, Ash Sarkar. 34, Donika McCarthy. 33, Tom Bradby. 32, Chris Bryant. And 31, Iqbal Muhammad. Alex Phillips, so great to have you. And we'll be back to business as usual next week. But of course,
