    #080 - Phil Lojacono - What Broken Democracies Can Learn from Switzerland

    Phil Lojacono is a Swiss entrepreneur and political thinker with deep insights into how Switzerland has built one of the most stable, decentralised, and citizen-focused democracies in the world. In this interview, we explore what broken democracies like the UK and US can learn from the Swiss model: from localism and tax competition to limited government, civic maturity, and referendums that actually hold power to account. Phil explains why decentralisation works, how Switzerland avoids political extremism, and why trust in government must be earned, not assumed.

    #078 - Matt Goodwin - Are Nigel Farage and Reform Britain’s Next Government

    Matt Goodwin is a British political scientist, author, and public intellectual known for his work on populism, national identity, and political realignment. With decades of research and media experience, he’s become one of the UK’s most provocative and insightful voices on the future of British politics. In this interview, we explore the meteoric rise of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the collapse of the Conservatives, and what may be the most profound political shift in Britain since the early 20th century. Matt breaks down why mainstream parties have lost touch with voters, how mass immigration and cultural drift have reshaped the national mood, and why Farage’s brand of nationalism is resonating across class, age, and region. We also tackle political censorship, the failure of multiculturalism, and whether Britain is heading for a complete democratic realignment — or something even bigger.

    Alp Mehmet is the Chairman of Migration Watch UK and a former British ambassador with decades of experience in immigration policy, diplomacy, and public service. In this interview we discuss mass immigration, demographic change, and political cowardice. Alp explains why current migration policy is unsustainable, how GDP per capita is falling, why integration has failed, and what the real cost of ignoring these trends could be. With over 1.2 million people entering Britain yearly and political parties dodging the issue, is the UK on a path to irreversible cultural and social change?

    #074 - Jasmine Birtles - The Broken Welfare State

    Jasmine Birtles is a financial expert, author, and founder of Money Magpie. In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, she explains why Britain’s economy is teetering on the edge—from a broken tax system and bloated welfare state to personal finance illiteracy and out-of-control government spending. We cover the exodus of wealth creators, the reality of Universal Credit traps, how schools fail to teach money skills, and why Jasmine believes a major crash might be the only path to reform. We also dive into Bitcoin, gold, and the cultural stigma around financial success in the UK.

    #073 - David Starkey - Why Britain is No Longer a Democracy

    Historian and broadcaster David Starkey delivers an honest critique of modern Britain’s decline—from constitutional vandalism to the death of democratic accountability. Starkey traces the unraveling of centuries-old English liberties, exposing how Tony Blair’s government dismantled parliamentary sovereignty, politicised the judiciary, and empowered unelected quangos to rule by decree. In this interview, Starkey explains why Britain is no longer a true democracy, how legal and cultural revolutions hollowed out national identity, and why the country stands at a historic crossroads. Starkey makes the case for restoring tradition, courage, and a politics rooted in freedom.
