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
2
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.

With a focus on adaptation, resilience, and risk management, Rupert argues that climate change is not a “woke” issue but a clear and present danger that demands sober, cross-partisan solutions. In this interview, Rupert challenges mainstream narratives, question the failures of Net Zero messaging, and explore why conservatives should take the lead on climate preparedness. From threats to national security and food supply to the economic costs of inaction, Rupert lays out a case for tackling climate change that doesn’t rely on ideology—but on common sense.

#070 - Nick Timothy - Why Labour’s Economic Plan Will Break Britain
2
Nick Timothy is the Conservative Member of Parliament for West Suffolk, a political strategist, writer, and former chief adviser to Prime Minister Theresa May. With deep experience inside Westminster and a sharp critique of Britain’s political class, Nick has become one of the country’s most compelling voices for conservative reform. In this interview, Nick explains why Britain's political and economic systems are no longer fit for purpose—and why both Labour is failing the nation. We explore the root causes of Britain’s decline: broken economic thinking, a bloated and overreaching state, uncontrolled immigration, and the collapse of cultural confidence. Nick breaks down the dangers of Labour’s tax-and-spend agenda, the betrayal of conservative values, and the urgent need for radical change. He argues that only by restoring true conservative principles, economic resilience, and national self-belief can Britain avoid irreversible decline and rebuild a freer, stronger society.
